Soft Pr0n?
So, I was at the Barnes and Noble today looking at manga, see if there is anything new. When a couple of, well, middle school boys were talking loudly about how manga and anime is nothing but soft core porn. Now, we all know that more and more sexual manga have been coming over to the US, but I don't see anime, at least the easy access ones, being all that sexual. The ones that are are made with the intent for an older demographic in Japan. Most that come over are for children in the US while the ratings change for more adults, Death Note is one that comes to mind (yes, it's a kids manga over there). I can point out many that are not pornographic at all. Though, I wonder if boob grabbing counts? No, no it doesn't. There are plenty of US comics that are very sexual, so why must they be excluded? Maybe because a good deal of manga have a more shallow story, mainly because the majority of them are for young kids. Considering these are boys and young ones at that, I doubt they go away from the BLEACH and Naruto manga that are so popular with that crowd. Also made me curious if they look at the hardcore ones where you rape every female you see and tentacle porn.
