Yeah, I was also assuming she was taking a new angle for her mercantile ways. Around when she started talking about her mother I realized 'Oh, this is probably legit' because it was just too banal in the details for someone trying to wring sympathy, but very real, and no less awful. No wonder she's trying to get rich quick, with that sort of background.

What's with the club they went to at the end for help? "Karites sans Frontieres"? I know it's an MSF reference but I can't figure out what the first word is supposed to be (presumably not literally karate lol) and why. Did this come up earlier in the manga and I'm forgetting?

It's French lol

It's "Charité sans frontières"

And this school is drowning in too many clubs, our couple decided to either trim the superfluous ones or help the legitimate ones consolidate their activities so the subculture club escapes the chopping block.

Ahhh I don't think I would have ever been able to guess that one lol. Thanks :)
