With that kind of title, I'm expecting a free FBI visit with every volume ordered.

There’s no way that this won’t be renamed for its English release, just sayin’.

Being very technical here, I don't think that's covered by Obscenity Laws in the United States... though that doesn't mean they can't have a secret/illegal list of suspicious people or something.

I wasn't entirely serious, but that's exactly what I alluded to. That said, the title would be at home in a porn store, but elsewhere it would surely raise some eyebrows. I guess that's the intention?

Hey, ever since I saw the movie Se7en (David Flincher, 1995), where a list of people who check specific books at the library is mentioned, I thought to myself: "I know this is fiction, but they could just very well do this".
Scandalous as the name may sound, some still say that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Some do say that. I don’t think they’ve got a totally realistic view of things.

Just for the record, I wasn't being judgmental towards the manga; just riffing on the title by itself.
Being provocative on purpose is totally valid. One of my favorite manga of all time is called Molester Man, and it's about a misunderstanding that set the plot events in motion (the protagonist is not a molester and there is no molesting in the manga).
