The manga version has got a loyal fan base because of the story and the characters, but the anime adaptation could have done much better. For the lovers of shounen-ai, the characters are pretty important, sometimes more than the plot. One of the main reasons why ‘Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu.’ is on this list is because the anime has got potential. Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu (2016) Now that they are reunited, Masamune vows to make Ritsu fall in love with him again since the latter had become reluctant towards love due to the heartbreak he received at school.
Later Masamune finds that Ritsu is his old schoolmate who had confessed to him. Ritsu wants to resign, but when his boss Masamune Takano calls him useless, he stays to protect his pride. He does get a job at the literary section, but it turns out he has been put in the shoujo manga department. He applies for a job in the Marukawa publishing company and hopes to get a position in the literary section. When he can no longer bear the jealous attitudes of his co-workers, he decides to quit his job and join another publishing company to prove his worth. He is quite good at his job, but still, people think that he has the job because his father is the owner. Ritsu works as an editor in his father’s publishing company. The protagonists of the anime are Ritsu Onodera and Masamune Takano. Two are anime series, one is a movie, and one is an Original Video Animation. There have been four anime adaptations of the manga. The notorious 4chan, with over 20 million visitors per day, is founded on Japanese sub culture and it's just one of many websites that discuss and swap anime.‘Sekaiichi Hatsukoi’ is based on a light novel that first came out in the year 2006. It should be noted that in addition to Japan itself, anime and manga comics are hugely popular throughout the world and are arguably one of the most dominant sub-cultures online. If you perform a simple Google image search for "anime girls", Google will deliver to you hundreds of pictures of sexy anime characters. Are we really going to pressure the Classification Board into classifying a huge chunk of a country's population as deviants? Or is it a cultural difference?
Many of them will be bringing similar content with them in comic books (manga) and on phones and laptops. Millions of Japanese tourists and business travellers come to Australia every year. If Australia classifies this game as child porn, then it is classifying the bulk of one of Japan's main cultural outlets as prurient and abhorrent. Secondly, the game represents classic Japanese-style anime (cartoons). The situation raises some very serious questions regarding Australia's Classification system (yet again) and also regarding cultural differences.įirstly, if the game does feature child porn, why does moving the rating from a PG rating to an MA15+ rating make everything alright? This comes off the back of complaints saying that the loosely-clad young girls that feature in the game are sexualised and under 16 and that this represents child pornography.
Kotaku is reporting that a major games retailer is stopping selling Dead or Alive: Dimensions, hoping to get it rated MA15+ instead of its current PG.
