So I was curious and read the novel this manga was based on. It's pretty short, less than twenty chapters. So as far as character growth goes, Cheryl (the female lead) has barely started her healing journey by the time the novel closes.
Which means that the manga basically HAS to add scenes like the kitchen fire, because "My father is pushing matches as a business product to a ridiculous degree, despite its inherit dangers" only comes up as dialogue TWICE in the novel itself.
I don't know that I actually like the change, but as I said before, it's a short novel. They clearly had to do something. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
