   I tend to like stuff like this as well and do not understand why most   
   Mangas/Animes have to always be "saving the world". When reading for a   
   relaxing hobby the last thing I want to read about is violent   
   confrontations, epic events and end of the world scenarios. I just like the   
   aesthetic appeal of the artwork and the snippets of Japanese culture to be   
   picked up here and there.
