I personally don't drop a manga if it's going through a bad patch, and I've seen worse bad patches than this. I drop a manga when I find I don't care about the story or what happens anymore.
I want to know what happens in this story. Fine, there are a few cliche moments, Haruto makes decisions we don't like and Eba has turned into what seems like a complete bitch, but you know what? I think I wouldn't like it if it was all happy from the word go. Conflict is good. Nobody knows what's really going to happen. It's not as predictable as you think.
Plus, if Haruto just moved on and none of this "pointless" conversation was happening with Kazama's surgery and stuff, I would think it was moving too fast. I guess it seems slow to us because we're reading a chapter a week and it seems like nothing is happening.
So personally, I'm not dropping it or keeping it on hold. I'm generally interested in what happens next and if that means reading chapters where nothing really happens for 5 minutes a week until something happens then so be it.
I would laugh if something develops in next weeks chapter after you've just put it on hold
