you're right yukisuke.

theres much more anger, violence, crying, etc, than one would normaly see in real life. its harder to pin down accurate representations of japanese life in manga until youre actually here.

you can say that manga displays the truer feelings, etc, but at the same time, it is entertainment, so there is only so much you should take, unless you have the ability to read between the lines like no one else.

think of it this way,.... if i asked " i am going to california and i want to know how true the lifestyle portrayed in melrose place is?" or "i'm going to middle america, how much like smallville is it?" or "i'm going to NYC, how soon after i land do you think i will be mugged or murdered?"

see what i mean?
