This looks nice and cute on you, let me buy it for you as a gift.
Oh, I can’t simply accept such kindness.
Then let’s do it this way. I buy this as a gift for you and you buy something for me as a gift!
Agree, let’s do it!
Kanta.
Ah?
Here’s my present for you…


“What do you think? I believe it fits you well!”

(The price is about the same, but…I don’t wear sport shirt normally… would it suits me?)

Actually, it looks pretty nice but gently caress you!

Also, those are called polo shirts in America. Dunno if that's consistent in other English-speaking nations.

On that note, the first thing the guy does is note its price. Really man? Kanta is pretty much a terrible person, through and through at this point.

If we're being charitable, I think he was just checking to make sure she didn't buy him something super-expensive, since the thing he bought her didn't cost that much.

:japan: It's time to learn about foreign cultures! :japan:

In Japan, there are strict rules around proper gift giving etiquette. Some of the rules pretty basic, such as parties of equal social standing should give gifts of equal worth, or a gift should always be given/received with both hands to show that the two parties are devoting their undivided attention to one another, and anything with writing on it should be given in the orientation that makes it easier for the recipient to read. Sometimes, these rules can lead to weird social situations, like having to use both hands whenever you give/receive a credit card to/from a cashier, and having to double check that said credit card is facing the right way every single god drat time you take it out of your wallet. By checking the price tag, the game is telling the player that the woman feels that their relationship is based on mutual friendship and respect. Another big part of Japanese gift giving etiquette is that you should always refuse a gift at least once, to show that you do not want to dirty a relationship with material things.

Of course, this particular lesson is probably trying to teach stuck up nerds to use modern and informal manners and that only old ladies and politicians follow old fashioned rules, but gently caress voting correctly.

Don't forget the language used in each option. "I'd feel embarrassed" would be a kind way to do a refusal-oh-fine-you-talked-me-into-it, whereas "this shirt sucks" is an outright insult.

Oops, I read through the choices quickly before looking at everyone's votes. Guess I should read more carefully. Let's refuse to take the shirt anyway, on the grounds that it is the same color as a cheese-it. If it's not cheeto orange, it ain't good enough.
