Reminds me of Asuka's mom from Hibike. No hobbies, only test scores. Must be a real pain to deal with...
Interesting. There's a book called "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua or short handedly known as "Tiger Mom" (with a TV show of the same name Tiger Mom based on it ). And it caused controversy basically a philosophical fight between laissez faire parenting and "demanding eastern" parenting.
Asuka Tanaka's tale is sad. I hope Shiho's lot is better.
