It's a fictional comical set up. No, Japan doesn't have that kind of law. Is it just me or is the IQ of dynastyreader users gradually dropping? Above comments are similar. It's a ridculous set up but it's fictional. It's meant to entertain by setting up a plot that's not realistic. Either like it or don't. Just wow. I guess this forum isn't different from other internet forums. The average IQ is quite low.
Actually, this sort of thing IS possible. Just not on the "legit" side of things. I was watching a documentary of a yakuza woman who at the age of 15, 16? was basically sold by her father ( he was a high-ranking officer that borrowed and his investments didn't pay off ) for 3 years to some other head guy and he would "forgive" her parents debt.
If your debt is owe to some very bad people that are willing to do things beyond the scope of the law, you might actually be in such troubles.
Now I'm not saying that this is the case here or in most cases in which involves this cliché plot development. But these things can happen and you see the big bad enforcers knocking down on people's door... sometimes.
This is in a shounen magazine so it isn't "yuri" yuri, and will probably be a lot of comedy. I'd advise everyone not to get their hopes up about this and not treat this too seriously.
