heh, good to know. I've always liked older women 
Well I still agree with my first post. You can forget the second one, but I will still agree with my mentality. When necesary, take action and don't be idle.

or it could simply be said that we make our own choices.
if someone picks something up with an 18+ rating (or any other), they should be able to accept the consequences for viewing it (like being underage and grabbing a playdude)... just like if an artist draws it, if it's possibly in the grey area of legality, just don't do it, better for yourself in the long run

Very nicely put, RagingOtaku.  I agree with that 100%

Just that "Bodies were drawn in a lifelike manner with little attention to concealment (of genitalia), making for sexually explicit expression and deeming the book pornographic matter," Mr Nakatani said. Now the same could be ideally said for Perfect Blue as well as it has crossed this apparent line by this definition, which just highlights just how extraordinary this ruling appears. I’d be interested in seeing if the ruling is upheld in the appeal case. |
it depends on how the genetalia was portrayed in the manga in question. In Perfect Blue, it was rather artistic, and handled well. That is, there were no instances where you could make out anatomical parts of her anatomy when it came to the full shots. The pubic hair, in essence, was the "concealment" which is obviously lacking in this manga.

I think you're just splitting hairs there.
