Shaoran is...not that universal
first of all...clamp is pretty niche...atleast in my country
just saying Shaoran to the general manga reading public would be like saying Aznable to a person who likes Anime
Huh!
who the fuck is that?
second 95% of ppl older than 22 would think
Cardcaptor Sakurawhen they hear that name
so not a very good example
I do not think Sailor moon is a good example
since every country have their own name on her
i had no idea she was called serena tsukino for example[guessing america] untill i read fovikas post
the first person who just wrote
Elric
made me think of the fantasy book series
not full metal alchemist
general manga ppl might know and get the series just by hearing
Kenshiro
Jotaro
Lum
Belldandy
if not...read some good shit for gods sake
well known characters with their names in the title of their manga/light novel is kind of cheating lol but
haruhi,ranma,inu yasha,kenshin
