I think that the big-eyed obaba type may just be a Japanese cultural trope in general.
I'm also amused by the fact that Balsa and Tanda seem to be able to have complete conversations just by trading glances. An actual marriage would, I think, just be a recognition of the kind of relationship they already have... though the question of whether or not they're already sleeping together is more open.
And, having just finished episode seven... the Yakue are matrilineal. Nice touch.
