It's worth noting, for context, that Akamatsu is a major fighter for creators rights surrounding manga, so what he says is genuinely something with weight to it.

I dont. And never did honestly. It feels cheep and sorta... gross? I think. A lot of them blatantly echi. It kinda hilarious Ken Akamatsu while fighting for creators rights ignores the problem with those covers. Though from what I heard about his mangas its not surprising.

How on earth is the gravure industry connected to creators rights? It's not Akamatsu's place to judge how publishers advertise themselves.

And also, he writes romcoms and battle manga with ecchi. That's his choice.

Whoa people actually angry over doubtness that female bodies should serve to sell teenage comics mag...

Whoa people actually angry over doubtness that female bodies should serve to sell teenage comics mag... AMAZING. Anyway I get what Akamatsu try to do but I believe this argument he used isnt good. Thats all.

I don't exactly understand why it should be a problem for teenage boys comics. Honestly, I don't think teenage boys needs to be more protected from that images than adult men.

Maybe your problem is with "using" female bodies to sell comics.

I've understand that could be annoying for some people, especially if they are women.

However, many men are too interested in female bodies, so products directed to them will have a big focus on that.

The same basis apply to products directed to women, which will focus on things that interests them.

If you are that much butthurt about the idea of sex sell, I can't imagine how furious you will be about another opinion that guy has which I don't fully agree with.
