Photos of Nude Children in Akiba: “Bring It On, Agn*s!”

Photographs of naked girls as young as 6 are being sold in Akihabara, with signs in a shop challenging none other than Japan’s top moral crusader Agnes Chan: “Bring It On, Agn*s!” – the situation, and the photographs, can be inspected below.
The book, “Human Motion,” is on sale in Akihabara bookshops, and the the shelves bear the legend:
“Buy it for your sketches, right?! Honestly!! Bring it on, Agn*s!”
The book includes both nudes and the all-important school uniform and sukumizu…
It is of course a perfectly innocent book intended to help illustrators needing to familiarise themselves with infant anatomy, which as any properly trained artist knows includes nudes (and apparently also scenes of undressing and school swimwear).
Meanwhile, at the other end of the country Osaka’s Nipponbashi bookshops seem to be doing a roaring trade in the tomes, though without the provocative marketing:
Although for some inexplicable reason not photographed, the book also features similarly instructive pictures of little boys – in fact boys aged 0, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 12 are featured, whereas girls are only featured at ages 6 and 12.
Jealous Americans tempted to whine about the perversion of the Japanese should note that Amazon.com and other major book retailers have long been unrepentant sellers of books of “artistic” nudes featuring at times provocatively posed pubescent boys and girls – nudity and pornography are two quite different things, a fact repeatedly affirmed even by US courts.

Aw, so cute! Not aroused a bit by real kids.
why would americans complain? They have pictures of nude children all over their Huggies products.
They are right. Nudity and porn are two different things. As long as their are no little girls having sex in it, than it really isn't immoral. (Unless you start masturbating to the images. But I like drawn naked children. Real naked children disturb me.)
Didn't they actually ban nude loli photo artbooks years ago? I figured this would fall under the same umbrella, though I guess it's "reference for art" and not "art."
anyone deriving any pleasure from the above depictions has some serious issues...
lol best part
"bring it on agne chan" xD
on another note:- if people thinks this is porn or used for fapping material, then you sir need to consult your nearest psychologist, that is a reference book, dumb shit clone moral fags.
yeah you are right. Its normal and just for artistic references for a 8 year old to split her legs so you see her pants and other poses thats clearly there for "service photos" and just not for normal references. Especially in japan where loli shit is big.
You dont think anyone will fap to that? You sir are the ignorant one. There are pedophiles around which just take photos of kids in parks and do nasty stuff. Now they can buy books of 6 year olds and its legal?
If you have a computer with those photos and the police would look at your comp you would be classified as a pedophile.
Fucking nasty those who say this is ok. I dont say you guys are pedos or anything but you are just stupid if you think this is ok.
LOL!! Not fappable material, loli >>>> real children. Actually I think the pics are too damn cute and makes me want to have a kid =// (for pure reasons you freaks)
But kids aren´t always that cute. Remember that.
in fact, most of the time they're not!
We were kinds too.... one long time ago....
The only kids that will remain kids are the ones in Gensokyo!
Bring it on, Agn*s! <-- epic win
I know it's not possible, but as long as this is mostly targeted toward teachers and parents I'm okay.
I can see why they'd only have pictures of boys for the earliest years - there really isn't a physical difference between the two at that age.
Calm down everyone its just children in those pictures!
I see no problem with that book. you perverts are just looking at it the wrong way.
Also, Anatomy is a bitch.
It is indeed ;_;
Anatomy class was pretty hard, but if we had this as our textbook, I would have been even harder.
i don't farking believe this!
these Japanese needs to stop this farking bullshit with loli and kids.
I mean what the fark? ok fine your theory about school is the best thing in life that is why they love school girls.
but why loli and kids?
fucking paedophiles
and exactly what did you see when you saw this book ? if you saw something as a pornographic or something used for only getting off with, then you truly are a sick fuck and don't even deserve to mention japan.
You realize that in the USA you can legally buy more books with more child nudity in them than this Japanese book, don't you?
This books seems to have only a few pages of babies in the nude. You might as well arrest most of the parents in the USA, since many have similar pictures.
Japan actually have MORE prohibitions against actual child nudity than the 'good old' USA.
Go back to Florida and burn your Qurans, you book burning fool.
lol win
Oh... should we burn the Bible as well? But they don't have anything close to porn in them.... except THAT part in the Koran and THAT in the Bible....
Gasp.... Porn is as old as time!
So we shouldn't worry about 2D loli porn, as it is porn, it will be around much longer than OBA-CHAN.... and since we're all younger than OBA-GNES-CHAN we'll be there to see more...
FAPTASTIC!
^ Awesome
lawl bring it on agnes seriously who gives a fuck about that bitch anyway? Why are they acting like shes so important and all.
As an artist with numerous anatomy books, I really don't get a "pedo" vibe from this EXCEPT for the girl in the swimsuit undressing... that will probably be used for doujinshi, I'm sure... but aside from that, these are all pretty innocent.
