Kishi's idea of Romance. Is it a cultural thing?

Why does Kishi keep making Sakura focus on Sasuke even in the most dire of situations?

Clearly none of the fans on this base, nor the other forums find it ok.

I wonder if it's acceptable in Japan. What do they think of Sakura there?

I hear Sakura is a very well received character in japan.

I'm a fan, I was proud of her for charging in and not being afraid. I was proud of her for putting her life on the line as a diversion for Naruto and Sasuke to attack Madara. But how is Sasuke caring a main concern :|

In chapter 675 Kakashi pointed out the Sakura's goal was to try and save Sasuke from the darkness. That she still loved the Sasuke he was before he left Konoha. Also note that when Sai asked Sakura if Sasuke could be trusted, she gave him a fake smile. She also questioned Sasuke's true motives regarding his wishes to be Hokage.

Her sadness was not because he didn't notice her, but because he didn't seem to care his teammate was in danger. By not caring about her safety or Naruto's, it means he has still broken their bonds and her concerns are being proven true.

However that's her POV. Fact is he did react but she didn't see it, so she is trusting him less now.

She's just being a woman. How can you expect a man out of a woman? Her strength is masculine enough already. This makes us remember she is still a woman U_U

Awesome sakura U_U

I think sasuke was actually pissed he couldn't do jack after sakura got stabbed. He needs to revenge for sakura U_U

Sasuke actually acted before naruto did

Japan has a word for Sakura's infatuation with Sasuke

it's called kataomoi - a one-sided love

It could be cultural, or it could be the demographic that the manga is aimed at. Even though Sakura does not have the power that Naruto and Sasuke do, she doesn't hesitate to do what she can do. I was glad for her courage I'm this chapter.
