It was "promoting different ideals of female social behaviour" and to the current right wing climate of the media over there thats equivalent to telling young girls they should be whores.

You're reading too deep into it, /pol/-kun.

Why would /pol/ give a shit about right wing politics and consider them a bad thing? There is a very clear cultural shift going on in japan and the media is reflecting that change. Outside of the magical weeb fantasy its a country with a lot of societal issues, art reflects life. Especially when editors have such an extreme level of control.

This thread is about a manga being cancelled, not 3DPD Japnese society, and the two aren't directly related.

>manga cancelled because the theme/tone is not popular in its native country

>native country is 'not directly related'

I'm going to assume you are just underage and don't know any better but this isn't a new thing. Sometimes there are even standouts like The Big O where it was extremely unpopular in Japan because it felt 'too western' for a japan struggling at the time with a upsurge in 'tribal shinuku culture' where they felt outside influence was corrupting the youth. So shows were given bad timeslots and sent out to die. In that case the west loved it and cartoon network commissioned a second season but thats rare.

I'm not shitting on you but to say 'muh 3DPD' just shows an ignorance of the relation between manga and shifts in japanese culture thats always been there.

A notable example is the "strange crime era" of the 1980's where a strange rise in serial killers, suicide bombers and random acts of inhuman cruelty and violence in Japan lead to an extreme shift in manga. Titles showed up like Fist of the North Star where it was a perfect alpha male who did not training or learning who simply walked through a wasteland where the bad guys won and brought justice to them. It lead to everything changing to suit these stories that resonated with the readers at the time who felt society was falling apart. Even Jojo part 1 was a response to this.

Manga has always, always been a reflection of japanese society at the time it was written. In the west many with little knowledge of the history of the medium assume it just means things like the current social justice pandering in marvel comics but its completely different. Its more like birds flying away before an earthquake. Its the little vibrations before some big event. Manga is just a canary in the coal mine of japanese culture at large. It says what the youth are thinking and what they want in a way no other media does.

And the societal context is so important that a publisher finding a certain manga not profitable and canning it is literally not a possibility. Is that right?

Manga like Koi to Uso and Netjuu suggest that every male and female have a partner they must procreate with no matter how much of a loser or societal failure they are. I guess this would push some kind of "even you can raise the birthrate and keep our country strong" perspective. Should I expect fewer harem manga with wimpy MCs in favor of strong willed MCs that clearly pick their bride? Fewer girls making uguu~ noises in favor of dependable housewife girls?

The Japanese war machine is a thing to be feared

Anon, this IS the topic; OP just said the stupid thing's cancelled and >>768208 really made us think, you know? Since 2D wouldn't be pure if Nippon got AIDS, a thread with this kind of analysis is nice every once in a while. I wonder if this all is a forecast for more comfy and wholesome material, because if things went in the other direction we'd have to strap in for more mid-season-drop doozies than we're prepared to handle.

Birthrates have been up in recent years. It's almost like an island nation smaller than California and consisting of 75% mountainous forests can't support endless amounts of people being crammed into the few cities it has. If the Japanese government succeeds in forcing an endless population growth like they seem so desperate to do then Japan's death will be it's own doing, not Korea's.
