2.5% of Children Not Erogamers, But 13% Don’t Deny?

Konata was actually just having trouble with her aircon whilst watching Ana.

The Mainichi “2.5% of children erogamers” story turns out to be fake scaremongering after all, and my scepticism seems correct; the lying hacks completely twisted the figures, in fact “adult games” was referring to the likes of GTA, and there was a separate category for “H games”, which they completely ignored, and the results? 0.7% admitted to playing them, though 12.4% (the highest non-response) declined to respond? Interesting.

This does however still leave 0.7% bold enough to admit it, and a lot of the sample unwilling to respond, so the true figure is anyone’s guess. I can’t help suspecting that the proportion actually sexually active is probably higher than these figures for eroge, so it does bring the whole thing into focus as mere media scaremongering anyway. The table in question is below, source here.

Eroge Novelisations Not Slipping

This is actually Hana to Hebi, a game adaptation of a novel, but still...

Those familiar with eroge and novels will know the two often intersect, with relatively frequent novelisations of erotic games being a feature of the genre; so it was with interest that I read a very firm rebuttal of the worry voiced that these conversions are slipping. Half Moon Diary provides a revealing graph, showing that novel releases are roughly stable at around 60 per year from two of the major publishers, and an impressive grand total of 540 titles since publishing got started in 1996. “官能小説 / sensual novels” are certainly popular in Japan, though I’m not sure these numbers comprise much more than a small fraction of the market, to say nothing of light novels and the like.
