Tokyo’s governor Ishihara has denounced mangaka as “despicable” for daring to write saucy manga, despite having written scores of trashy rape novels himself.
In the same legislative question time which saw him concede his administration was begging the boycotters of his Tokyo Anime Fair to return, he was quick to show his utter contempt for mangaka all the same.
After Ishihara revealed the fact of his asking for them to return, the DPJ legislator who posed the question (and who incidentally voted for the ban along with the rest of his worthless party) shot back with the following:
“Didn’t you tell the publishers ‘they can stay away forever for all I care!’ and say to mangaka ‘their activities are despicable!’ – do you think they want to work with you now, after you said those things?”
Ishihara shouted back that he really did think them a vile sort:
“I may have called them despicable, but with stories depicting teachers living with their students, parent and child incest, sibling incest and so on, I really do think anyone making money by writing those kinds of twisted sexual stories is a despicable person.”
Coming from a man whose writing career is based on rape novels packed with sexual slavery and perversion, which happen to be completely exempt from the ban, critics have been quick to point out that this latest diatribe represents the very heights of hypocrisy.
A translation of the now infamous “shoji” passage from Ishihara’s novel “Season of the Sun”:
His body still dripping water from the bath he had just taken, Tatsuya decided it was time for Eiko. He draped the towel round his naked torso, and called to her through the shoji [Japanese-style paper screen door].
“Eiko-san.”
When he felt Eiko was looking in his direction, he thrust his erect penis through the paper door. The paper tore with a dry sound, and Eiko, who had been reading a book, threw the book with all her might at the door. The book hit its target and slid to the floor.
In that instant, Tatsuya’s whole body tightened with pleasure. He savoured the pleasure of being resisted by another human. He opened the door and went inside…

Somebody should just turn his erotic novels into manga form and sell them in the next comike. And see what he thinks.
I agree with you that would show how big a hyppocrite he really is by showing a depiction of his stories. From what I did read of that little translation I find his work to be quite off putting, its no wonder he's so resentful towards mangaka.
And then turn it to anime, and sell them like pancakes!
I liek your idea.
i begin to draw ;D
next issue:
ishihara erect penis is smaller than 1 cm!
1 Didgit Midget!! ROFL!!
Am I the only one wondering why no one with even a BIT of common sense has stood up to this guy? All he does is rediculous stuff so why isn't there some other politician to just stand up to him, that person is bound to gain massive popularity after all...
Because there is no way to win this debate in public. No matter what you say, no matter how good your case may be, all the negative connotations on ero manga and all the stigmas on sexuality are weapons for your opponent. It's the same family of fallacies as "think of the children" and it's just as effective in public.
Most people are closed minded bigots. You can't fight that.
you can easily win by reading a couple passages out of his book for all to hear, that'll shut him up for a while.
well, mentally digest this for a bit and you'll start to get your answer; it took the Japanese public 50+ years just to take the party Ishihara is nominally a part off out of power.
Japan frankly has a worse "perpetually sustain the ingrained politicians" than the West has.
no one plays the political game unless they know the right people, are part of the same groups, and owe a few favors to the right "organizations" of various sorts.
and because of that, only the same people over and over again play the game.
it would take a major power move by the DPJ to even think about unseating Ishihara, but unfortunately after a brief period of activity a few years ago after toppling the LDP, the DPJ have since shown themselves to have the political spines of an earthworm.
this very issue.
before when Ishihara tried this, the DPJ shot him down instantly.
this time, the political climate hasn't actually changed. they have enough political pull in tokyo to have stopped this. public opinion was by a landslide against it. and what does the DPJ do? they fold like paper and give Ishihara whatever he wanted.
oh except for demanding a vague pinky swear promise that he (Ishihara) won't abuse the new legislation.
Yes. People with common sense stand up to this guy. It's the people organizing and planning to show their stuff at ACE.
FUCK YEAH to them!
THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! MY CHILDREN ARE BEING TURNED INTO SEXUAL PERVERTS, AND I BLAME YOU!!!!
no logic will penetrate this defense. any logic will be rebutted thus:
THE CHILDREN!!!!!!
can't beat that. no one can.
FUCK the children!!!
...oh wait, that came out wrong.
What are you talking about "THE CHILDREN" were already coruppted before the whole thing with the manga started. Besides I kind of thing it's rather idiotic of him saying that rape novels good while rape manga is bad. I mean it's the same damn thing! In a way of course.
