       Well he and his hero, "Onizuka" both matured, i reckon. Eikichi   
   after all shows signs of being willing to forgo violence but is   
   again and again forced to convince his contemporaries of the primacy   
   of his energies.   
      
       Besides that I am looking at a historical series like "Satsuma   
   Gishiden" aka "The legend of the Satsuma Samurai" by Hiroshi Hirata   
   which has enough violence, historically attested, to satisfy anyone.   
   But both of this series run about the same price and I think I can   
   get along without more of the SJG.
