Comment on Prefecture Banning Ero-Shoujo Manga as “Harmful” by Artefact:

They already have such a mark, but putting it on your product is not going to help sales…

• Prefecture Banning Ero-Shoujo Manga as “Harmful”:
  

  Regulation is just a covert ban in such cases. If you make it harder to sell, less of it can be made. If they made it so customers had to show an ID ans provide written consent, and could only buy from shops in a special “XXX zone”, what effect do you think it would have on sales? This is economic censorship.

  The original source I came across was worded to suggest she died, but some double-checking against other sources does suggest this was in error – I’ve updated the article, although unfortunately it is still not clear whether she actually “rescued” her as such. Thanks for the correction!

  There’s a note announcing it has been released on the PSV the official site as of today: http://www.sisilala.jp/ The trailer, cards and other materials were intended to be illustrative of the game’s original version, sorry if that was not clear.
