"Health and Physical Education for 30-Year-Olds"

...Why is a sex-ed book for men in there 30s promoting sex with what looks like a 13 year old?

Huh! Condoms? With Japan negative population growth they should be promoting having lots of children, otherwise sooner rather than later their economy will implode.

That poster is just too creepy. The website says the female character is supposed to be thirty as well, but they look more like father and daughter or something.

Isn't this a bit like advertising motor oil in a show for people who take the bus?

I find that poster creepy, I will agree with poisondusk on that, that sort of implied underage sex. and I will agree with mangamuscle on trying to promote having more kids due to Japan's low birthrate.

I think ikillchicken's avatar would have made a better poster.

Okay, now that I had my good laugh for the day, I've got a bone to pick with this "sex ed" series.

So, apparently, it looks like both characters in the show are supposed to be 30? I'm sorry but unless the manga or the show gives us a damn good reason as to why the girl looks much younger than 30, I can't help but call bullshit on this.

It's one thing to have shows showing guys interested in moe girls but if you're gonna start calling this moe girl a thirty-year-old and expect us to believe that, you're blowing smoke up our asses while pissing in our ear and telling us it's raining.

I couldn't help but have a good laugh from this.

The characters look younger than 30 tbh.

see Xia Da



hint: spoiler[she's 28 here, will be 30 this year]

While hers is one of the more outlier cases, it is certainly something I've noticed hanging around asian girls and women (here and in asian countries) particularly without makeup, compared to girls of other ethnicities to be quite frank...


And WRT population; many other countries (EU and Russia) have the same birthrate or lower and they are not in some economic depression relative to others, in fact you tend to see the inverse relationship between population growth and stability and wealth, not just between countries but even in communities within any countries. Japan's economy has much more to do with other factors than simple population. There are still more workers than jobs available.

Besides, Japan is smaller than California, yet currently has a population that is ~3.5x more!

Hey, I know a couple of women I know at work that are 30 that look like they are still coming out of highschool, LOL. It's always a laugh at my workplace (By the way, there are probably the only females I know that don't drink and smoke, which is very rare these days). Laughing

I remember when she wanted to get a couple of lottery tickets at the convenience store across from our workplace. They asked her for license to prove she was over the age of 18, lmfao. It was like a anime moment.

My Friend was like: I AM 30 DAMNIT!!! >_____<

Clerk: *looks at her ID and at her* Are you sure???

My Friend: Evil or Very Mad [seriously she was flaming, Anime hyperD]

Me: LMFAO

And what's worse she's not that tall either. She's like 4'11" something, she's as tall as my mom Laughing

Actually I can't wait to see it, the adverstisement is misleading until we actually see some footage of the show. Since I'm approaching 30, I would like to see more shows related to my age than the normal high school drama stuff. Middle-Age romance maybe the way to go, who knows Anime hyper

so... will the Trojan Man be making an appearance or not?

but seriously, the girl on the art poster is too moe to be in her 30s.

now this is more believable:

sawako sensei may not be in her mid-30s but she looks like an adult.
