That's not 100% of his pre tax income by a long shot , and you're still using the assumption he'd be making 100 trips. Which is unrealistic to say the least.

Feel free to reply after you actually read and understand the post chain.
It seems like you're incapable of reading yourself . Or you'd have seen where I said your initial assumption didn't make sense. Then went on to say that he'd likely be making 2 trips a weekend . Which is 12 trips total (3months * 4 weekends) and no where near his whole paycheck unless MC is broke af. You should keep your speaking down to others to a minimum, especially when you're wrong

Hold on boys, this road is turning faster than we can handle
Do you understand that 100 one-way tickets is 50 round trips? I mentioned that in contrast to annual (yearly) salary because that's the number of weekends in a year rounded down. It was provided in general terms first because I was replying to someone who was complaining about it showing up in many different stories.
The specifics don't change much here, other than both halves of the couple being adults*, and not knowing where they live other than 2 hours from Tokyo by shinkansen, so something like Nagoya/Sendai/Niigata is about the right distance. Rounding down 3 months to 12 weekends is fine (it's 13 but that changes nothing), which means 12 return trips, or 24 one-way tickets (you can buy return tickets for shinkansen trips but they generally seem to just be listed as the same price as two one-ways).
The fare structure for shinkansen tickets is a bit silly because it includes a base ticket price for taking a train ride at all, then lists surcharges for the shinkansen itself, but round down a current Tokyo-Nagoya/Sendai/Niigata shinkansen one-way ticket and it costs 10k yen. 24 of those is 240k yen.
So how much money does he have? He's a 20yo college student who lives outside of Tokyo and tutors Miu. He's not a full-timer earning something comparable to the national median earning around 1.4M yen in 3 months. Minimum wage in japan varies by industry and prefecture but they're mostly a bit below 1k yen per hour, and nationwide average for part-time work is a painfully low 1.1k yen per hour. So I'll be generous and give him 1.2k/hour, which means those 3 months of weekend trip tickets will cost him 200 hours of pre-tax income - say, 16 hours per week.
But hey, maybe he's working 25 hours a week, maybe even more, maybe only 60% of his paycheck is going towards train tickets! Realistically it's probably manageable if she is making good money and paying most of the way, but it's still a lot of money to be flushing and that's why it's not unrealistic that the characters never mentioned the idea of just constantly visiting her that way.
*not the case for many of the stories the original poster may have been complaining about, highschoolers are going to have an even rougher time affording regular shinkansen rides

I'm not even surprised. 
Time to live as a married couple I guess.

Ayako cussing is most unexpected. Usually, she is extremely seiso.
