Oh boy I can't wait to see the controversy surround this once more. Apparently manga publisher PeCChi is looking to publish the series in the West and is using this Kickstarter as a way to do it.

I'm really excited for this. It'd be great for lolicon manga to be released in the West without issues.

That was years ago though, and Seven Seas decided that they didn't want to do it, that it was inappropriate for them to do so, not that they couldn't. Plus a lot of book sellers decided they didn't want to sell the product, so they thought they couldn't sell it at the time.

A Kickstarter could certainly help get around sales issues.

YES!!
FINALLY!
I really loved the crap outta Kodomo no Jikan- both the anime and the manga- so I'm glad to see it get a release.
Hopefully they actually follow through with it this time- I mean I understand the controversy, but there has been worse stuff licensed in the West. It's just a shame that Kodomo no Jikan is easily written off as just a "lolicon manga" when the psychological aspect and heart warming story is wonderful as well!

Then again, a lot of yaoi, yuri and shotacon series get the same treatment...just because a story has a genre that appeals to the niche & is often taboo, doesn't mean its always guaranteed to be shallow, plotless or completely unreadable for non-fans. Here's to hoping that this licensing will change things a little! ^^

lol it's understandable why you think that since you dropped the manga so early

The start of the manga does seem to be a generic ecchi, but it really turns into something amazing as you read on

It has a score of 8.04 for a reason, and every single person who did a review on it has rated it an 8+
