Not a fan of this 'resolution'

It's too cheap/easy and it's basically the non-combat version of every action series' "our fight is a battle of willpowers so the person with the most conviction/resolve/will is going to be the winner in the physical fight and the other person then immediately admits defeat, acts as if their whole worldview is invalidated, and slinks off as if that's enough and their actions have been appropriately answered."

like seriously, Yuuki just spouts a bunch of "I won't give up, I'll protect her and find a way through this no matter what!" cliches and then Kotori tells her dad she won't back down and let this happen and he just... stops and leaves.

What should've happened after the punch and the dad's threats is the "look at the monster you've become." speech. Point out the horror of him turning his hand on his daughter for selfish, misdirected, and ultimately trivial reasons. Point out the hypocrisy of him defending the fact that he's abusing his child (which he explicitly admits to in this chapter so he presumably knows what he's doing and isn't cradling it in euphemisms like "disciplining" or "protecting" or anything of the sort) by threatening to destroy the life of someone standing up for a person they care about. Have Kotori spill her heart out at him about how she was just trying to get him to smile/be happy after her mom died and that his whole victim-blaming act is total BS. And then have this all be a giant stall so that the police arrive and can arrest him since they will enter to find an angry, raging dad facing off with a daughter who is obviously injured while Yuuki stands in front, protecting her.

But instead of him facing real consequences for his actions the spoiler stuff makes it seem like we're going for standard trite cliche manga storytelling which is:

He loses the "battle of wills" I described above, walks out defeated, karmically gets into another fight that lands him in trouble so that he's punished without having to raise the spectre of the stigma of domestic violence on Kotori (because the most important thing is that we have to preserve her pure virginal, unspoiled aura by not allowing people to know that her dad was a scumbag who hit her for selfish reasons), and ultimately leads to completely unearned reptentance and likely ultiamtely forgiveness from Yuuki and Kotori because that's the Japanese thing to do even if it's emotionally/morally unsatisfying.

and don't get me wrong, I'm also against going so far in the opposite direction where people suggested Yuuki beats the hell out of the dad or he gets killed/commits suicide as the karmic payback. I think that's excessive for a story that is still supposed to have threads of positivity/upbeat attitude that it has to go back to after this mini-arc. But I detest the whole combination of "the stronger will wins" and "defeat means friendship/forgiveness" that happens way too often.

seriously, take this story and swap Yuuki for Goku, the dad for Vegeta, and basically any other character for Kotori and replace the physical fights with Yuki's defiant words of not giving up and you've got the opening arc of DBZ.

Man... don't kill yourself just because your daughter finally has the courage to finally talk back at you, no, I want you to live the rest of your life in a prison cell alone all the while thinking of how much of a Piece of shit you are as a parent.
Not only that. If she starts to heal and then her PoS father kills himself, the way she might rebound could be pretty horrible.

He almost gets stabbed but ends up being the one who stabs another so he gets sent to jail along that, this is when he gets into a fight with some street boys in the street after he got mind blown in this very chapter…
Ooooh gotcha gotcha

The bruises are sure misleading...
Well, he could snap and do things as you say, I just meant he may be pathetic and just ran out of the house, since what his daughter said encouraged by her boyfriend who is better than the pathetic him seemed to hit him finally even if momentary, that something…

Gentlemen, relax! If you check tags, you will see that this is an adaptation. Overly long title also hints that the source is most propably a LN. And these things are not blessed with realistic plots. What's more, we have a "X happened and now a JK girl lives at my place" LN. It's almost inevitable to have all drama and characters being childish-cartoonish.

But whatever.
It all ends well if there is no DHL

Japan is afraid of children fighting back abuse so they make this cowardly approach. Children's minds should be taught to fight back not shounen manga so that they would not be bullied or ass raped.

This is the reason this series got the axe:

Kid of a janitor lady from the 1st to a 4th grade did anything from trashing my backpack, tearing my notebooks, pushing me around, once him and his friends put my right hand between door frame and slam it shut, dislocating my fingers a bit till this day.

Retaliated by punching him, cutting his lip, got suspended and expelled. Couldn't get into another school without my psychiatric evaluation and had to ride 45min to another 7km away, sucks because old one was 5min in foot... :/

Parents and teachers should be taught how to react to their sociopathic monsters, we're not there to fix their mistakes.

WHY ARE YOU PUNISHED FOR BULLYING??? TF IS THE POWER OF THE JANITOR LADY??? DID ALL THE PRINCIPALS CUM DUMP HER???

I guess mine is a rare case, I punched a nose broke his nose it bled and got away scott free. I accidentally taunted a teacher who is actually a Yakuza (well, a local equivalent) in disguise.

You cannot rely on mommy all the time, or their mommies. In this world, it seems that once you rely on mom, u will not be a real man. It is a duty to protect mom's dignity and not let her get cucked, like what happened to that janitor lady.

"An abused classmate is now my sleeve."
- I don't sell ####.

"I FIXED HER."
- much better $$$

Ikr what if he comes back with a knife school days-style

IRL do abusive fathers do that? If so, I should always bring a gun.

FIGHT THE GUN BAN WITH GUNS! IF THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO TAKE GUNS I'LL USE THIS AS EXAMPLE - AFTER ALL MY LIFE IS MINE NOT THE GOVERNMENTS.

In the old days, be it China, Europe or Japan, men always carry swords and those who carry kitchen knives ( e.g. assassins ) are called cowards or dogs. Eunuchs even, because that is the size of their manliness.

Dunno, lol. I ask myself when having can't hold pen for too long.
They're together there in the school perhaps, school I was transferred to had a girl in my class who's mom were history teacher, she was pampered by other teachers as well to her annoyance.
Probably, dude got away with all sorts of things, not just me, like stealing kids things and dumping to trash.

Probably were lucky my dude, from other perspective you just punched a kid.

It's not relying, once you have a kid, you're actually there to look out for it, not other people to raise it right.
