>Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc Manga Goes on Hiatus Due to Creator's Child Porn Chargeposted on 2017-11-21 05:57 EST
>Nobuhiro Watsuki charged with possession of child pornography on Tuesday
>Japanese publisher Shueisha announced on Tuesday that Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin manga is going on hiatus, due to Watsuki being charged for possession of child pornography. The manga will not run in Shueisha's Jump SQ. Magazine as of the January 2018 issue, which will ship on December 4. Shueisha commented that it is taking this news seriously, and that Watsuki expresses deep regret. The publisher added that it has not decided what to do with Watsuki's manga volumes already in print, because the matter is still under discussion.
>Watsuki first launched his 28-volume Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994. The manga has more than 60 million copies in print. The manga centers around Kenshin Himura, once a deadly assassin during the Meiji Restoration, who is trying to find a new life beyond violence. The manga has since been adapted into a 95-episode TV anime series, an anime film, three original video anime projects, three live-action films, and a stage musical by the all-female musical theater troupe Takarazuka Revue. The Daily Sports newspaper reported that a new live-action film in the works
>Most recently, Watsuki and his novelist wife/story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki launched the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc (Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Hokkaido-hen) in Shueisha's Jump SQ. magazine in September. Viz is simultaneously publishing it in English.
I had no idea the manga had restarted or that there was another live movie in development. Seems like a strange coincidence this is when they coincidentally "discover" these things. Had Watsuki expressed any unpopular political viewpoints that needed to be silenced? Curious if they planted this stuff on him. Also never knew his wife was named Kaoru, cute.

What's that based on though? Assumptions that Japanese police will not prosecute 2D like America/Australia/Britain/Canada already have under obscenity laws.
We just have this good faith that Japan will always protect its heritage?
Also how do we know this is "porn" and not simply naturist websites which are legal in the United States? All they said is naked teenagers, not anything about sexual acts or genital focus.
Japan has laws about nudity w/0 mosaics so for all we know he just got a nudist colony magazine or something which had some teen girls mixed in, a protected form of expression in many nations except MosaicLand. All this news is reaching us across a language barrier and western translators love to shout 'child porn' at ANYTHING.

Yes, fun-hating and corrupt ideologies such as the PTA exist, but that's Japan's "muh morals" for you.

While I can see a “hibernation” on 2D and 3DPD smut soon, I doubt that they’ll disappear for good. With the rise of borderline H-manga, H-anime, and LNs, I could see a huge resurgence in due time; the yakuza also have a tight grip on the 3D entertainment industry (idols, gravure, JAV, etc.). Anyway, normalfags biasing fans on their preference of 2D they like and 3DPD they don’t is pretty dumb.

>isn't known to draw lolicon
Rurouni Kenshin is a lolicon anime in the classic sense, it is about a 28 year old man (originally intended to be 30) living with an eventually marrying/fucking a 17 year old girl (Kamiya Kaoru) with a side story about a 16 year old girl (Makimachi Misao) in love with 26 year old man (Shinomori Aoshi) and both couples marry. Just because it doesn't conform to neololi standards of illiterate prepubescent preschoolers does not mean it is not traditional loli or that it does not tread on an area which SJWs persecute and will freely call pedophilia or molestation. Every cute image of Kaoru and Misao was lolicon.
No.761280

I'd say the upper borderline for loli is somewhere around 12-14. Basically once you're of breeding age you stop being a loli. There's places (usually third world shitholes but nonetheless) where those girls would be considered legal, and with good reason, because at that age you're already sexually mature. I don't see that as lolicon as much as just an age gap.

Depends on how they handle things. Saving face is a huge part of Asian culture, and Japan really wants to show off on the world stage come the 2020 Olympics. How they'll go about this is another matter. I don't know about Akihabara and other major cities, but as far as I know, it's only limited to Tokyo because it's the central hub of the anime industry. Tourists generally scrape the surface of Japanese degeneracy anyway, so it largely goes ignored. But their paranoia about it could see things adapted to suit foreigners, at least for the actual year of the Olympics. I can see the seedier shops, soaplands, and the like either relocating or temporarily shut down. There's also a huge black market/underground scene for lewd shit, lolis, guro, and beyond even outside of Comiket.

