Manga Censorship Panel Liveblog

This is a special panel discussing the various issues facing manga censorship in Japan. With the advent of the Youth Ordinance that passed in Tokyo recently, this panel features several speakers who were active in opposing the law and are on the front lines of navigating the tough issues on the subject.

Panelists include Yukari Fujimoto (Meiji University), Daniel Kanemitsu (Translativearts.com), and Takashi Yamaguchi (attorney from Tokyo), and is moderated by CJ Suzuki (City University of New York). This is a more academic conference than most panels.

  1. These FUCKING NGOs needs to fight for issues in Africa more. These DUMB cowardly losers are just too scared to do it, though.

  2. (sighs) The only thing I can think about is, that U.S. lived through eight years of Bush, so I can only imagine that Japan would eventually work through their issues.. so it is as hopeful as events on how they passed gay marriage in New York.. so perhaps later then? Thanks for the live post.
