well, at least he didn't insert his pedophilia into his work.

This certainly gives unfortunate context on why all the women in the series (who were supposed to have fighting skills, mind) were sidelined out of anything important and constantly shown as lesser while the actual 10 year old boy was treated as an equal member of the heroes team, which was pretty grating on the reread to begin with. :sigh:

Certainly hard to recommend the series to anyone ever again despite the many great, iconic things about it. Even I don't want to read anything new even if he is allowed to resume work at some point. poo poo sucks.

i'm not sure what correlation there is between his pedophilia and standard shounen fighting manga tropes.

dude's gross but it seems like the criminal justice system has it covered. i don't really see the point of scrutinizing everything watsuki has written to find hints about something we already know.

there are lots of mangaka whose works i like. i would have vastly preferred none of them turned out to be pedophiles, but well, let it all come out.

I remember some years ago one of the AKB48 girls got caught having a boyfriend (gasp! the nerve of her!) and the producers basically forced her to shave her hair and make a tearful apology for her transgressions live on TV.


What I'm getting at is, while I like Japanese media (with some significant exceptions), their values as a society overall are all sorts of hosed up.

the hosed up parts of other societies often seem worse than the hosed up parts of your own, but rest assured your society completely blows in some ways too
