@jimkage rule of 3: if there's a batch of sweet and comfy episodes in a row (13-14-15-16), expect something bad happening to either the MC or the FMC. Mood whiplash effect coming soon.
@sidann insert scene where Souta's desk gets fucked up with dirt and tags (die, you poor paypiggy!!) and the real bullying begins the day after, with Yuri giving him the cold shoulder and her fans (the bullies who were about to sexually abuse Haru) gang beating the shit up of him.
@LordTrollbias Fumi is quiet only because she assumes Souta never went to the bridge to hook up with "prostitutes". Once she discovers Souta resumed his meetings with Haru, she will take action again.

@WhisCalifa69 This whole manga is just a longer and darker episode of La Rosa de Guadalupe without the budget for a fan scene

@continuant if its for the darkness, then it's more akin to Mujer... Casos de la Vida real or El Dicho than La Rosa. For telenovela standards, La Rosa's still really tame compared to Mujer, el Dicho and 80s-mid 90s telenovelas.
Hoping it doesn't go "Dos Mujeres, Un Camino". Shit ended on a bittersweet and crappy way for the MC of that telenovela.
PD: it's me or am i the one who picked the hidden OG Kamen Rider reference when Haru shouted "All right 24 (24-gou), off we go!". She's still a child at heart, first playing at arcades past chapter and now shouting things more fit for a 12 years old kid into tokusatsu. If Souta didn't brutalize his bike....

@bejad007 just a kiss?? In Souta's disarray'd and porn filled mind, that means a french kiss (remember he has the idea girls behave like those from jav mags and give affection in exchange of a few bucks, so his idea of relationships is already biased). That's why he shall restrain his lust and let the crapsack universe of this manga decide for him, only for this time. Leaving someone in a good mood doesn't mean you can take advantage of them.
As for the smut tag, just wait for Haru asking Souta his name.

@smolbaka Apparently, Yuzuki draws Haru's Harus WAAAY bigger than Hayashi (and Hayashi is more detailed and tends to put a thin lipstick on female characters' lips). Chapters 13,15 and 16 were entirely drawn and written by the former, as the latter also has to draw other het and BL serializations and even yaoi doujinshis.
And not only both of them draw this manga, but also write it.
BTW, the 2nd volume has no physical presents, but the magazine that runs BaiSupu opened an online application in which people can participate to win an authographed by the authresses handrawn color illustration of their fav. character. Only 3 people will win.

Authresses 'till the moment were thorough about details. I liked they still lowkey address Souta's twisted misconcept about the ""relationship"" he has with Haru, as he still thinks he's just a customer to her, but not glossing over the fact of it. For reference, it's on Pg. 16, when Souta sinceres himself about why he can't date the blonde. For the moment being, it was a blessing in disguise for the plot the police cockblocked Souta from continuing the dialog, just like the addressing of his pariah status he has on his school on Ch. 13. If Souta finished (he was obviously gonna say "besides... I'm just a customer to you"), a new and more serious misunderstanding would have happened. Luckily, he still has room for growth.
That was something i forgot to point atm the chapter released bc of speedreading.

@Airwave2k2 You make it sound like he chose to do it...he has no choice but to "Cheap out on the date" because of how poor he is. He doesn't have the money for any kind of proper date.
@WhisCalifa69 He has a TV...I'm sure he knows there's more to kissing than just the kind you see in JAV mags. Also...I doubt he thinks normal relationships are like prostitution; in that an exchange of money needs to occur for some kind of intimacy. That's just with Haru...and only because he believes her to be a prostitute...and she's done nothing to remove that misconception...instead, she's only enabled it.

@Kami_Nana I don't think he has time to watch japanese telenovelas on tv and discover how "SFW*" kisses are. Between his sweatshop job, his hangouts at the bridge, the school and whatever BS he does, he has next to zero time to watch TeeVee, so the only reference he has for kisses are the vintage JAV mags Matoba gave him. Besides, I don't think they watch too much tv, as they are so poor they also have to cut out costs on the power, gas and water bills (one chapter had Fumi scolding Souta for spending on the tube more minutes than the normal for them).
The actual thing is... he has almost no idea about how relationships in general function, not even the romantic ones. Remember how puzzled and (slightly disturbed) he was on his halfassed date with Yuri at the start. Besides, he's technically a pariah and only Yuri talks to him in school. So, he's socially stunted and way behind other kids of his age in that regard.
However, "Haru enabled Souta's misconception". Maybe she's doing that on an unconscious way, but she has her reasons. She knows he's piss poor and is vulnerable as shit. So, she kind of put 2 and 2 and thought Souta will drift apart from her if she confesses she stalked him all the way to his house and realized he's poor. Souta's character is defined by his shame of being poor, therefore, just imagine how would he feel if he knows Haru knows. He will fell she's only pitying him and will fall into another unstable phase. She also will deny she's growing attached to him (her lines on this chapter just scream tsundere all the way), so keeping the status quo is the best option for now. Haru ain't the brightest bulb of those two tho. Remember it took 3 chapters (1 month and a week in universe) for her to realize the value of Souta's pennies. The worst is that she can't just go and say she wants to be friends with him bc Souta can get the wrong idea and drift apart.
Their (customer & prostitute) game will stop at some moment when one of them "starts to break the ToS (Terms of Service)" more frequently and the line between their little game and a real relationship starts to fade away.
Sure he had no options, but to cheap out the (not) date, but @Airwave2k2 just said "what a champ" bc he managed to get Haru smile with every financial and status quo stake against him. I know poorfags irl who manage to succeed on their dates and social interactions with barely CL$1000 (app. USD 1,29, JPY 136) and they are usually called champs here.
*Safe for work.
BTW: just discovered the manga title is actually a pun with "Buy Spring" lol.
PSDT (spoiler marked bc the 17th chapter is about to be dropped on stores in Japan... next wednesday bc of muh Hiroshima and obon holidays):

Souta will chicken out the next chapter. The cliffhanger is just conspicuously similar to that in which Fumi thought Souta didn't come to the house and was about to snap at him.
