Sorry, i meant to upvote. I was also wondering the same thing.
I was like ‘wot’ n tried dissecting the scene and the girl says ‘they said lets go to the second place’ (something along the lines with that) so that made me think theres people other than them so maybe work dinner or a social gathering or something?? Idk it still kinda irked me that he said ‘not today’ maybe it was a translation issue. I honestly didnt care much about akira sleeping around cuz he and kaho werent together together but like didnt they technically confess to eachother in chap 18 (well she confessed n he didnt want her to leave him..) so like thats kinda ugh sad but this is fictional so oh well. Gotta see wat he does in the next couple chaps ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I kinda expected Akira to, idk, be more serious about Kaho. Like even if it was a work gathering or get together, it just irks me how he lets a girl, who is clearly flirting, to get all over him like that when he is already dating someone. But you're right, this is fiction (still pisses me off tho lol)
Yeaa the boundaries right.. It did slightly put me off. Best case is that they properly establish a relationship then he sets boundaries with other girls or like i kinda want kaho to see the flirty thing happen and akira reevaluating his actions etc ya know but then again would they establish the relationship? Not sure tbh hope they do but they do hav a chill not so great boundary type of relationship which can only be okay in a fictional setting but yeaaaa
wait i thought they started going out so why is he still meeting other girls at bars???
