Runs in Dengeki Daioh g, but (old) chapters are also being uploaded here on NicoNico Seiga.

I didn't like this idea as well. I thought that Japan was making laws to prohibit the use of children in sexual content...

 

[kewl0210]

You know there's a magazine called Comic LO, right?

 

[TXC]

Sounds fun to me.

There is tastes for everything in this world.....

Well, it's to learn not take japanese laws seriously. They talk big about these kind of things, but don't do anything, actually.

Is the manga even lewd as people are making it seem?

Just to clarify, this series doesn't actually have anything sexual in it. It's a 4-koma in a shonen magazine where the main character is a lolicon, but there's nothing really "wrong" (and those quotes are not nearly big enough) with it. Comic LO is an actual ****** magazine, I have literally no idea how its publishers haven't been sued off the face of the planet yet.

First thing you see in a manga is its cover and title. It's impossible don't get the wrong idea. I wouldn't read, even less buy a manga with this title. Titles has to be created carefully.
This thread proves it, two people got the wrong idea when the manga, theoretically, is not sexual.

Manga industry is too strong in Japan. Every country has this kind of industry, which is above the law.

But people operate under the dont judge a book by its cover ideal.

 

[Doraku]

Ha, the company which owns Comic LO has been existing for several decades, I think. Too late to sue them now.

And I don't think Otaku industry is that massive to be somewhat influential in Japanese's politics or legal system (no, I don't have citation or sources, just a mere speculation). There are many shady stuff in Japan that are more atrocious than that, so I can see why Govt would do nothing. Same stuff, different countries.

and let's be honest, having controversial title can be a marketing ploy too. I don't find it as something surprising.

It's a utopia. People judge books by its cover. However, we're talking about the title here, more specifically, and the title is meant to describe what the story is.

 

[jagman1x3]

Bear in mind the title is probably a lot less controversial when it's not in the native language of the target audience.

Then it's less controversial in English than in Japanese? Trying to imagine how it sounds in Japanese... :S

Nah, I just meant they're less likely to know what it means. The actual Japanese title is Hshs Sasero, which I'm... actually I still have no idea what that means in this context (hshs = heavy breathing, yes it's probably sexual but still) but I can assure you it's not the same thing.

I see... Such an intelligent move, put a title that most of the people will not understand at first...

 

[TXC]

The cover screams romcom to me, not sexual content. I can easily point out a H cover when I see one.
