This show deals with overcoming and moving forward. How to deal with everything you've been dealt with in life and how to keep on living. [Spoiler] Rei's parents died when he was young and so he went to live with another family. A shogi family. He ended up being really good at it. Better than his sibling. As a result his sibling ostracize him and criticize him. He only receives his father's love in relation to shogi. It eventually gets so bad that he goes to live on his own. His sister still torments him from time to time, even after he lives on his own. One of the female characters gets bullied; another gets bullied to the point she switches schools. They are eventually able to work through these feeling--all parties, bullied and bullies.

One of the older shogi players who Rei worries over his match with insists on going out to drink with him after the match; in the process he gets extremely drunk, and while that's played for laughs for the most part, Rei's adoptive sister later tells him that the man's wife is divorcing him because of his alcohol and gambling addictions, and the way that he was at the very least emotionally abusive to her and their daughter after losses. None of that is shown on-screen, but Rei's adoptive sister describes the emotional experience in some detail as she maliciously speculates about the man's daughter and how she must feel in order to distress Rei further.

Rei's adoptive sister is shown in a flashback of his, straddling him in his bed while he looks up at her, frozen, seeming distinctly unhappy. While it may not be easily defined as assault, it should definitely be classified as sexual harrassment, given that it is a sexually-charged advance that is unwanted and unreciprocated; her history of violence both physical and verbal toward him and his negative feelings toward her make it near-impossible to read the encounter as consensual. Nothing about that interaction is "normal bed sharing" between siblings. They are not small children, they are clearly adolescent at least, and she is straddling him in his bed.

Rei drank too much alcohol in episode 2 and Akari helps him vomit. He also vomited in episode 14 due to dehydration. It isn’t shown but you can hear him gag.

Rei has quite a few. Also, I think one of the girls has a few. There's also a character who has a stomach disorder due to chronic stress. Many of the shogi players have abstract depictions of anxiety

Depends on what your definition of a fat joke is. There is a character that gets confused for an in-universe version of Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro by a toddler. That's about as close as it gets.
