1. I have tried, and tried to like Yahiko. I can't fully make my opinion until I've been able to read the other manga/watch the rest of the anime, but sometimes he just makes me want to scream. XD; I dunno, there's something that bugs me about children who think they're adults. He comes across so arrogant in the early manga, and I know it's probably a facade, but I just really don't like arrogant children characters. I need badly to read the later manga/see the rest of the anime, so I can (hopefully) see him grow up.
2. On the same line, I have also struggled to like Kaoru. I admit that I've finally been able to see her in a somewhat better light now, and I recognize what a kind person she must be, to have all these "weirdos" living in her dojo, but still sometimes she just ... ugh. I think what bothers me the most is when she doesn't have any confidence in Kenshin concerning Megumi. She just goes and hits him and it's really uncalled for. Women who can't have better faith in their men than that get on my nerves. XD; If a male character was like that, and hitting the woman, he probably wouldn't be liked, but when a woman is like that, it's supposed to be funny. **shakes head.** It's just not funny to me.
3. I think the manga-ka has an obsession with decapitation. XD; In the five manga I own, I think there's at least one in each volume. Sometimes it's fairly graphic, too. That's truthfully one of the reasons why I stopped buying the manga. It drives me crazy. That's one change I'm grateful to the anime for making.
