The Japanese parliament has been debating regulation of explicit manga material for some time now. One current bill in debate is known as the “Nonexistent Youth” bill, which prohibits minors to buy explicit manga or anime material that feature characters that look or sound under the legal age limit.

Some parties are still not satisfied with some of the details of the bill, and it was expected to be delayed to later this summer. Others have reported, however, that the bill may go up for a general vote as early as June. No one party has the majority currently in the Japanese parliament, so more than one party must be appeased in order to accrue a majority vote.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. While I do not approve of such comics, I do think that people have the right to free expression. Putting an age restriction on explicit material is a much better approach that I’m sure will satisfy both lawmakers, the public and publishers.

What do you think?

I have no idea what it’s on bout XD


it’s good that they are trying to cover all aspects and, as mentioned above, not leave loopholes


what??


Confusing~


pssh.. i’m sure people will know when it normal manga and hentai-manga..
pff.... raspberry


I dont think this law isn’t gonna help much. I mean come on really?


Truth is, I DON’T REALLY GET IT. o_0


I think its a good idea but at the same time a lot of mangas have “anime material that feature characters that look or sound under the legal age limit.”


I dunno it’s kinda weird. Esp. the part on “look or sound under the legal age limit”. o.0


haha nice o-o;;


Lol..


^ yeah theres too many pedobears out there >_<


Honestly, I don’t think there should be naughty manga with little kids in it.
But I guess the age restriction is just about as much as they can do.


So, just who exactly will make the informed decision as to what sounds illegal and what doesn’t?  I think an age restriction is enough.


It’s stupid, they could always read/watch it online or from a friend so there’s no point -_-

^ to me almost all of anime sounds like its under the legal age limit XD they always have such childish voices XD


To me ~~~~ putting an age restriction is the better choice… o.o”