What you don't get with your Naruto analogy is that Naruto IS illegal to consume, unless you have a shueisha/viz approved tankoubon or copy of Jump, and yet it's pirated and distributed wherever enforcement cannot reach. There's not even evidence that banning cp in japan has helped anything. Controlling things demand side has failed in both the drug and animal trades, and opens the door to censorship, because the same argument can be made that sexualizing women encourages "rape culture" or that loli is a slippery slope to real kid diddling.

You are not very good of comprehension, aren't you?
Before 1999, Japan created gravure and explicit videos and photobooks with JS (just like nowadays Idol and JAV made also by the Yakuza) and this is probably the material Watsuki bought. Now this is illegal to produce and possess.

>I'm actually wondering why they're not charging him on purchase.
Because he bought them when it was legal. Watsuki was dumb enough to ask on imagbeboards how to rid of the material he bought and that's how he was caught. Law enforcement lurk those places because Enjo Kosai advertising and arrangements are done therw.

Work on your own reading comprehension before pointing fingers with conspiracy theories. Your link explicitly says JS photobooks were left out in a grey area and only real cp production was banned in 1999, you couldn't even read your own source. Shady groups manage the idol business, but there's no telling if then guys involved are yakuza or not. Watsuki asked on a dedicated law forum with his IP exposed and got answers from certified lawyers, not 2ch, a JK site or whatever.

>some people still trying to defend 2D and throwing 3D under the bus
Fuck these people. There's no evidence whatsoever (except for "studies" of the same caliber as "studies" showing that people who suck establishment liberals' dicks are "smarter") that naked pictures or videos of 3D girls harms them. Most of the 3D underage (I refuse to use the misleading, inaccurate term "child") porn these days is produced by the participants themselves. Are they exploiting themselves? Why is society so retarded? People who believe this fearmongering crap can't be trusted to make decisions.

Look, the fact is that every claim you made was false or pure conjecture, you probably know about as much as this idiot >>762947 on the topic. The only reason I corrected your posts was that it was all misinformation and yakuza namedropping, I didn't even know your stance.

Rurouni Kenshin is my favorite animu, when I first saw it, I cried with happiness because a positive, wholesome animu could exist and I loved it at least until the arc after the Christian one.
Now is tainted, yes other authors have done worst stuff but their art never clashed this much with their actions, RK now just looks like the ultimate creation to save face. Had you told me he had a CP collection in the 90s then it would have been a parallel to self improvement shown in the work, but no.
Rurouni Kenshin will always be the animu it was before I knew this, but I can't see it ever again.

The thing is that even if it wasn't illegal back then or he never thought to be incorrect, with a work like that I was hoping for him to be the first one to come out and give his collection to the police, but hiding it for 18 years? That's some hypocrisy you know that.

Well, there is no official confirmation or even reliable reporting that such censorship over the next few years will occur. It's mostly just rumors, speculation and the sensitives of various artists, their publishers, Twitter, 2ch, and the like. However, when every few years or so a case does come up that gets wide attention, companies CAN get antsy, and some publishers and artists self-censor to avoid any trouble, though trouble is only likely to come to them if they get caught putting their product in a place where minors can easily access it and some moralfag group gets outraged.
It’s a far stretch to extrapolate what two small communities do to an entire country (quick, pick some Amish people and say Americans are all like that!), and any uptick in the censorship of sexual content is due to the situation the artists and publishers put themselves in (e.g.- this and the recent Geiger Counter incident). This is NOT an edict ordained from on high here.

Don't count on it. Cultural Marxism is in full swing there just like everywhere else. The reason this is so publicized is that they want to make an example. When Kenshin was first written, I bet this guy got the same kind of porn from the corner store with nobody batting an eye.
