Because you all never want to believe us when we tell you these authors like pedo stuff and are writing it to appeal to their Japanese audience that likes that content I went to their Twitter to find some examples. She herself says “it’s been awhile since I drew shota” and some of her works were published with shotacon tags. You all need to understand that Japanese culture around manga and anime is NOT the same as elsewhere. Drawn cp is legal there. This is a 40 yr old woman who likes to draw little boys in her sexual manga. Regardless of whether she ages them up or makes up a reason for them to be smaller like being malnourished…the point is that it’s included for those reasons. She knows it, her Japanese fans know it, it’s just yall that lump everything together because you’re used to reading everything on piracy websites that pull both regular comics, smut, and explicit porn from across the internet. They’re drawn to look like kids for people that like shota, like the author. These books would be wrapped in plastic and put in places kids can’t access them where sold in Japan. Just know when Japanese artists include weird stuff, it’s not innocent.
Keep in mind this is the country that allowed a grown man to date an elementary school girl in a tv show for kids because they believe wish fulfillment for fans trumps being ethical. That show? Card captor sakura. They included that “couple” for little girls to fantasize about being with their teachers bc “girls do that”. That’s how they describe why they did that. That is SO dangerous and just sets kids up to get groomed and not be able to tell it’s weird if their teacher comes on to them. Especially if the kid likes their teacher.
It’s also a country with a long history of production of cp. Cp with real kids wasn’t illegal until pretty recently. Drawn cp is still legal there. They also just amended their laws regarding rape in 2017 to include men. It only used to included women. So it took until 2017 to acknowledge men and boys can be raped in the eyes of the law.
I knew he looked too much like a kid..
I wish I could explain how much that saddens me we rlly need to step up for men being sa too
The story is Korean and I think the cover is a boy or a funeral picture and it’s about a boy that I think got in an accident with a friend or got in an accident at the friends funeral and hurts his head. I can’t remember if he has amnesia and slowly regains his memories or is seeing a ghost of his friend, but basically towards the end he finds out his friend raped their other friend and has to reckon with that and the grief of everything. I think it’s called something like “teenager ____”.
I remembered it right after posting. Teenager Younghwa
I can’t remember the name of a webtoon I used to read. Basically, the author gets I sekai’ into her own novel universe. She can write stuff into the novel. There she meets her villain but he actually turns out to be a good guy. He has red hair I think. There’s also these black ink blob monsters. Her protagonist is actually sketchy and I think he actually was isekai’d into the novel too? It’s hinted that there is a way in and out of this universe and the girl mc is going to find it. Romance between her and the villain she wrote (who is actually not a villain....) please help if you know the name of this comic!
Yes! Thanks!
It was good…up until the end. I guess they didn’t want to keep adapting the novel completely, so the ending is rushed. It will end quite abruptly at 67 chapters. It ties everything up but it was quite disappointing for me since what I appreciated about the story was how thorough it was. It feels like there are quite a few things that just got glossed over completely for time. Well, at least it was resolved…I hope somebody translates the novel, I’d love to pick up the parts that were left out and the novels ending. I also read there might be side stories after the 67 chapters? But not sure where to find them
So did he end up woth Ilya in the novel??
I don’t think the coupling was different in the novel from what I read from people that did read the novel. But I haven’t read it. I think what I mean is they just did a lot in one episode. It’s all going at a normal pace and then suddenly the last chapter is a big leap in their relationship. It goes from slow burn to…well I won’t say unless you want me to. They don’t tie up some of the plot points they set up and we never see Karyan/Karjan (cant remember what this translator went with) again after honestly some of the upcoming chapters. It’s too bad. Felt extremely unsatisfying imo but…it worked out.
