But...why?

Parents hitting her, (maybe) sister punching her without saying a word. Talk about a troublesome family

This is the problem with being from a polite culture that respects family. You let people do shit like that instead of telling them where to go.

@Purplelibraryguy I don't know about that. It looks to me like Minami's family isn't so much about traditional Japanese politeness & respect, but more about fear & aggression. Telling them where to shove off might lead straight to a bad ending.

@Markgraf Maybe . . . but if they did escalate and Iori had to call the cops, whose side do you figure the cops would be on--a respectable salarywoman at a normal firm, or a violent lower-class family clearly up to no good?

@Purplelibraryguy it depends on the background of the cops too... they are humans too, sadly, with all the baggage of shittyness. Though probably Japan is not the US.

@mochi No, it doesn't really. The cops are there to defend the respectable against the lower orders. Doesn't much matter who's right. That's true both in Japan and the US and most other places.

@Purplelibraryguy while your choice of words lets me think that you are somewhat trolling here, but my point is that many policemen belong to those "lower orders" you're mentioning... they buy and use illegal drugs, accept bribes, close their eyes... depending on the city area in which you live, calling the cops might actually be worse, or at least simply useless. In this case, they might just shrug it off as parents disciplining their misbehaving child, and let it go on

Welp, I guess that’s a way to abrupty end the romance...though they should’ve just commited and went full-on bad end — with a fight and all.
Nothing is really stopping her from calling the cops after she witnessed a home invasion and domestic abuse. The arguments in the comments seem a bit skewed, but it doesn’t really change the fact that the girl is 18 and shows marks of violence all over her body. I doubt Japan would let something like that fly, even if they have stigmas about “delinquents”

@Gustbk thats only in most western countries in japan they would say is a private family issue only If is true that she is family (also they are fully acknowledge as adults at age of 21), and she doesn't fall on home invasion either, hope to see at least a good ed since it seems a fluffy ending wont be.

@mochi Trolling? Excuse me? No, I'm stating facts. And no, it doesn't matter much what background the cops are from, or whether they take bribes or whatever. The job allows cops to do a whole lot of things . . . to people who don't matter. It does not allow them to take the side of proles against the middle class, or for that matter of the middle class against the rich. A cop may have individual sympathies towards the people whose background he comes from, but he will find that the system he is enmeshed in will not generally let him act on them. Black cops still end up beating up blacks more than whites. Notions about the law treating people equally are fiction. In my city there was a case a while back of a serial murderer, killed dozens of women. If they had been middle class or, horrors, wealthy women there would have been a massive manhunt after just a couple. Since instead it was mostly poor prostitutes, many of them First Nations, the cops refused for years to believe it was even happening, and once they'd been reluctantly pushed into investigating at all they used minimum resources and didn't bother co-ordinating with next door municipalities; it took years more to nail the bastard because they couldn't be bothered. The job of the police, at an informal but very real level, is to act as the sharp end of enforcement of class divisions. They police the poor with brutality, the respectable middle class with boredom, and the rich with deference. Lately in the US the stratum of people who get the brutality is drifting upwards as the whole society gets more violent and militarized, but they still kowtow to the rich. Your picture of how things work is naive.
