** In Chapter 14, Yancy ends up meeting Nate's mom for the first time the morning after Yancy and Nate have had TheirFirstTime. Naturally, the meeting is awkward at first, no thanks to Yancy being nude and in bed together with Nate. Thankfully for both of them, Mrs. Kyouhei is pretty chill, and comes to like Yancy immediately after finding out about her story.

** Chapter 17 has Nate being formally introduced to Yancy's parents. Thankfully, this meeting is cordial and not awkward.
