* [[Abusive Parents]] <- -> [[Parents as People]]: Prof. Yumi suffers from this. Though he does care for her, [[Parental Neglect|throughout the series he rather neglected Sayaka]]. It was obvious his family was less important to him than his career, and often he was absent when her daughter needed him. Likewise, his niece Yuri is a conceited, cranky, brat, and he explains that is cause her parents never have time for her. YMMV if this is caused by the huge number of problems that is caused by Doctor Hell, [[Married to the Job|forcing him to work harder -- and likely much harder than he may have wanted.]] |
