You know, just once I'd like one of these manga to NOT have the parents change their minds. It's great that they're able to change the parents mind, but just once I'd like a manga to go "No, fuck you, we're getting married anyway. You can either approve and be happy for us, or stay out of our lives." Show characters with a SPINE, none of this "I need their validation" crap. I get that it's a part of Japanese culture, but if your parents are that bent on disapproving of your partner. Dad literally said "You've managed to turn your life around and have a respectable job? Too bad, you still fucked up when you were a kid, we don't need that drama."
