Random worker at that place was pretty nice

And I'm also pleasantly surprised he likes his friend and doesn't think he's a nuisance or something

@JohnnyBallsack In the end his friend and the time he spends with him is his only link to that precious everyday life he desires.
And about the other dude, yeah he was nice, but the impliction I asume is that money can eaese your life and get you on the good side of people like we've seen through the manga. But in reallity there's no real connection nor good intentions from the other side, and ends up being spent/wasted in some meaningless diversion or an escape from reallity.

I wonder what happened to isami now. Also they allow this much touching in a Pub? is that a mistranslation? Ive known about hostess bars but they dont allow that kind of touching. Maybe VIPs or strip clubs sure but they have a place that allows that kind of skinship?

When Maru called out of the blue and told Tobio to bring all his money, I was expecting he would try to steal it. But instead we got crossdressing Maru and a groping hostess bar lol.

That, but I also think it was very elaborate. The tout played the good cop, while manager played the bad cop (and he has to keep up his appearance). That way, it seems like they actually care about the law and rules, but in reality, they just want those stupid kids to come back again.

And how to make sure of it? Let's have the tout bail them out and be "friendly and kind", so that they can remember him and be more likely to visit again. That's how I looked at it, at least.

There are all kinds of places there. The ones you think of, the "only spending time and being flirty" are a thing, of course, but more hardcore ones, with touching and foreplay are there too. And, of course, the straight up "brothels, but not really, because it's not all that legal tbh" are a thing too.

Like, officially, it's a pub or a bar, but under the radar, everybody knows what is is and what services are there. They just had the 'bad luck" of not knowing the difference. And to be honest, seeing all the guys drowning in oppai on their way to the booth, I could've also thought it to be a brothel.
