Mai became base-breaking or even hated character in the comics. They see her as unlikable hypocrite, in Promise she broke with Zuko due to him keeping secrets, but in Smoke and Shadow she herself had secrets. It's not Japanese honor, but more being conflicted about family and ex-boyfriend. Mai's father wasn't as abusive as Zuko's, so she was more fond to her dad than Zuko to his. Zuko wasn't just her ex, he was the ruler now. He admitted his mistakes and learned from them, Mai indeed got too much scott free. Maybe if she were punished, she would see her wrongs and learn something.

Speaking of Japanese sense of honor about family, Lincoln would be hated in Japan for his individualism, he would be considered more selfish than he already is in the West. Asians think family is more important than individual happiness, but compare to West, they think about it up to 11.
