I'm pretty bad at following story lines and the way the manga lays it out kind of confused me. From what I understand, they got in trouble for something... and hush money was given? They're both in debt? Could someone be as kind as to summarize what happened?
I'll try my best to summarize it...
> Kikuchi (the one w/tattoos) and that lady-friend illegally pocketed money that rightfully belonged to the casino called "Paradise" that they were working at.
> Shintani found out and Kikuchi wanted to give him hush money to keep him quiet, but he didn't want it and he didn't nark them out anyway.
> Sudou, who is in charge of the Casino (which is owned by the Yakuza [basically the Japanese mafia]), finds them out; unfortunately, Shintani is there when Kikuchi is exploiting Sudou, and thus he's considered an "accomplice".
> Kikuchi is now in debt to the Yakuza but has nowhere to live, so Shintani has him stay at his place because he's worried for him. Kikuchi keeps coming back late, cries, has nightmares, and/or has torture marks/burns on him because he has to sell his body in order to make enough money to pay the Yakuza on time.
> Shintani notices and doesn't like it, so he becomes protective of him and asks Sudou to lighten the load, which Sudou refuses; however, he gives Shintani the option to take the debt upon himself.
> Shintani ends up agreeing, as well as taking up Sudou's offer to go on date(s) with him for cash. Sudou pays him to go on these dates, and ends up taking Shintani back to his house which is where the Yakuza resides and sleeping with him. One of the Yakuza (the one with the gun) ends up seeing them together and gives Sudou the gun.
> Later, Shintani asks Sudou if his and Kikuchi's payments are getting recorded, which Sudou says *his* are, but that Saji's taking care of recording Kikuchi's portion. Shintani goes to Saji to try and find out what Kikuchi is doing for cash, but Saji supposedly doesn't know either; however, he does know about Shintani and Sudou, and warns him about Sudou whilst informing him that Kikuchi won't back away from whatever's earning him money because he's "nursing an un-requited love for him" (because if he stops earning an adequate amount of money, Shintani could be in trouble, too).
> When Shintani goes home late to find Kikuchi waiting up for him, he struggles to fall asleep knowing Kikuchi's true feelings and remembering how he was turned on treating Sudou harshly.
It would seem that he's starting to love Kikuchi but he may also have feelings for Sudou as well (which pisses me off tbh but I digress).
I absolutely love manga! I love how it teaches me so many new things: like how I found out boob gun holsters... were actually a thing. I guffawed and called bullshit when I saw the CIA girl pull a gun from her bra holster hybrid, then I googled it and found out that it's... 100% real.

Okay, let's be real here. In what kind of high school does some random guy in the same school just looks at you when you're taking a leak at the urinal... THEN GRABS YOUR PENOR! With PEE ON IT.
That part literally killed me. Plot device shall plot device. Hilarious you were.
Considering we got a POTUS who got away with grabbing women's pussy and then there was a rash of attacks just like in public...
I completely believe it. Self-centered guys who think they are god's gift to women/men will assault anyone and think they weren't saying no they were just playing hard to get. That they wanted them to do it.
Hell, look at Bill O'Reilly and his sexual harassment lawsuits or even Ailes.
Just because the victim is a male here doesn't mean the methodology and narcissism is not the same.
The same schools that saw an increase of racist bullying 'build the wall' 'trump's America' also saw increased sexual harassment towards girls.

The SPLC's Teaching Tolerance project, which examines the environment in schools, surveyed 10,000 teachers immediately after the election and found that about a fourth reported fights, threats, assaults and other incidents that could be traced directly to election rhetoric. Examples include African-American children being told to "go to the back of the bus," Hispanics taunted with the prediction that Trump would "send them back" to Mexico or "over a wall." Teachers also reported increased sexual harassment of girls, including more pervasive use of the word "pussy," which Trump infamously used when bragging on a video disclosed during the election that he could "grab" women's genitalia without consequence because of his fame.











Azumi's smart. She'll figure something out. Maybe she'll move the position of the sword so it cuts Naka's restraints. Then Naka'll untie her, and she'll slice those damned twins up. Oh a girl can dream!
