I can't shake the feeling that you're letting a certain amount of, shall we say delicately, personal bias seep in here.

Bias? What bias? I have no idea what you're talking about

Hanako:

Jesus Christ, what if she just led his parents to their grave and said nothing?

Neko: His parents realize he's dating a Yakuza princess after meeting Sally, and avoid both forever thereafter. They probably wouldn't realize anything is strange if they met Sam, but he's rarely in Japan. They wouldn't have time to find out Neko inherited bisexuality from her father, and her polyamory from both of them.

(This is not a spoiler, because they're not going to meet. He's going to make damn sure of that.)

Read his stories, then you'll get it. Neko's an OC.

Hey, it's not like Mr. and Mrs. Nakai get much characterization. Maybe they're big fans of abstract art. (That'd be a fun thing to work into a Rin-centric fanfic, come to think of it...)

At least Hanako I fun to look at

On that, we agree. Although for entirely different reasons, I suspect.

Shizune: utter disaster
Hanako:

You mean Hanako shows up to Hisao's parents dressed as batman, and when asked why she goes:

MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEEEAAAAADD

Class reps are not part of the student council, if I am to clarify. They are called occassionally for report on the class, based on teacher's feedback concerning the students behavior and attendance. Members of student council are usually the president, vice-president, accountant, secretary; these four are the core. It can expand, but not limited to broadcast officer (the one responsible for school-wide speaker), club organizer, newspaper, etc; most of the time, these are merged into the core-four for efficiency.

Lilly
I wouldn't say she was disliked by Hisao's parents because of him having a heart attack chasing him, after all, it's not exactly like it's her fault his heart had a seizure.
I'd probably say they weren't too keen on her because she decided to up-sticks and bugger off to Haggistown with seemingly no warning.

To be honest, if Hisao's parents heard what they did together (I'm talking about all the girls), they'd probably lose their heads and push Hisao to take responsibility.

Lilly would probably have it the hardest though. Not only there is that, but there is also a certain view 'set' concerning westerners. When my younger sister had one (a westerner), my parents warned her about disowning her if she go as far as doing you-know-what. Not all, but most are.

They broke up about a week after when I visited her apartment and found him trying to force his way and her at a loss for words. Sure forced my shinai up his ass and settled it

Very honorable

Also, please tell me you meant an actual shinai and that's not a euphemism.

An actual shinai. I am dan 2, thank you very much

Shoving it up his ass is euphemism
She's lucky I was around at the time though

Don't know what would happen otherwise (^_^)a

Always a pleasure to read your expounding.

Isn't this racist and/or denying her agency as a person?

No, it's providing useful advice; intercultural relationships can be tough. Also, depends on whether age of consent and/or age of parental independence have been reached, no? She can have agency by resisting her parents and being disowned. Please. This is what some of us mean when we invoke the false consciousness of 'universal values'. After all, in every society, parents say this sort of thing, whether we like it or not. The logical ad absurdam is to assert that all attempts to order the world beyond yourself are denials of someone else's agency.

It's a set-mentality, rooted deep in a culture to which I strongly am in favor of. There's usually a period in most of us that stands against that idea, but after learning a bit more and maturing, most of us tend to agree that it's there for a good reason and is content with it.

You'll be hard-pressed to get married here if you did the do before time. Hentai is there for a reason--it's fictional, imagination. Fantasy.

if I could share a bit about my family, we are pretty traditional in a sense--she is against that idea as well, which gave me the opportunity to play whack-a-western when he aimed for that funny business. If she consented to it, I might still do the whack-a-western then proceed to imouto beatdown. Might. She knows karate, but is too timid.

Sometimes I think we have too much respect for the west it's degrading--but that's just me.

Actually, I think the last page or two has veered away from headcanon into real life, so it'll probably be culled...

Maybe

So, to get back on track...

Parents meet parents was the last one, was it?

I can agree with most, but Lilly's parents. The conclusion on her 'good' ending would send beeping signals to Hisao's parents to question their son's decision. I'd imagine meeting Shizune's parent would give similar results--namely Hisao's parents questioning the sanity of his girlfriend's father

Rin's parents would be interesting to look at, but we never knew much. Worth looking her psyche to make an educated guess on what their relationship is like.

Emi's would be the most normal one--until Nurse shows up.
"Hi, I'm the nurse. I'm Emi's would-be step-father, her doctor, and the man keeping your son alive when his attempt at exercising resulted in an unintentional suicide "

"..."

That would be interesting to see

Hanako's...
Unless we go the yandere-Hanako route, there's no chance they're meeting them unless yandere-Hanako provides the assistance with gasoline and a matchstick.

And now I just developed headcanon of a second bad ending for Emi's route... during their second time together. Choice point to push harder towards completion, or just to take it easy.

If Hisao pushes harder, he HNNNGGGGGs.

Emi finds her phone and calls Nurse, who figures out what happened despite her best attempts to cover things up. "Rectum? You damn near killed 'im!"
