Yikes....is that so?
I am not a fan of slice of life in general ....there are many students who don't have parents in Kyou kara ore wa(and it's supposed to be a comedy series), Komatta Tokinawa

Most of the time there’s no debate that their parents exist, because they’re both shown, or the other most common one is that they’re just never shown, but the focus is on the kids, and their teacher(s) are the only adults they interact with. Like with K-on, the only prominent adult is Sawako.
Other times their mom is shown, but never their dad, so he’s probably just at work all the time, because Japanese salaryman stuff, and the mom’s probably a housewife. If they show the dad, but not the mom, she’s either probably dead, or they’re separated, but it’s rarely ever brought up. Like I don’t remember what’s up with Konata’s mom in Lucky Star, but her dad’s definitely there.
