Other than those two you can barely see female characters in the manga. So what I am saying is that I am liking this manga the way as it is now. Since it doesn't matter how it does on western counties I think the popularity of show in the Japan is enough to make it it's name well-known through western countries.

I understand that it is very popular in Japan. I also understand why western taste does not matter to the series creator. I just wish it would do something that would make it a little more popular for the western side, since there is not much I can discuss with here. Most people I know haven't seen it, and the girls refuse to see it.
Add on top of the character issues, it also lacks the emotional impacts that the other shounen series have. I guess this show is more to watch just for the fun of it, and it does not relate to the viewer as much.
It does have interesting ideas; hence, I watch it weekly. I just wish there were more to it, so I can at least discuss it with people. As it stands, this thread lacks discussion as well.