You know, I'd even support this, but it'd be better to not give so much publicity to it, if you don't want moralfags to start bitching about it.
FUCKIN PEDOPHILE JAPS ARE BACK!!
And a russian nuclear bomb is ready for them.
that's honestly pretty sick. if you can't figure out how to draw a blobby loli by walking around downtown you probably should try a different career. I'd try and lecture you guys on artistic integrity and how there's no good reason to look at naked 8 year olds but you wouldn't care and I like any hentai that's not obviously a 12 year old so whatever I guess.
Just time to legalize CP. Let's be real here: if children don't want to pose nude or in sexual situations for people.... THEY WILL GO WHINING TO THEIR PARENTS OR SOMEONE ELSE!
You simply cannot force a child into JACK SHIT today, unless:
1. You use physical force to do it, which makes ANYTHING wrong.
2. You have some 'blackmail stuff' on them. In which case, the child has to say to themselves "Hmm.... is posing nude worse than being busted?" and if they say "No!".... just take the damned consequences and stop trying to bullshit people into believing they were forced into anything!
Die you sick cunt.
Only if you die with me. ;)
Oh go away if you are just going to tell people to die.
You have a good point there.
It will only be a matter of time before this appears on the internet. And once it does all hell will break loose.
I wish we had more picture books of nude asian babies.
Pffff Lolicon's better.
Yet, I'm surprised that these books didn't contain anything sexual-related.
Is there any place I can download a free copy of this book like a pdf file? Because I don't live in Japan and I have no clue where to buy this in America.
Yes I like little girls and boys.
BUT when you think about it which would you rather have?
A: people running around raping little kids thus causing them physical harm just to fulfill there urges
OR
B: people just jerking off to pictures of nude children which causes no actual harm to the child.
Also don't start with all that mental health crap, they take their clothes of, pose for the camera, the camera takes the picture, they get dressed, get whatever they where offered, and they are off on their merry way. If anything I say it's good for everyone.
Ah a fellow child lover. I see the point you are trying to make and I agree with you. I can only hope that others will see what your saying and realize that this is very good argument. Most likely you will be thumbed down and/or get comments telling you to die and calling you a sicko.
Good luck
PS: I would also love a to be able to download this.
I...don't see anything wrong with it.
Maybe I'm just desensitized after crawling through the channel and seeing much worse.
Maybe it's because I think little girls are actually kinda cute without their clothes on. Especially shy, embarrassed ones.
Maybe I am a pedo.
Maybe...maybe.
Still, an artist does need reference material in order to do certain things. Can't imagine what he'd need nude young girls for, but so long as it's tasteful, I won't mind.
One person's 'tasteful' is another person's not. Frankly, SUBJECTIVE VIEWPOINTS should be left the hell out of discussions of law.
Huh? Did the two of us do anything wrong? Why downvote our comments? Be honest.
now 3D are just wrong.
No were just provoking the Oba-Chan.... SO that our battle ends once and for all....
TAKE THAT AGNES CHAN!!!
this is art
Any and all forms of nudity and porn (whether 2d or 3d) are forms of art. Pictures are just that, PICTURES. If Agn*s takes out art, backlash WILL ensue. In b4 raiding her "artistic" shota and BL collection
fapfapfapfap
this is very pedo
let the war begin...
blah are those the worst pictures in the book? Please infant nudity from the side...blah not even worth downloading....;)
The store selling it even admits that it is pornography meant for pedophiles, and many of the populace here attempt to hide behind it being artistic.
Figures.
The store selling it admits nothing and the store owner knows as much about the book as you do so what he thinks is irrelevant.
fap fap fap fap fap
Whoever wrote that legendary line deserves to be hailed as hero! I even vouch for his candidacy for the PM if needed! Seriously, Japan needs people like him/her.
This is sick.
Do you realize what you're saying? You're saying innocence and the human body are sick. Who is the person with the real perverse thoughts here?
I don't see naked children as sex objects. Perhaps you do. I am not aroused in the least. We as a society have demonized something natural, beautiful, and that harms no one, all because of western puritan culture. We are twisting good things into bad things, and bad things into good things. Treating something as forbidden fruit will only make it that much sweeter to even the most ordinary of people.
Nudity ≠ Sex ≠ Pornography ≠ Lewdness
As for its true intents of what it is being sold for, that's another matter.
So if I were to order this from the amazon link provided in the post, would I be like arrested or have my house searched?
I mean do they search packages?
Is it time for WWIII? Otaku vs Agnes-Chan?
It's THE INTERNET vs Ages-chan *vomits when saying the "chan" part*
I dont see anything wrong in this book.
Girls make taking off your shirt look so damn hard. Just grab it by the neck and pull up?!
"nudity and pornography are two quite different things, a fact repeatedly affirmed even by US courts"
Didn't stop the party van from raiding Jock Sturges studio just to make sure they are two very different things.
That toddler is so CUTE!!
