Aw I love that Sakura panel! Momma love! I'm just going to focus on Sarada and Sakura's mother daughter relationship. This is really the only mother daughter relationship we've gotten to see in the Manga. I just still love Sakura, I can't help it. The amount of hate I have for Kishi (for trying to ruin her character) is overridden by my absolute love of what I see as her premise. The only "normal" one of the team and she still manages to kick ass. *shrugs* I did not think I'd be reading anymore Naruto, that is for sure.

Just wanted to say Destiny ,I love your avatar. Hey Arnold is great. Love Helga and Arnold together.


Thank you! Always happy to see fellow hey Arnold fans out there! My most favorite TV show off all time! I'll be cuddled up watching the hey Arnold Christmas special all season long =) (and I'll cry 3/4th of the time ;) )

sorry for the rude response, but the woman idea was so absurd that i couldn't help myself. ino, rin (unfortunately), and tsunade (arguably) are some examples of women who moved on.


No worries, I think you were only rude because you misinterpreted what I was asking. I don't watch Japanese live action and the shounen I've read and watched seems to follow a pattern. I was just curious if anyone has any insight on the culture that may have brought that about. Thanks for the response.

i don't have to be japanese.. hell i don't even have to be a woman to know that's utter bullsh**. the japanese are not aliens.
 
i think 鸣人 (naruto's name in chinese) doesn't sound very attractive so they used 火影忍者 


I'm not saying that they are aliens, but that some times values are different in other cultures.

And whoever was saying gossip girl and buffy don't represent the US I would actually argue that they do... in a way. Not that everyone falls in line with those shows, but what we, in pop culture, place value on.

So I have not taken any classess on Japan or on Japanese culture, so excuse me on this, but is this the kind of culture they have? Women falling in love and staying in love? Is that what is expected? I know there are plenty of strong females in other Mangas but I'm trying to think of a female that has declared her feelings at the beginning and then given up on them at the end. Or maybe it's a culture in the shonen world. I don't know. I'm trying to work through all of this in my head.
