I noticed that the Sexuality board gets far more posts so I decided to start an Ero manga thread ( ´ ▽ ` )
Does anyone else actually physically buy ero manga? I've always thought "it's stupid to buy porn," but ero manga feels like art as well...there's a craft and a soul behind it. I like to buy stuff in english from Icarus Publishing, and Comic LO and doujinshi from Japan. (since we won't have lolicon printed in English...well, mayhaps in the future. I'd start a company myself with my family estate money, but I don't speak a lick of japanese)
I rather have it digital, you can set the art on your desktop using comic viewer,which is great.
The guy with the money doesn't necessarily need to speak Japanese, just has to recruit people who can, for business deals and for translation.
Anyway, good luck getting something like LO in the current climate where people are being arrested for importing that shit themselves.
porn/hentai is just a temp use-thing...not worth the buy
[how fun is it reading...no plz do NOT put that in me no no aaaaahh mmm plz go on...OVER AND OVER]
oh
i did buy savage sword of conan
mostly got it coz of the awesome nude whores/princess/randomnudegirls art [and the VIOLENCE]
Speaking from my own experience, I have to admit that all that loli eromanga I have has only been read once, with the exception of a couple of special pieces of fap material.
>arrested for importing that shit themselves.
arrested? no one's been arrested, except for Dwight Whorley, and that was only because he also possessed actual CP, and was on parole for previous sex offender charges
I wouldn't buy anything that I'd probably only 'read' for five or so minutes. The only Ero material I buy are Visual Novels or anything with a decent plot.
>>6 There was a guy in AU who was stopped at the airport for only possessing drawn stuff.

What the fuck? Forgive me for my ignorance because I've never gone past through customs but do they often check your luggage that thoroughly? I mean I understand checking for drugs, weapons, but reading or going through pictures is a bit 'wtf'.
>>9
I'm sure it was just a random check. Certainly they don't thoroughly go through there, although when I went through my bag had to be opened, although they were checking for food... allegedly.
There are ero manga with plots.
I especially like the kind with darkly humorous plots.
To this day Yamamoto Kumoi's "Usual Play" and "Final Half-Year" still make me lol.
And that one from Comic AG by Kirikaze where a guy rapes the girl in the bathroom, and then looks over at the bag she dropped and finds it's a package of AIDS medication.
>>11
Yeah I didn't actually mean that they were just for fapping to but I haven't come across many.
I remember reading Tokyo Red Riding Hood or something along those lines, it was pretty interesting. Haven't finished it though but it was a loli ero-manga. It's a must read.
just one thing
if u take ur HIV/AIDS medication
its hard to infect someone with it
so if the medication didnt come from[those bad crapastic aids helpmeds they send to]africa
ur safe
so its actually better to see someone with aids medication if ur gonna rape her/him
if u just pick random bigger chance to get sick

In some states sex offenders on parole are completely forbidden from possessing any kind of pornography. And I understand the definition of porn is as broad as the parole officer likes it to be. I can just about imagine somebody going back to jail for the fanservice in regular manga.
>>15
luckily none of us here are sex offenders, or so I imagine
Icarus's "A Wish of my Sister" came out today. I think it's amusing that they claim "All characters depicted yada yada 18 and over..." on the back of the book, even though the main character is CLEARLY an underaged shota. Can't wait till me local comics store gets in my order for it.

That's funny, I always felt porn had greater re-use value than story-oriented stuff. Because with a story, it's like, "Ok, I've read it. I know what happens." You experience those feelings of drama, suspense, and excitement only once. But with porn, you can come back over and over again and always get the same feelings of horniness.
There's an exception for GREAT stories, of course.
Where the hell did this "porn is more OK to pirate than other stuff" idea come from in the first place? It seems totally arbitrary.
