Anybody still keeping up with the manga? 

 

also there might be some hope for official translations, and that could also mean potential volume releases of the Hokkaido Arc.  

 

 

not necessarily saying it like I'm gonna pick up the volumes of the current arc since I own the collection of the original series (bought this prior to the news in 2017), but just thought I'd share something on what Viz Media had to say.

I have a question, I heard the original creator of Rurouni Kenshin was arrested for child pornography. Who is doing this current new manga?

Hes still doing it, according to what Ive heard, he paid a $2000 fine and I think he apologized for his actions.

His wife is the story consultant for the new series which is neat.

I'm still keeping up with it, at least as far as raw scans of the manga are concerned because the release of the fan translations have been lagging behind.

What! Good f-ing God! Now I truly believe the majority of Japan population have the Lolita Complex.

 

No wonder we see too many erotic loli in manga and anime. A 2 grand fine is only a slap to the wrist. They should have charge him at least half a million.

 

The original American voice actor that did the English dubbed voices over for the protagonist of High School DXD was arrested and thrown into prison for child pornography.

 

Anything that points to an individual being a potential even if the did not do the dead with children is a serious offense in the western world that even if not arrested, they will lose their jobs and careers down the drain that it will be very difficult to recover from.    

 

If this was America, this author's wife may have divorce him by now. So it seems nothing in Japan as long as they don't get caught in the act.

 

Very different culture indeed.

 

O'well, If treat this matter with biased than I should give up on manga and anime. Such a drag lol.

Oh I don't disagree at all. I'm not necessarily supporting him anymore I just read the scans for free. Were not supporting any manga author if we read manga online unofficially. But anyone truly disgusted by him can stop any time. I don't blame you.

I can definitely agree to that.

 

 

All I'm doing is just following the story to see where it goes after the original, less abut the author in that respect.  Man, I remember what it was like collecting all the volumes of the original manga years before this news came out, and I was planning on getting this sequel manga  though I don't really see myself getting them after what happened with the author. That still kinda blows my mind.

I was trying to say if this news bothers me that much that much than I should avoid Japanese materials.  It does not bother me a bit. I was just too surprise how easy this author got off the hook.

It was pretty surprising.  

 

 

Wasn't there suppose to be an interview between Oda and Watsuki this month? I heard someone talking about it earlier.

Legally, yes. His rep might be ripped to shreds though so he may still be facing consequences. I don’t even Japanese take child porn lightly.

From what I understand, they tolerate loli -since it does have an audience therefor money can be made- but it has stay 2-D. They have strict child porn laws because they don't want those lolicons to actually act out their fantasies on children.

 

Watsuki is allowed to continue this manga since it can make money and its only a single arc, but it likely he has been given a very firm warning.

Correct. I did research back in college. As long as lolicon and shotacon is fictional and people doesn't apply or create any medium in those genres in real-life or else facing severe legal consequences.

I cant read it. Not as a protest, mangapanda is illegal anyway. I just cant.

I paint watercolors and am in a wc group on fb. Once someone spammed childporn on that site and I saw a glimpse of it - reported it, caused a big stir in the group that was otherwise a friendly community. : (

And about whether Japanese ppl take this seriously, remember the lolita book was written by a russian fetishizing young japanese girls.

Yeah that's fine. Like I said  to read or not is completely up to anyone. I'm definitely not paying to read this anymore but I'll just see where the story is going. Illegally. :zaru:  but if anyone still has issue with Watsuki and not even wanting to read the series anymore there is nothing wrong with that at all. Really ,if most fans are reading manga for free, there really is not much of an affect on a series than there was before anyway . And I'm sure that even Japanese fans are probably not want to support him anymore, at least not as much as they used to
