English second language.

Manga have always been my favorite thought to read. I believe manga it is the only way to let out your imagination....oopppss!

Anyway I wasn't going to talk about that, the point it is, that almost all manga are about teen agers from school, and in love.

For example: Love Hina, about getting to the university from promises. Pita-Ten again about test, chobits that a little different, and awesome, Crazy for Love. Wow! I guess I read to much love/romance novel, even in Angel Sanctuary it is the same thought, and others manga too.

Well why in every manga there have to be suffering for love? Even in Naruto, Demon Diary, Petshop of horror!

Romance is just a very typical part of any story, whether it's manga or otherwise. People often expect to have a least a bit of it, though often it's a focus of the story, if not THE focus.

But it's not in everything. Azumanga Daioh has pretty much no main male characters and thus there is almost no romance, besides a one-sided crush that is there for comedy's sake. It is in the minority however.

Conflict is entertaining, and the author's view on that conflict can turn a romance into a comedy, drama or horror. If all manga romances worked out fairly smoothly, what would be the point in reading them?

They'd be pretty pointless, I agree with you on that one. The thing is that they do give some situations that people do experience in real life, and people can take from that and can occasionaly learn from it. Though things don't always work out the way they do in manga, but that's fiction.

I know, but what I mean that it is to exaggerated. For example, Hot Gimmick it is to much of course love novel. To be honest the romance novels always repeated the conflict over and over and over.

For example in love Hina, Keitaro always think he's not going to pass the test to go to the university, and always run away from Hina. The same though over and over, it get pretty bored.
