First, I'd like to say hello to the community because this is my first comment after lurking for about a year and a half. But besides that, I'd like to ask why other people think that Ken Akamatsu's reasons for making a very... strong-willed character as the leading female in both Love Hina and Mahou Sensei Negima.This isn't to say though that Naru and Asuna are the same character,because Asuna is much more likable in my opinion, and she has at least shown good qualities consistently in the manga. I have three basic ideas, but I always like to hear other's opinions, and since I have no friends that really read a large amount of manga, I believe that this is the best place to ask this. My idea's are as followed (I know that this isn't the best way to add the ideas, but for the moment it's the only way I could think of.)
Idea #1-The idea of a strong female is a common occurrence in many other mangas. Although I should be able to come up with examples, I'm running a blank for now.
Idea#2-For Negima, Ken Akamatsu might have seen that a character like Naru was well liked or easy to use in certain story lines that he had in mind.
Idea#3-From a psychological perspective, Ken Akamatsu might have had very strong females in his life from an early age, and this could be seen in his writings now. Although this is probably my most out there idea, it is still a semi-viable idea.
Note: If you believe that this topic doesn't belong here, I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure it should be in a talk section, but I'm not sure if it should be in the Love Hina section or the Negima section. If believed that it shouldn't be here, then please just say so.Also, if this idea is already out there please inform me.
