That one image with spoiler[the girl holding up the piece of paper that says "nakadashikibou" ]is what the controversy is all about it seems, but it seems that the line is drawn right there, and doesn't overstep the boundaries most people seem to think it does.


I've read the first volume and flipped through the second volume and that example is one of the most tame that the series has. It gets to the point where she is actively cock teasing the teacher and showing him her panties in a bluntly suggestive way. There is even some yuri tat-tat groping and traditional bathroom scenes.

If anyone's ever looked at the H-manga LOLI than you'll see that besides the sex & nudity involved it's not that much different.

Just remember that because it's culturally 'ok' in japan doesn't mean that it's culturally 'ok' in your country. For example if you can "read" a porn book on the train without getting any flack than getting this book would be a matter of course.

And that's probably why they cancelled the series too.

Which company is publishing it, out of curiosity?

No one is publishing it now, but Seven Seas was the one that was going to. Of course, you could just look on the front page. Wink

Read the letter from Mr. DeAngelis, because that's what's important for clearing up this mess that we have had for the past month.
