While I get where you're coming from, I fail to see how caring about your family first means not to care about anyone else at all.

If this anime has a "buttmonkey", it's Shouma.  |
Shouma is definitely the buttmonkey, yeah, but Ringo has been made fun of quite a bit too. It's only Kanba, IMO, who is mostly depicted in a positive fashion despite his flaws.

I do think you're onto something here, and yeah, if what I've seen so far truly reflects Ikuhara's overall message then I definitely don't agree with it.
