She said it herself, he isn't enough of a man to actually do that. Rather, I wouldn't be surprised if some random neighbour or classmate spot them and turn into another drama
If someone wonder he have damaged his bike in chapter 2 together with cake from Mom (Fumi) as he was riding too fast to be Spring/ Haru.
Also wonder if something extra will come with volume 2.
@XNovalX
Worst thing you can to do someone with that kind of situation (depression/ hard life circumstances leading to depression) is to change your attitude 180 degrees to them out of nowhere. They will just see it as pity and only take it more to themself that they are "nothing/ useless" and so on. Depression is really bad, serious and needs a lot of time and effort to deal with it- by small steps.
@GuitarLegend
Thanks for chapter. Also there is small typo as bus fare was 410 Yen and (subtle difference in effect/ meaning) maybe something like "although" or "but" would be better instead of "besides" (page 16) as she wanted to make more obvious counter argument to cheer him up.

It's a sweet chapter, which is even more unsettling, because you know a storm is brewing inside both his mom, her stepfather, and Yuri.
Otherwise, there's some good characterization moments here
@XNovalX Because he doesn't know she knows about his situation, and I'd imagine it's sensitive subject, so she's trying to act as she did before not to raise suspicion, albeit she toned it down a bit and is trying to be more soft, hence why she corrected herself with "it's a little too much even with allowance" as to not hurt his feelings

@Tamerlane Ah yes, I now remember her making that point. But this MC is dense anyways so he probably wouldn't make a connection, and honestly, it wouldn't hurt to show some character development. I'm honestly tired of these sour characters being some of the main characters in almost all mangas. That's why I now prefer manhwas or webtoons where they don't rely as much on overused, shitty cliches.

If it was for a first kiss, wouldn't have it been better for Souta to let Yuri kiss him and then tell her to fuck off?? Bc Haru still ain't comfy enough with him, doesn't consider him as a man (although is obvious. He's 14 years old) nor showed signs of attraction for such a thing. Leaving someone in a good mood ain't synonym for letting your lust go unbound.
Seriously, Souta, stop it. If you go under a jaded phase it's gonna be your fault for pushing your luck.
Tbh, this chapter being really quiet, kinda sweet and comfy had me being WAY more anxious (and that is already bad for my current mood. KanoKari's latest chapter already left me anxious) , due to Souta's own lust and the feeling that something really bad is about to happen. Still a good chapter nevertheless, Haru's past and reasons about being under Kasuga bridge were revealed. F for her biological dad.
@XNovalX if Souta realizes Haru knows about his shitsack life, he'd feel miserable bc he'll think she's just pitying him. That's why.
@smolbaka they're inconsistent (it depends on which one of the authresses is drawing the episode. Both girls do the story and art in collaboration). Still big for a 17yo girl.

@NoForcee So you think Japan is a utopia where everyone can buy anything, and the country doesn't have any social inequality? That's the idea anime and manga give you, but as it happens with all countries around the world, Japan is not perfect. There are homeless people and poor people, its not a big deal. Of course Japan is better than a lot of countries, but it does have its problems

I don't know, I think the characters here are pretty complicated. Like MC may seem dense, but there's a good reason for it, in that he's had limited interactions with people because of how poor he is and is more of a social pariah so has had the opportunity to understand people. It's not that he's stupid, he's just unaware because he was never given the same chances as everyone else.
Haru may seem like a bitchy teenager, but that's because she lives in a toxic home environment, and gets harassed by middle schoolers who think she's a prostitute, and so has a very dismissive facade to get them to leave her alone. Really she does open up to MC progressively more rand more as the story goes on.
I don't think it's fair to say that these characters are just cliched archetypes, because there definitely have some degree of depth to them and, as the story develops, we do see more of what shapes them. This chapter alone we got some insight into Haru's biological father and her thoughts/relations as to why she dislikes her stepfather so much and what she thinks of her original father
Though, I should also note Manhwas/Manhuas/Webtoons have their own issues...(My favorite is Suicide Boy but that hardly ever gets updated)
@XNovalX
I established in an earlier chapter he makes less than your average sweatshop employee. His mom is keeping all the money he earns to pay for expenses @NoForcee

@XNovalX
Well you are right. I would say this is problem that we don't know how much time passes between most of the chapters. My guess it wasn't even a week or more than 2 since she learned about his situation and that's why she still corrects herself from her normal way of talking. Probably it will lead to what you mentioned little bit later. I mean so far author have kept eye to the details like with mentioning cops patrols in chapter 1 and using it later on.
@Tamerlane
Exactly and it's dealing with serious themes quite well. Especially different types of bad/ broken families that Souta, Spring and Yuri have. So far authors have kept good work up and this really could went cliché and full media noise (attention seeking) with rape or something similar. So it's worth to give it credit of trust after those 16 chapters

@Ruroumi Japan has a backtrack record of being ashamed of its poverty and about certain things that clash a lot with their traditionalistic and family-heavy values (such as poverty, singleparenthood, women still being single after turning 25, prostitution, rental girlfriends...). It's actually worse than Germany, bc people condemn things that go against their values and isolate them as if they never existed instead of being comprehensive and helpful to those people.
