What Up With All the Strawberries? <3
Quote from Toldeg
well.. putting aside Bleach.. if its connected to some romantic titles and characters then its cause strawberries were always kind of a romantic fruit..
indeed, we have to put aside Bleach (kurosaki ichigo), because his name ain't mean strawberry. 🙂

Strawberries (on fruits,panties,puddings,cakes,Bleach,Jellies, Pocky) are overrated.

Quote from CatzCradle
Like the title says, just wondering why it's such a popular fruit among the mangaka community. It's been used for titles, character names (coughBleachcough), and etc. I mean, what's wrong with papayas and kiwis? 🤣
Would anyone mind explaining this please?
hm, i think ichigo in kurosaki ichigo's name ain't mean strawberry.
the kanji ichigo in his name means something like "the protecting one" or "the one who protect" 🙂
Oh, I see now. Thanks. 🙂
One of reasons I originally thought it meant 'strawberry' was because that was what it said in the Viz English version.
But you can't really deny that Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew has at the least some connotations with strawberries. 😛
(or at that's what my mind keeps telling me 😃 )
Believe it or not there are quite a few strawberry farms and green houses in Japan.

What's wrong with Grapes??
Grapes are great too. And not to mention Bananas... they are such a necessity for lunch skipping people or even otherwise XD....
And then there are Apples, Mangoes, Oranges, Blueberries, Raspberries, Pineapples, and Watermelons...
Apart from Pineapples and Watermelons, nearly all the above listed fruits can be used for romanticism with maximum efficiency.
And strawberries... I've seen most of the Strawberry titles to be Yuri... So maybe it has something to do with the thing that strawberry as a fruit is more preffered/liked by girls?? 🤨

Well, strawberries are red, the color of love, and are shaped almost like a heart. Not to mention they are delicious, and a summer fruit.
Soooo, maybe that is why?
