I probably wouldn't fall for a person that blackmailed me either, but weirder things have happened in anime, imo.
I think on a deeper level, about the tone of the setting and/or theme, I don't do things like saying "well something like this or that happened in some other show."

For example, often times in shoujo shows a slap to the face is something pretty serious (from what I've seen, which is not many) since the relationships there are meant to be portrayed as close to reality as possible. But compared to something like To Love Ru, getting punched up into the sky, getting stomped on the ground, etc. is the norm there, so the viewer really isn't suppose to think nothing of it.

To me, this show is still setting up what it wants to be. Slice of life? Comedy? Romance? A bunch of fun and games? And how much of each? So for now I have to take a neutral opinion and relate it to real life.
