Happy 1,000 posts Blastaar.
Aww, shucks, thanks. Most of them have been pretty happy, too. At least for me. xD
To bring it on topic (and only touching on the legal thing in the context of the story, Nez, I swear):
If Minami really is 18 as she claimed, the issue for her age would not be sexual consent but financial independence. Although the law in Japan is slated to change in 2022, I believe that right now you need to be 20 years old to sign leases, contracts, etc. (even for cell phones or to buy a car) without parental permission.
This would limit Iori's options for any kind of official intervention on Minami's behalf (short of an actual child abuse charge). I can just see her steeling herself to find Minami only to have the (horrible) parents tell her to get lost.
