I've long wondered if all this furigana is really even necessary or if it's borne out of an irrational fear that the manga won't sell as well without it. For example, are most Japanese pre-teens truly lost without furigana? I understand why the kiddy manga needs it but once you get into the more intermediate junior high type stuff, I question if it is just a frivolous courtesy that hardly anybody really needs.
