I wrote a very comprehensive post about this matter, but the fucking browsing session expired and I lost it all. *blaming the programmer*

I can't be arsed to write it again, so I'll just quote ComiPress here:

An illustrator named Masaya Miyashita (39) from Matsuyama city was arrested for creating and selling obscene manga. Police confiscated 6,600 manga during the arrest. According to reports, the artist ordered 17,000 copies of his work from a printing company in Okayama Prefecture, and even allowed doujin bookstores to sell the manga in Tokyo and Kanagawa last year.

Police estimates that Miyashita has been selling his works since early 2003, and so far has sold over 20,000 copies, earning approximately 15 million yen in profit. Other people and firms involved are also being investigated by the police.

Well, it seems more and more folks are being targeted for erotic manga related events, be it publishing it, writing it, or simply enjoying a good wank on it. What is this world coming to. Let it be known, without loli manga and anime we are seriously doomed, so mr. policemen, please be kind to these souls, kkthx?
