That's not something specific to the US. If you chose a manga or anime at random, it'd most likely revolve around a highschooler.
Yup, one of the reasons Black Lagoon is now one of my favourite animés is that it neither involves school nor a magical alternative universe. It does revolve around a salaryman though ... can't win them all I guess :-/
May I interest you in Samurai Pizza Cats?
Yes. Yes you can.
Thank you for the tip :-)
I don't mind the magic, I like fantasy. The highschool theme got boring, fast.
Not necessarily, sometimes its a Japanese salaryman being reincarnated into a video game.
Or whatever this is

Tbf, season 1 of that show is honestly good. After that it gets really stale and boring though
That's a more relatively recent thing.
This, this is not just an American thing
Post-war Japanese culture is very american though.
