U got a point but remember his parents were poor n the father could easily pay after all he is rich, as 4 shuuichi he was just a little kid again if ask 4 help his father had 2 much money n power 2 control other after all at the beginning of the manga it say so that ppl knew but nothing can be done
That's what we would all do. Makoto's parents wouldn't/couldn't because of lame Japanese concepts called "honor" and "shame" that they take so damn seriously, they'd do ludicrous things. Manga just inflates it even more.
I get that Shuuichi wanted to gain power/money himself to free Makoto, but he should have taken evidence (pics, etc.) of his dad being a pedo, and gotten him arrested; I mean no matter how much money/influence his dad has he'd still go to jail. And Makoto's parents could have done the same and blackmail the guy outta their debt.
