\\\"You claim so, and yet when I look at the Korean versions of the profiles...they\\\'re different from the English ones (and neither one of them claim that she\\\'s romantically involved with Sesshomaru in any way). \\\"

It\\\'s written by a JAPANESE PERSON NOT A KOREAN. I don\\\'t know why this has no bearing or means nothing to people when it has to do with Manga.

If I wrote a story in my own language of English, based on the culture of MY country that takes place in my country in the past it would be in that context. It wouldn\\\'t matter how it was translated.

Do you KNOW ANYTHING about languages, I would think if you speak Korean and English you do. You should know languages DO NOT translate directly. And I speak Japanese, and I know the languages do not translate well in many instances.

Also, it\\\'s extremely common for a story, manga, movie, anime, etc... to be translated and presented differently due to cultural differences. I\\\'ve read the manga in Japanese, I\\\'ve also read some in English and there is a lot that is different.

Shouldn\\\'t we go by the canon written by the mangaka, in her own language, based on her culture, especially considering it takes place in her country?

OMG, do you have an argument for everything? I have never seen someone so deluded.

And I am not making fun of you. Not at all. If someone is making fun of you for liking your preferred pairing that\\\'s wrong, but you don\\\'t need to argue that it\\\'s canon to justify what you like. Just like it. I like all kinds of pairings in many manga and anime, some are canon some aren\\\'t, and I like them for many reasons, it\\\'s nothing that needs more justification than \\\"I like this\\\". Anyone that says different is being an asshole to you, and isn\\\'t worth your time.

Continued over from the archived discussion, but this is really more of a localized iteration of a more global trope, e.g. {{Tokyo is the Center of the Universe}}. In most cultures one major city will tend to be the dominant one that serves as a default setting unless {{Author Provincialism}} or some other force prevails (San Francisco gets this a lot when people get tired of setting things in LA and and change it up by tossing in establishing shots of a cable car coming over a steep hill lined with Victorian houses with a frog-shrouded Golden Gate bridge in the background). If it\'s the US it\'ll be set in New York City or Los Angeles. The UK uses London. Japan, Tokyo.
