how the heck is kakashixiruka even that popular!? wow if japan really liked yaoi that much im surpirsed the shounen mangas havent caved in yet.
Well, Kishimoto has moreso than most. But he's talked about how the vast majority of letters he gets are from girls and women, not boys. We have Orochimaru and Kabuto who are overtly gay, Sai who is fairly assuredly gay, Ones that tend to code as manga "gay"- Yamato, Gai, Jyugo, and ambiguous, but they all had their strongest bond with their greatest male rival and had/have mixed hate with a love that shades into romantic feelings- Madara, Danzo, Sasuke
That's fangirls. Naruto's public is much higher than that and is compound in most for boys, who do not even participate in these polls.
At least that's what I think. ^^'
I think they do, some of the characters who get lots of votes- like Kisame aren't ones that would appeal to yaoi fangirls.
That's not the main reason. The real reason KakaIru is so popular as a yaoi pairing because the two signifies the "Older/Younger" teacher relationship or more sempai and the japanese word that I totally forgot right now for the younger person. Ciardha has a very better detail about this situation, so ask her.
Kohai. But no, KakaIru is more seme/uke, while Kakashi/Yamato would be sempai/kohai.
You mean the one that highlights Sasuke as some type of demonic monster, and that makes her look like shes about to toss her cookies?
Seriously, treating that as a prosasusaku image is pushing things beyond the realm of sanity. Thinking of Sasuke makes her feel ill and depressed- "ooh it's trw luv..."
