Police have arrested 3 editors and the CEO of Core Magazine over the May issue of Comic Megastore, all on charges of distributing obscene material.
The 55-year-old director of Core Magazine and 3 of his editors-in-chief have now been arrested for illegally publishing obscene material, based on the 60,000 copies of the May issues of Comic Megastore and Toukou Nyan 2 Club sold.
According to the public safety division of the Tokyo police their CEO denies the charges, saying “we did lessen the mosaics as sales decreased when they where made thicker, but we ensured it was not enough to be considered obscene.”
Police have apparently previously rebuked the company for 18 incidences of “obscene” imagery in its many publications during the 2003-2011 period, but after amateurishly raiding their offices earlier in the year and allegedly making comments which suggested they viewed the company as a potential revenue source they have finally filed formal charges and made arrests.
Japanese law on what is considered “obscene” is largely ambiguous and so determinations of what constitutes illegal obscenity is largely left to the arbitrary whims of police – the main defence of the adult industry being the various quasi-governmental bodies it pays to say its mosaics are thick enough, and who perhaps not coincidentally employ plenty of retiring police officials.
Why Core Magazine was singled out for a shakedown when the it is business as usual for the rest of Japan’s vast and notionally illegal porn, brothel and pachinko industries – all of whom are known for paying a variety of thinly disguised tithes to police – is not known, but previous speculation centred on point-scoring prosecutors, or else naked extortion, as the likeliest explanation.

>“obscene” imagery
Please, I don't recall mosaics as "obscene" imagery.
Uncensored guy & girl having sex = OBSCENE
Mosaiced loli getting tentacle raped in the ass = NOT OBSCENE
That's Japan for you, a really fucked up place.
Forgot to pay the local cops so they don't do things like this out of boredom?
I still don't get what's wrong about selling porn to adults.
With all the mozaics in 2D and 3D porns, no wonder their men turns into herbivors.
They forgot to pay the yakuza backed task force their bribe money.
basically this. The mosaic wasn't too little, the bribe was.
yeah, who cares about censor anyway ? it's not like it's good for kids anyway after the mosaic -_-
Okasan, what are these men doing with the girl?
-They are... playing a game.. no, doing gymnastics!
Okasan, why are they naked and?
-Their clothes are being washed and they don't want sweat to get on the fresh clothing.
Okasan, what are those weird markings down there? I don't have them, is that bad?
-Don't worry. That's only there because it's too dirty and obscene for kids to see.
Okasan, why is that girl crying and wants them to stop?
-She got dirt into her eyes... and she wants it to stop hurting.
Okasan, why is there blood?
-She cut her finger on paper.
Okasan, there is no paper... but what is that white stuff?
-Whipped cream, but the sour one... Now don't ask any more questions, it's embarrassing...
When someone grows up in a censorship society they can become something far worse then a herbivore they become a spineless cunt.
They should just move overseas and send the comics by mail. When their porn money start leaking to other countries they will change the laws.
The law was created before way the world war, I think they left it intact, so the police can sack the porn-industry on a whim.
Because they want everyone going to real people for their pr0n, but at the same time they don't want to reduce the huge profits they receive from people attempting real-life relationships.
megastore sux anyways
megastore h on the other hand is much better
There won't be a Megastore H ,because they arrest the CEO of Core Magazine.
Cops in many countries are just another gang you pay racketeering fees too.
Kill cops
They should put all you people together in a big city, with NO cops.
See how you like what happens.
Well after several weeks of chaos they'll probably organize their own police force like in the old west days.
Ironically these old west style vigilante cops may be less crooked then the Japanese police in that they will only bother those who cause trouble.
I believe that place already exists; it's called russia. a land where the prisons are extreme, the cops are nonexistent and they video tape everything.
lol... cops do exist in Russia. Never seen how they take away those retarded FEMEN? If you say something against Russia, Putin, or the politics they fuck your life :D
Life without cops? Possible! People grow up in a civilized society with rules and taboos. Even if you suddenly abandon the law and take away the police, people won't just go around and rape/kill/eat/beat up others, or start stealing others belongings lol
Sure there are exceptions, some shit will happen, but most people will still live like usual.
It's another matter when "the inevitable end of the world" is announced or a zombie apocalypse gets real. Then, mass panic and anarchy are let loose.
detroit
atomic kaaapaaaaaa
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Atomic hit the nail on the head. Once towns started getting larger, volunteer forces were made. Since they actually had a stake in the city and gave a shit, they would be less prone to corruption.
Old joke:
Why did the sheriff bust the people running a meth lab?
He didn't want the competition.
Yeah, and they only bully groups that won't obviously fight back.
so what the hell is the point to add mosaics , to keep their mind pure ? or so they can have a heart-attack when they see the real thing ?
It's ironic that the censor strip barely covers anything. Japan has gone full retard.
i dont know but after reading fairy tail carefully and looking at the questions i allmost get heartattacks when i read your questions.
nothing is sacred in this world we live in

Kaze can you give us something smaller, cause this was hard to copy and paste.
Porn (-ish) Store Plan:
Step 1. Bribe cops.
Step 2. Sell stuff.
Step 3. Profit.
Step 4. Save money by reducing/eliminating bribes.
Step 5. Busted!
I feel sick. I feel like the other of the Ero-manga industries are going to make magazines more censored then they are was before.
RIP Comic Megastore and Toukou Nyan 2 Club ;_;
The mosaic!? Really.....?
Wow, considering they let AV titles barely censor anything anymore and label it as "hyper risky mosaic" and the like..
You can't do anything but shake your head that they would target a monthly comic for this..
What is going on? Don't cops know less porn means more rapist!
As far as most people are concerned, less men means less rapists.
Japan is now becoming a Gestapo nation.
The gestapo had very distinct rules who they were arresting and why, also were they not very bribable.
So japan is more likely to turn into a mob (as in mafia) country
It reminds of of the police in Chicago during the 1920 and 1930s.
yakuza police!
German police during hitler was not limited to the legal law. They could arrest you without a law. If they didn't like you during hitlers rule they arrested you.
Just what we need. A internet guy telling stories he/she/it wasn't alive at the time regurgitating what other's have told 'em to believe. Victors write the history. <-
The Gestapo enforced 2 largely enforced 2 specific laws. The law of 'Rassenreinheitsgebote' (race purity/segregation) and 'Schutz des deutschen Staates' (Protection of the german state).
Both had a meticulous catalogue of procedures which were methodically and rigidly enforced. Many of them were garbage scientifically or morally from todays standpoint but that is beside the point.
Just what we need, another internet guy/girl discounting information without any knowledge of the subject material besides what others have told him/her.
They still look back fondly to their alliance with the nazis.
i had a silent unwritten peace treaty with nazi's. probably still have if someone hasnt changed their minds.
she CANNOT close her eyes during a kiss.
It's like Apartheid South Africa.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Wouldn't be surprised if even the Gestapo didn't give a shit whether you fapped to porn or not.
