This is after the UK Reading Society issued a list of manga that they considered to be appropriate reading among teens, in their effort to encourage more reading. But The Mail said manga can lead to the reader's search for more violent and more pornographic manga, ending with crime. (Practically replaying the maxim about pot being a "gateway drug" for the harder stuff.)
All I can say about this is, "give me a break!" Reading manga does not lead to crime, and I haven't heard of anyone committing any crimes after reading violent or hentai manga. And their parents should already be aware of their child's reading habits, not to mention that most manga dealers know better than to sell hentai or violent manga to youths.
Any comment?
I was thinking the same thing because this sounds similar to the bullshit they have been giving video games for years.
