Must suck feeling like you're going to be looked at suspicious for walking into a store on your own to give them money for something.
It's not even like he was in a women's lingerie shop or anything, either. Even that shouldn't be an issue if you talk to a sales rep about why you're there, but.......yeah.
Anyway I hope he finds something good. I will say that Yuu's face on p.14 felt like a bit of a flag, the way she was looking at Maki after what he'd said about her choosing the stuffed bear. But I could be reading too much into that reaction from her (haven't read the source material so don't know if there's something in future developments).
But, thanks for the TL.
