### Chapter 19

Chapter 19 begins with Masahiro at Asaya’s apartment along with Kensuke. He is torn up about the fight he got into with his mom, but is worried to talk to Kousuke about it. Masahiro can’t figure out what to text Masahiro and instead accidentally ends up in a call with the man. Kousuke asks about Masahiro not feeling well, and Masahiro asks if he is out (which he is, he is at Relax Bar Mary).

Kousuke asks Masahiro what happened, but Masahiro freaks out and instead gives the phone to Kensuke to explain. Kensuke explains to Kousuke that Masahiro got into a fight with his mom and ran away from home. The younger Ohshiba tells Kousuke not to worry before hanging up the phone.

Kousuke isn’t pleased with this and asks Natsuo if he is “that unreliable.” Natsuo tells Kousuke that any further interaction with Masahiro won’t end well, and that Masahiro can’t be saved, that situation is too hard to be fixed. Kousuke gets upset at this and says “I’m not going to give up that easily,” before leaving into the rainy night.

When Kousuke leaves, Natsuo’s jealous intentions are revealed. He admits that he will never allow Kousuke and Masahiro to be together. Kousuke pulls out his book which has a paper of Megumi’s workplace written on it (Mandrake Snack Bar).

The chapter switches back to Asaya’s apartment where Kensuke is wondering if the statement he said to Kousuke was good enough. Masahiro comes out wearing Kensuke’s clothes after showering, and the trio get ready for bed. Asaya senses that Masahiro is lying about (or more like leaving information out deliberately) but Masahiro evades this with that he wasn’t lying, because he did get into a fight with Megumi. Masahiro then asks if Asaya gets scared of loving Ohshiba and proceeds to list the feelings of jealousy. Asaya says he does get scared, and that being in love is hell. He then proceeds to love as he says he can’t sleep next to Kensuke.

The chapter then switches to the friend group at school, Fukushige asking about how they stayed over at Asaya’s (in a not very pleased way). Fukushige acknowledges how parents suck (about Masahiro’s fight with his mom), and Kousuke enters wanting to check on Masahiro and see how he’s doing. Masahiro begins to panic because he knows Kousuke noticed he didn’t have his necklace with his ring on it, and there he must know about what really happened.

Kousuke returns to Relax Bar Mary to speak to Natsuo about what he discovered. He reveals he went to Megumi’s workplace to ask what happened with Masahiro only to see her injured. She explains she got into a fight with her teenage son because she was taking a ring out of the teen’s wallet. How Masahiro used a great amount of force to get back the right and therefore accidentally hurt his mom, and proceeded to continuously apologize for what he had done while helping her with the injury.

Masahiro leaves his friend group to run to Relax Bar Mary where he finds Kousuke and tells him to head home with him.

### Chapter 19.5

Chapter 19.5 is a bonus chapter which features Masahiro looking at women's magazines which have recipes to make for boyfriend/husbands. Masahiro wishes they made magazines on how to please boyfriends that weren't female oriented. He finds one which has statistics and tips on how to sexually please your boyfriend and he takes it more seriously than he should. He tries one of the tips he read on Kousuke, and Kousuke responds by laughing at the action and teasing him.

Masahiro is very embarassed and learns that he shouldn't take everything these magazines say at face value.
