can anyone animate these Kekkaishi bases for me?

      

Out of curiosity, for anyone who reads/watches both, does Tokine make anyone else think a little bit of Sakura in Naruto, only  without the early crushing and shallowness, and without being sidelined so much?  (So far, at least...)  I'm not sure why I think that, but I keep thinking it.

Fullmetal Alchemist. Also very, very good.

shonen/shounen-boys' manga
shojo/shoujo-girls' manga

And yes. The annoyance of Naruto himself and the obsession with Sasuke by the entire cast are a large part of what made me lose interest. There was also the fact that exactly one character in the whole thing had actually displayed a good bit of character growth, and it was Sakura, who not only seemed to be hated primarily FOR that character growth, but was also generally not treateds well in the manga. (I do think, though, that a lot of mangaka are in a bit of a catch 22-they want important female characters, but most of the audience tends to be boys who just want guys fighting and girl to to talk about how cool they are, and girls who view the female characters as necessary evils to be tolerated in getting the boys. The compromise is to create good female characters but sideline them or make them weaker, which just ends up giving fans a better excuse to dismiss them.)
