Relationship
The Hachiken family has a complicated relationship at the beginning of the story. Both children have gone through hardship of the pressure Kazumasa brought with his high expectations. All of them seem to have a good relationship with Misako, but it to an extent it looks like Yugo is still nervous around her, likely because he associates her with the high expectations at home. He's surprised multiple times by how caring she is with him: visiting him and offering to pay for him to live in a boarding house off campus.

Shingo dealt with his issues in his own way: appeasing his father's expectations by getting into Tokyo University. While in Tokyo, he ate incredible food and, after being able to identify the ingredients inside a ramen, was taken as an apprentice. Shingo dropped out of college and quickly learned he was a horrible cook, and was began traveling and doing odd jobs until he met his now wife in Russia. Alexandra and Shingo settled down and started doing online tutoring together. Eventually they had a kid (Mugi). Mugi ended up inheriting Kazumasa's serious face, able to do it at will. None of these events were communicated home until after they happened, almost specifically to mess with Kazumasa (as can be seen in the picture above).

The story of the ancestors can be found on the Arcs page.
