After Watching or reading Naruto for years i decided for a change so i watched the bleach Anime series and i realised something, all succesful shounen manga or anime have almost the same guidelines.

Rule 1:must have a hot headed teenage boy who will never give up (Naruto and Ichigo)

Rule 2: must have a violent girl (sakura and rukia)

Rule 3: Must have kickass music! (lol)

Rule 4: Must have a girl who secretly loves the main character but is too shy to say so (Hinata and Inoue)

Rule 5:At least one of the main characters parents must be dead

Before i get flamed like a turkey at thanksgiving, let me say one more thing,i cant be bothered to read any other shounen manga other than Naruto and Bleach so if i'm wrong,

























*Runs off*

Yeah..This is also the same for One Piece. FMA too, sorta. I caan't remember others form the top of my head really...
But I guess that's sort of a general rule or trend. Or else a cool, calm lead with some wack talent for something. I guess...

Yep, noticed it many times ago lol.

Then again, you read fantasy novels, they all run similarly in line

You read sci fi novels, they all run similarly in line

Everything has a trend, manga/anime certainly appears to follow a rather narrow line just like every other genre.