Heh...children need a good old fashion fucking...most kid's asses are too big these days, and that can't be for their own good.
how could they have corrupted the children? nobody BOUGHT his novels, that's why he started on this stupid mission of his
more like, your F***ing rape novels corrupted the children and you know it you damn Hypocrite!
this could be a lesser of two evils kind of thing.
he may be in office only because his opponent is even more fucking insane than he is.
You know, the Japan is that kind of society when you go against a high profile person such as a governor your life in Japan will become uncertain very soon, his people will hunt you down, you will lose your job, you will lose everything 'till you commit suicide.
Can someone tell me WTF is wrong with that guy?
:-/
He's a retard.
He has corrupt DNA.
he just a tsundere old man..
You know most people his age die why can't he just die already?
He's.......old
Hes compensating for the fact that he can't stand/
He's on frickin' dope:S
He is a troll
Well, to me this guy, Ishihara, is an anti-democrat, totalitarian fasicist who wants to control everthing in Japan's (n this case: Tokyo) daily life for everyone, since he thinks that nobody can think for themselves; everything that he doesn't like is unhealthy for Japan, and will be prohibited. Now it's the manga, anime, videogames, but later the movies and music industry will be the next victim if this goes on like this. Ishihara may want to spread his political ideas beyond Tokyo, if he becomes the Prime-Minister of Japan his political ideas will be spread and executed in whole Japan.
This poor old has his selected memories syndrome. :P
In the first picture, Ishihara looks like he's jacking off someone's cock...
There's nothing wrong with him, he's just telling us that this censorship is what all true warriors STRIVE for.
Idiot! This old, delusional, moronic dinosaur really needs to get a life. By the way, I want to see his sad face again!
his life is to piss the youth off.
He really doesn't have a life so he is jealous of the Otaku community & is just bashing anything connected to them on a daily basis to fill the void that is his shitty non existent life...
Too bad nobody's really listening to this farce of a human being, if he can even be called such a thing...
His life should be constantly sitting on the toilet since he full of shit.
wait wait wait i know why he wanted the manga ban.
Because no one bought his crappy novels so hes pissed
You call them despicable and yet you want them to stop boycotting? The hell are you smoking?
STFU Ishithara, go write some rape novels or something. GTFO of the stage.
I think Ishihara played WAY Too much Heroin Hero.
With not being able to catch the dragon, he blames it on Anime/Manga.
something good, i'm sure. dude is off his fucking balls.
Hes smoking weed in the dead of night while fapping to his rape novels...
But he has no dick o_o
solvent! (°A°)
Must've been hurt like hell if the book hit the target... :S
depends on the book, and how it hit.
a manga size book would only slightly hurt if it hit with the spine, the rest... well... as the saying goes
"your resistance only makes my penis harder"
idk... rape novel size maybe different
Throw a dictionary at ishithara so he can look up the definition of faggot. He will be that definition.
beware paper cuts.
I think The Rock should give Ishithara a personal ticket to the "Smackdown hotel"
This old fart deserves an Attitude Adjustment. We shall whoop his old, stupid, smelly, stinky, sorry candy ass!
Yellow Pages?
The next contract will have no strings attached if you fulfill my dearest wish right now....
But she threw the book with all her might. Omfg... >.<
The mightier, the better?
maybe he is masochist..
Someone should turn every single rape novel he made manga/doujin format...
He must be jealous he can't draw or something...
If he really wanted his novel's sales to go up, he should have just turned them into doujins to appeal to the newer generations...
Making a ban and starting sh*t up and begging for certain anime companies to return while insulting the hell out of them is a f*cktarded move...
"Healthy development of youth" my ass...All he cares about is upping his political standing (and his rape novel sales)...
Really...What a xenophobic, sh*t-minded, tsundere hypocrite...

Not as much as that hammer would...a girl playing whack-a-mole with erect penises through a paper door isn't something you see everyday.
Neither do you want to experience, unless your masochistic tolerance is on a different level of human beings.
The thought of it is almost as terrifying as your avatar...
Oddly enough, Megidola, when I see your avatar, it looks like Miya's laughing at the Laughing Kyubee instead of being terrified...
It seems to be fun to grab a hammer and whack those penises
The Laughing Kyubee looks both disturbing and ridiculous, so I guess fear and laughter would both be appropriate responses...
@Megidola Like what I've done to my eyes?
Ow ow ow
