They still have pachinko parlors even way out in the boonies, huh

I guess all pensioners need something to spend their money on

I think she lives in the city and works at a Parlor. Not in the village.

Well even out in the boonies, if there's a shopping center nearby, there's at least one pachinko parlor or mom&pop arcade with pachinko/slot machines.

I'm out in the lesser inaka of Ibaraki Prefecture, and I can at least confirm that of the 30+ rural towns I've either visited or passed nearby on various train lines, not one has lacked a Pachinko parlor within easy walking distance of the station.

Same here, but I was living in Fukuoka. Granted I lived in the city(next to Hakata Station), but I'd travel out to rural areas for tutoring jobs and there would always be either a pachinko parlor, or a small arcade with pachislots.

Japan loves their pseudo-gambling.

Yoshio has no respect for other people's personal space.


You'd think that he'd have learned how to take a punch after all of his time with Hibiki.

They do have the internet, but Machi probably doesn't know how to use to too well. Or Natsu put the child blockers on.

It definitely aired in Japan (or at least the raw episode went online), so I guess it's being delayed for some reason

They let the fire burn just so that Machi could make a determined pose in front of it.

Also, the return of Sexual Harassment!

This series is actually an awareness campaign on the effects of negligent parenting on a child's psyche. Machi's mental age is seriously a couple of years behind.

Okay!

So, I've, like, designed a really sweet attack plan that I'm calling Attack Plan Ded Moroz, like "Deadmau5!"

Negligent? If anything, Natsu is over-protective.

She's being raised by a single parent who is also a bear, have a little understanding

Fwiw, Natsu is pretty responsible as both a bear and a parent. I'd say he might even be smarter than the average parent.

At the very least, he's made sure Machi has never wanted for the bare necessities.

I'd admit Natsu is going a good job but he's more like an old sibling taking the role of care taker and you have to admit that that's bearly a good replacement for actual parents.
