The thing on the wall is a Rinnai Tankless Water Heater. They're supposedly popular in smaller homes without room for the traditional tank heaters, and for those looking to save a few bucks on their energy bill.

Well I wouldn't mind doing these dishes day after day.

Should this get the poor tag? I don't really know the character...

I would say almost certainly so, since it's part of her backstory. Do you need to pay to use public baths in Japan?

I'm pretty sure you have to pay in public bath houses. I mean, that's all I've ever seen in manga and anime. And sometimes you can get coupons.

Are there any places where you *don't* have to pay in public bath houses? Especially when they have warm water and aren't just an unheated outdoor pool or lake/river?

Go to Hawaii someday, piespy.

We have public bath houses here? I need to get out more.

you find a loli in your sink, what do you do?

Tankless heaters have uses beyond size and savings, as they also mean you dont run out of hot water, so houses that have more people living in them (and houses with multiple bathrooms) would find them useful as it would mean that showers would not need to be as short.
