Comic books, known as 'Manga' in Japan, can be a fascinating look
into the mind of a typical Japanese businessman. I say man because
95% of comics are geared to please the male population. Subjects
cover a broad range, but two fairly common themes are how women
are perceived, (or how men fantasize them to be) and lots of violence.
Not unlike western comics, women always seem to have exceptionally
large breats. However American comics have more strict definitions
as to comics suitable for the general population and adult comics.
Over here, there doesn't seem to be any boundary. General comics
are full of pornography and scenes of violence that you wouldn't
find in the pages of Spiderman or Batman. Children and young adults
can and do regularly read this material, making you wonder what
kind of morals it's giving people growing up here....
