| On February 15th, mangaka Watashiya Kaworu had a quarrel with another mangaka Yuki Homura ("Sakitama ~Sakuya Den~") on twitter over the sexual expression of manga. Yuki tweeted that one of his acquainted bookstore clerks said he cannot put Comic High! magazine in the store since it has sexual expressions. Yuki complained that one ecchi manga series can bring disadvantages to all the other manga serialized in the same magazine. Watashiya asked Yuki if the "ecchi manga" Yuki was talking about was Kodomo no Jikan. (Note: Both Yuki and Watashiya have been serializing manga in Comic High! magazine.) Yuki didn't specify the title in question but he told Watashiya it's better to keep the expression of manga within the safety zone set by the regulation of Tokyo government. Watashiya got angry and said she had been making a great effort not to violate the rule. Yuki said he didn't mean to interfere with the creation of Watashiya but he insisted he had a right to make a complaint. Source: Togetter of the conversation |

| Sounds like a bad storyline idea for Bakuman :v |
| Being ecchi mangaka is suffering. Twitter drama truly is the universal tie that bonds all people. |

Project_MkUltra said: Except no, it's not. Perhaps you didn't read the starting post well enough, but this is clearly about more than just drawings. It's an argument that basically states the sexual expression(used here to simulate Yuki Homura's voice) of a manga can alter how people look at other manga in same magazine. It is an essential argument that can be expanded to other mediums like music, television, and the like. A example of the term "one bad apple can spoil the bunch."Calm the fuck down it's just drawings |
| I'm going to root for the author of Kidomo no Jikan because I actually really enjoyed that Anime! :D |

| sad argument in the first place - should artists really have to censor themselves in the first place? seems like japan might be heading back to where it was pre-world war II (although i hope not) - we're dealing with the same backwards-thinking right-wing types here in the u.s., so we don't have much room to criticize - i really hope this trend can be reversed - seems like every time the world economy hits a bad pocket all the hard-core fascists and communists rear their ugly little heads.......... |
 |
| Butthurt about your manga doing poorly? Make a fuss with a popular one! Also looking at series serialized in Comic High it could as well be any other manga like Onii-chan no Koto which i believe has around the same amount of ecchi content like KnJ does or Girlfriends - when it was serialized and shown actual sex. |

Damonashu said: so are we saying that sexual expression is a "bad apple"? isn't our sexuality a basic and very natural part of our common human experience? does it not belong in art because some hung-up individuals can't deal with it? being it's an ecchi magazine, sexual situations are going to be a large part of it...Project_MkUltra said: Except no, it's not.

| I've never heard of this "Sakitama" thing, so I'm gonna side with Kaworu-sensei on this one. |
| Onii-chan no koto got licensed in the US. Also before you say Mr. Ishihara has done nothing, the reason you don't notice is because we are watching/reading our typical normal anime/manga/LNs, very little has been affected, he's just shifted most of his power to doujin mangaka, he's responsible for the arrest of some for trumped up obscenity charges. There are also concerns that Comiket will be shut down. |

There are also concerns that Comiket will be shut down. I'm sorry, are we talking the same language here? Or rather, are we in the same world? Or should i say: are u one of those from sankaku? 1. Who got arrest? Hello, knock knock. People got burst because of obscene way before that man and his law appear. And if we talk about being burst because of obscenity, it wont just be in Japan. 2. While that whole crap is stupid, I believe that shit did NOT say anything about arrest anyone here. Only those from sankaku believe in that. 3. Are u listening to yourself? With the whole economic situation, prices sky rocketing, people lost their job... and u think they just pay more and more for hobby? Perhaps, but only those hardcore hikkikomori do that. The number of visitor slip, and a bunch of shut-in already make a fuss about that? Get real! Life is harder every day! Btw, who do u think gain the most from COMIKET? Mangaka? Circle? I dont think so, and u think they want to close it? Joined Feb 2012, only 2 posts, I have a good feeling you just registered only to put your two cents in. This topic is only pertaining to Japan, don't get any other country involved in this. As for who gains the most from Comiket like any convention, well it's not the anime or manga industry, it's the convention owners (convention space costs money to rent) and a little bit from hotel owners, restaurants, etc. Governments regardless of nation can close any event as they please for any reason at all (or for no reason at all). |

octal9 said: No, I'm definitely not saying that, and if it's true that Homura is a hentai mangaka, then I doubt he's saying that either. I'm just saying that it presents a good point when you think about it. Let's say it's not ecchi but instead the bravado presented by certain rappers in rap music. My cousin often listens to a song by Ice Cube that has a line alluding to him having sex with his girl, compare other songs, or rather, modern rap and hip hop with a song like "Ass" or whatever that song is that repeats that phrase over and over again.Damonashu said: so are we saying that sexual expression is a "bad apple"? isn't our sexuality a basic and very natural part of our common human experience? does it not belong in art because some hung-up individuals can't deal with it? being it's an ecchi magazine, sexual situations are going to be a large part of it...Project_MkUltra said: Except no, it's not.

Compare the "Ass" song, which adds to no other theme than "I like ass." So is sexual expression wrong? No, it isn't. But it raises the question of when this expression goes from purposeful to pandering.Let's ignore the point about how he said it should follow government regulations. And more, let's ignore all the people who seem to be neglecting that Homura do not target Watashiyo in his statement at all, and let's just focus on what he concluded with, "but he insisted he had a right to make the complaint." In a magazine full of ecchi manga, it's impossible to say which one he was complaining about, but he wasn't wrong in making the complaint. In my comparison "One bad apple can ruin the bunch." The bad apple in this case is the purposeless "'sexual expression" ruining all other sexual expression. |
| These arguments are much more interesting than the mangakas'. xD |

The bad apple in this case is the purposeless "'sexual expression" ruining all other sexual expression. Your whole argument seems to come down to Kodomo no Jikan being "purposeless". That's a fair point when you take away the context of the situation, however, I can't help but wonder if you've actually read Kodomo no Jikan, since it's not in your list. Granted, people don't always put everything they've read on their lists, so correct me if that's the case. Still, it's not really fair to judge it without reading more than a small amount (or none of it). I'm not trying to say Kodomo no Jikan is horribly deep or anything, because it's not, but it's far from "purposeless". If you wanted to point out a "purposeless" ecchi manga, you could probably find a couple more worthy of the title in the very same magazine. Just because Kodomo no Jikan has become controversial doesn't make it "purposeless". The two are very different things. I'd also point out that deviating from the norm in sexual expression in and of itself more than someone or something else is not always (but can be) "purposeless". |

I don't know enough about Kodomo no Jikan to say whether or not it is a culprit in purposeless ecchi, and despite the thread title suggesting that this was a heated debate between Homura and Watashiyo I don't think he was referring to it either. Just looking at the first few manga on the Comic High page would give you plenty of other suspects, the only reason Kodomo no Jikan seems to be the target is because the thread title makes it such. But I will assure you now, I would never speak to lengths about something I'm not familiar with. |
| It's funny when you know the author of Kodomo no Jikan is a woman. ^^ |

| lol twitfight! I've not seen two mangaka have a less than pleasant conversation on twitter yet. But seeing Ono Natsume and est em tweet back and forth makes me happy (in my pants~). |

| Check to see if that shop stocks Champion Red or Jump Square. If it does, then their bullshit argument is just that, bullshit. On edit: Hmm, so that store does sell Champion Red Ichigo. Welp... |
