If that was the case he wouldn’t have given up on going to the US with his gf when the relationship was going smoothly.There's a good chance her uncle is just the after-school hangout, and she spends every dinner/night with her folks. If there's nothing interesting there we won't see them until later though.
Chapter 8 heavily implies she does in fact live with her parents and does not live with Uncle Joe.He had to stay precisely because there wasn’t anyone else to raise Mitsuki (a.k.a her parents are gone)
Except her bedroom is upstairs, above the shop.There's a good chance her uncle is just the after-school hangout, and she spends every dinner/night with her folks. If there's nothing interesting there we won't see them until later though.
Are you referring to the line "I'm home...not like anyone cares..."?Chapter 8 heavily implies she does in fact live with her parents and does not live with Uncle Joe.
Because otherwise she lives alone which wouldn't make sense when Joe would obviously let her live with him.
So the likely explanation is that she said "I'm home" to an empty place because Joe was still at work.Are you referring to the line "I'm home...not like anyone cares..."?
Because that line isn't refering to neglection at home. The original line「ただいま〜…っと」has no such implication. It's just her saying "I'm home" with an added sentence-ending particle indicating that shes having a monologue.
But didn't Joe "try his hardest to not listen in" when Aya broke into her house in chapter 38? So I thought she lives with him?Yeah, the first page of chapter 8 when she comes home she makes it seem like no one cares if she is there or not(though could be normal teenage "no one cares" thoughts), which wouldnt make sense if its Joe's since she knows he cares.
So she does at least live with her parents.
It's like how weebs want to live and work in Japan, I guess?Like I said, I would also choose Mitsuki,
Plus, I really don't understand and don't sympathize at all with this fascination for murrica.
It's a delusion, any musician serious enough will try make success in any place, first at all in his own country.
