I don't know if I agree that it falls along 2nd/3rd generation lines, either. I'm sort of in-between, so could go either way, and have always been a Buffy girl, but care much more about Spike's love life. I identify with Buffy quite a bit, and if it weren't for the feminist edge I doubt I'd be as interested in the show. But all her romances seem quite boring to me, except with Spike. Spike, on the other hand, is always fun to watch, even with Harmony — his worst relationship ever.
I'm interested by your manga references. I know there's a lot of genderswap in the medium, but hadn't grokked how that might be filtering into western media.
