Hi, your comment about Subaru made me laugh because it's very spot on, although to be honest all those reasons are why I like that story.

I wouldn't compare it to the Hikaru no go, Eyeshield 21, Glass Mask. For me Subaru is less about coming of age and more about having an obsession. The manga itself has something of the delirious grandiose of old "manly" manga. You are right about other characters not being developed at all, but it's almost like viewing things through Subaru's narrow POV. I think Subaru is a tragic heroine not because of her past, but because of her obsession, as long as she is obsessed she won't evolve as a person and as long as she has her obsession she doesn't need anyone. Subaru is more of Tsukikage than Maya. I wonder what will happen when/if she achieves her goal and if the author will dare to let Subaru burn in flames, so to speak, but I also think that the time of such stories has passed.

Anyway, you wondered why it has so high rating and I thought at least tell you why I rated it so, can't speak for others, of course.