What?! You mean you don't see that toddler in a sexual way?? You, sir, are SICK.
/sarcasm
I know! I just want to take her home!
Like Hard Gay said : Bachikoi!!!
HOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~!!!!
Of course, you should keep in mind that, even as we speak, there are perverts out there fapping to the children in this book.
Food for thought.
There are perverts that fap to the bible too because rule 34 is obsolete. Should we stop the bible from getting published too.
Rule 34 would like to meet you. IF that was true then EVERYTHING should be banned :D
Of course, you should keep in mind that, even as we speak, there are perverts out there fapping to just about fucking everything you can think of.
Fixed.
People will pleasure themselves to anything, why would this be any surprise at all?
Exactly. Take a look at this. ^_^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdfMu77sYH4
of course there are
but does that mean that such books shouldn't be sold ?
I don't think so
I am going to assume you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. its going to take a crap-ton of REAL multi megaton nuclear weapons to completely obliterate a country like Japan, not your peashooter kiloton bomb(s) from NK... good job, thanks for starting WWIII, now the USA, Japan and Korea(SKorea since NKorea would no longer exist if that happened) will duke it out with China.
Please proceed to your designated Vault-Tec Vault at that point.
I will say that it takes not much to make Japan sink with a well place nuke little loser who knows I assume jack shit about geology.
how about getting that stick out your ass and shoving it your head, to be a hero.
Don't just bark, bite it then.
How about killing fags like you! Loser!
Gauntlet: thrown!
DUN DUN DUN
Now let's see how many normfags and hysterical parents are going to shriek out of this..
over 9000!!!
I hope somebody gonna scan this book
I need high-res of that stripping loli, great material for ero-drawing
If you find a scan of this can you give me the link/download?
I can smell child neglect...
Any parent who allowed this for there is just sick.
on most of the pictures they are in swimsuit.
it is not nude.
com on you can do better then that.
It's a picture book about human anatomy.Perfectly legal.Just because I may get a boner from it doesn't mean a thing.
It means you are shit that betrayed God for your boner if your own self gratification and that of his daughter ruler of Venus. So die fucker!
The Bible says pedophilia is an okay.
And that homosexuals should be stoned.
I read the Bible.
Don't tell me you are one of those idiots from Equality Now or one of those religious weirdos. Seriously, GTFO and learn some common sense before you spout this bullshit.
fuck you and die! I will curse you with death! You know nothing of the Necronomicon fag idiot!
I dont think Agn*s will do anything about this. It's not CP, at least i think it's not...
Its not... anyone who thinks it CP should complain to God for not granting them a working brain... or at least a logical one.
God has thus produced a large quantity of scrap.^_^
woof ... invoking jock sturges eh? that's digging your heels in deep right from the starter's gun :P
Nudity and porn are two different things to sane* people.
*keyword
Nobody seems to be sane anymore :(
Mainly Americans, they're always QQing about how art and harmless nudity is pornography.
...How big is their porn industry again? Me thinks there be a conspiracy.
"u cant haz nude but we can cuz we merican... FOOTBALL!!"
I can imagine it'd be something like that.
Haha! yeah that sounds about right.
...so does anyone know how to get this book in america? cause it really would help a lot trying to draw people, i suck at that currently...
T.T
Anon, you're sounding ridiculous... Like the article says, artistic nudes has been cleared in the US by law many a times before.
Anyway, artistic nudes of children is always a hot topic issue everywhere, not just in the US.
Don't know anyone in my part of America that has something against nudity.
I do love me some football.
i thought i should say something, if the government gives free health care, i'm all for it. id rather die due to incompetence, than due to people wanting me dead so they don't have to pay.
what a butthead you are Elc.
you sure as heck don't watch
Fox News being a left wing moron
who is happy with the health care bill.
we understand the difference between art
and smut, you don't understand the difference
between being a commie and an american being
that the left has left out the truth in your
education.
Femnazis, manginas and moralist preachers are everything, but not sane.
@anon 18:45 haha, over-generalizing are we? and i doubt those xenophobic paranoid ignorant FOXNEWS watchers really count as "Americans". I think those kinds of people are what is commonly called "Stupid People", and the last time i checked, being a stupid person doesnt tie any nationality or worthy ideals to you. it just means you are a detriment to the gene pool, destined to be controlled like puppets by people that have at least a little intelligence.
I agree with Schrobby, though i think your comment could be worded better.
for a sec looking at the B/W book cover... i was thinking "ITS A TRAP!"...
oh... one last comment... people need to learn the difference between fiction and reality. for those of you that cant tell the difference, sorry to break it to you, but Santa Claus isnt real, he is just a random guy strapped for cash working at the mall, sorry to bust your bubble...
"Mr. Santa, why dont you bring presents to me every year?"-Hayate
"Because your family is poor!"-Santa
wow lotsa butthurt americans voted anon down haha
@Anonymous 18:45
You mean handegg, not football?
He honestly doesn't know what he's talking about though.
