Taiwanese County Warns of Death Note, Others Defend It

The educational bureau of Pingtung County in southern Taiwan is asking teachers to watch for “negative influences” of the Death Note suspense manga and other extracurricular books on students and to “provide guidance to avoid unnecessary consequences.”

Death Note’s Taiwanese publisher Tongli Publishing and comics commentator Jo-Jo said that the manga is educational in its discussion of values of good and bad, as well as of life and death.

Ray’s take: Well, at least the people here are allowed some say in the passing of information. But It’s a illogical country to live in with way too many unwritten rules and a dishonest government with a money laundering president at the top. I haven’t seen any Death Note Standalone Complex crimes yet but it’s only a matter of time….Now, where’s my note?

About the Author

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.
