Oh, that would be a lot of fun! Except I'd have to pass on the restaurants 8D
Actually in my experience the younger the target audience, the more normal the messages are. Sakura pretty much solves all her own problems, for example. Same with other magical girls. But when you start getting into Sho-Comi or josei territory then suddenly the romantic lead is an asshole and starts sexually assaulting the heroine, who can't do anything. It really bothers me. Another reason to stick to kids' stuff :O
Oh well ^^;
I started reading this old manga Cat's Eye by Hojo Tsukasa and it's SO EIGHTIES it's funny. The main characters do their secret missions in leotards, everyone has big hair and reflective sunglasses and smokes like a chimney... It's a good manga (I can see why Clamp got such a kick out of it) but, lord.
