Take a chill pill ,kiddo. Nobody is cancelling the manga.Read the news more carefully and turn off your caps lock.

Yeah, these people are walking on a nice slippery slope, and have no idea of what's at stake here.

First they came for Aki-Sora,
and I didn't speak out because I'm not into incest.

Then they came for general hentai,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't into any kind of hentai.

Then they came for the Seikon no Kwaser,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't into ecchi.

Then they came for anything with fanservice
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

So basically it's the Reagan years except with neckbeards and plastic figures instead of hippies and drugs then?

Implicating my choice of avatar has any effect on my point.



Because they'll obviously be ruined if they're aimed at the 18+ market, right?



It's like you don't know that there'll be a label along with the 18+ rating stating as to why it is 18+, as is standard with absolutely every rating system on Earth. Stop trying to make it look like you understand the situation, when you actually don't.

the thread deserves to be renamed to "ISHIHARA HATE THREAD"..

otherwise, please just lock it..

What's there to misunderstand?

funny you said that yourself lol. i'll re-quote the comment for ya



Aki-Sora's not really going to be discontinued yet (although it's heading there), just that volumes 1 & 3 won't be reprinted.

Aki Sora is completed so it can't possibly be discontinued.

BTW, how many volumes of Aki Sora are there? I'm only up to about chap 25 and I couldn't find more.

i meant discontinuing in the sense of reprinting.



currently 5. 6th one (also the last) is going to be released on may 20th

Hm? I wasn't implying anything. I quite clearly stated that he didn't understand the Youth Ordinance Bill. Aki Sora would have '18+' with 'may contain explicit incestuous content' on the back.

There's nothing to not agree with, considering it's not an opinion and a matter of facts.

Don't care since its not my couple of tea anyways although I might read it for the lols.

Besides if the bill goes after works that have huge fanbases like Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece for example I doubt the manga publishers are just going to sit down and let that faggot Ishihara do what he wants.

Well, yes, but that label will probably say something like "contains sex/nudity involving children", because it does contain some, with the first example in Bokurano being in Mako's character arc, but it isn't explicit and only plays a minor role in the story. Will the label account for that? Probably not.

Also, you are forgetting about sales restrictions. Any manga with this rating will be treated in the same way as a NC-17 movie or an AO video game in that sales and advertisment of such series will be severely restricted, even if the content would only be severe enough to justify a R or a M rating in those systems I mentioned, which would almost certainly be the case for something like Koi Kaze, if not Bokurano/Narutaru.

I'm not advocating the sale of such manga to children, but the stigma that would be attached to a manga with such a rating would probably be great enough for it to take a nose-dive in sales from adults too, regardless of its artistic merit. Yeah, some adults are uptight that they refuse to buy any "porn", regardless of whether it is actually porn or using less explicit version of themes found in porn for the sake of artistic merit. Let's not forget that some times, true art is offensive, although I admit that that isn't really an argument for putting things on general sale since everything is subjective, but still...

Except that they won't come for general hentai because they are already under these 18+ restrictions, and rightly so. They mostly exist to get the viewer sexually excited. They know who they are targeting and there is no reason why they should be sold where children could see them.

There's a difference between 'minor', 'implied' and 'explicit'. 'Involving children' wouldn't even be brought up, it'd most likely state 'may contain mild nudity', but only on said volume it appears it. It'd hardly make it hit the 18+ rating.

Well, it looks like we have some common ground at least. Now that we have established that implied sex or nudity perhaps shouldn't make something 18+ on its own, I can now get to the point.

It may not be (and probably isn't) the main intention of the bill to do this, but as a side effect of its enforcement, publishers will probably start to be a lot more cautious about what they publish as a result, and any manga that could provoke the slightest bit of controversy due to child nudity or implied sex involving children will probably get rejected or watered down when it probably shouldn't be.

That's the main point I have been trying to get across. Take it or leave it. If you disagree, fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and that is mine. But really, only time will tell how this bill affects the industry.

Oh. Then the thread should be 'Aki-Sora Manga Reprints To Be DiscontinuedDue to Incestuous Contents' >.> so misleading.

Anyways, if those last prints got through the internet then I guess there's no problem.

aw no more "Aki-nee chan!"

Pretty much sums it all up.

kinda saw it coming thta shit was definitely hentai lol and kissxsis better wacth out lol
