The English-language Mainichi Shimbun's WaiWai section
"Smells Like Little Girl Spirit in Raunchy Manga" contends
that steamy adult stuff are increasingly creeping into
shoujo manga for young girls. On the other hand,
some girls fight back that it is just fantasy, that only
uncool girls read those, or that it is even educational.
Some excerpts:
Tokyo housewife Yoshimi says she got the fright of her life
when she had a look at the type of manga her 12-year-old
daughter was reading.
What Yoshimi saw on those pages of that manga was a young
schoolgirl, her uniform ripped open to bare her breasts and
cords binding her to all limbs were extended. Behind the girl
stood a boy of about the same age who was rubbing between her
legs and inducing a look of sheer ecstasy on her face.
A third-year junior high school pupil is dismissive of the
attacks on shojo manga.
"Before adults get stuck in to attacking comics, they should
think about all the dirty sites on the Internet and all the
-related spam we get. They're much bigger problems," she
says. "You can see people getting down to the real thing in
those places. At least with manga it's clearly a fantasy world."
"Cool girls are already out with their boyfriends having
and couldn't give a damn about manga," a third-year junior high
schoolgirl from Kanagawa Prefecture says. "Just sitting there
reading a manga is proof that the girl is not cool, which
naturally means she hasn't got a boyfriend and isn't having .
Rather than being worried (by shojo manga), parents should feel
at ease."
"I'm less worried about when I lose my virginity, but how it's
going to happen. I want it to feel good and I suppose I've got
to satisfy my boyfriend, too. I don't want to have uncool ,
but, to be honest, I haven't got a clue about how to do it,"
she tells Sunday Mainichi. "When I look at the girls in the
shojo manga who are doing 'love play,' I'm amazed at how much
they know, I feel really jealous."
Laters. =)

Hmmm, that was kind of depressing, but then again teenagers
are stupid.

This is the equivalent of the National Enquirer or The Star. I don't
know why it always gets quoted everyone.

it is the same with American teen girls reading hot steaming romance
novels, just the prefer medium of the two cultures are different. I
certainly think the erotic part are purposely put in the materials to
increase sales. this is no different compare to "desparate housewives",
an American trash TV program. let's face it, and violence sells,
which is what I called the B. and B. factors. (blood and boobs) or why
Bay Watch is among the most popular export of American culture in the
world.

and the people who says that in the survey probably are the same one who
contribute to the high rating in the first place, it is kind of like
reading Playboy from cover to cover, then say it is a low class bad
influence junk when asked to give an opinion on the mag.

You are probably correct in your assertion.
