like in nearly every other non-yuri romance series.
Yeah, that's the thing. Parity, like. Anyone remember that movie "Million Dollar Baby" about the girl boxer? It got tons of kudos and lots of people really liked it, but I was thinking "OK, so we have the female MC becoming good at her sport, fighting hard, winning the big fight . . . and then dying tragically of a random disease so her big (unrealistic) paycheck just ends up going to pay her medical bills cuz it's the USA. Nice tear-jerking story, but if it was a GUY sports story they'd win the big fight, get the girl and live happily ever after. So how come in the girl version she dies instead?"
