  • wanted manga (comics) and illustrations should be subject to regulation for child pornography.

    • To which, presumably, manga will adapt the way they adapted to the famous no-pubic-hair Article 175: by diving into every loophole. The childlike characters in pornographic manga originally surfaced because adult nudes, with pubic hair, could not be depicted.
