I wonder what manga is on that list.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=5816

The article is entitled "Child murder, incest and rape... is this really how our schools should be encouraging boys to read?

The UK Reading Soceity states that it has screened the manga to make sure that the content of the recommended titles is appropriate for 13-to-16-year-olds, but the Daily Mail goes on to suggest that the children will become hooked on manga and go on to seek more violent and pornographic manga.

heh

Schools are promoting reading manga now? It would be very interesting to see exactly which titles the mail is talking about, but theyre probly refering to some extremely light hearted jokes that you see in most manga.

I found out that my mum reads the mail the other day =( *shame*

I've found myself rowing with people in the UK about this.

They simply cannot accept that anything that looks like a cartoon can be meant for adults.

The Daily Mail is the c*ntiest far-right-iest paper in the UK.

I paraphrase one of the readers letters during the Conservative governments attempts to get rid of the Disabled Rights Bill :

"About time the government did something about these scrounging layabouts. They get cheap cars, what else do they want?"

It really is shocking stuff.

P.S. Doesn't the Bible have child murder and other dodgy happenings in it??

Yes it does, but it has so in a RELIGIOUS sense so that apparently makes it ok. :lol

Ummm...so let's say I watch the Care Bears and it's on television. I'll get hooked on TV and then I'll be prompted to seek out more violent and pornographic TV shows?

This is a classic example of a problem in logic...

Slippery Slope
This fallacy occurs when an argument states proposition “X” is unacceptable by stringing a sequence of increasingly unacceptable events which supposedly follow proposition “X.” A slippery slope is an illegitimate use of the "if-then" operator.

Angel Sanctuary = Incest, Violence, Rape, AND heavy religous overtone.

Probably Battle Royale or something -_-

The only way the UK could possibly question the safety of any manga would be due to papercuts. Or using the book as a weapon.

Paper can be quite deadly... :lol
I knew someone who cut herself on bread so anything is possible

Angel Sanctuary = Incest, Violence, Rape, AND heavy religous overtone.

Religious overtone = yes
does it appear in churches? = unfortunately no...

It appears in heaven and hell...... wait, what do you mean by appearing in churches?

Incidentally, Angel Sanctuary is also pretty good
