3 slot = 180k JPY = ~1400 usd

Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't have established she gets married and just made it a story about the daily life of a prostitute.
Well she's supposed to be a hooker with a heart of gold. One will who have a larger body count than her future husband could ever dream of.
Obviously, because you're clearly self-inserting as the future husband given how much you keep focusing on a character that at this point left the story for about the same number of chapters he was originally in.
You realize that An, Kanzaki, Momoka, Sayuri, and Ken all had about the same number of chapters dedicated to them right? It's a story about Honoka at the centre and all the people he meets going through this journey, not a story about Kakeru who's just one of those persons and for the moment is not in the story but might come back, just like Momoka and Kanzaki did.
