Awkward, Porn, Manga and Kids: Destroy it with fire

Destroy it with fire

By loli-conned - 21/06/2009 22:10 - United Kingdom

Today, I was shopping for my little sister's birthday. She loves manga. I've never read manga, so I bought a couple of novels from the "popular" shelf. Turns out if they have white covers it means they are "adult" books. I bought my sister a "lolicon" manga - filled with prebuscent naked girls. FML

Today, my little sister got into my anime DVDs, probably thinking they were cartoons. She watched High School DXD, which isn't the best anime for a 6-year-old. Now she wants to be the Breast Dragon Emperor for Halloween and Dad is threatening to set fire to my entire collection. FML

Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML

Today, while checking through the graphic novel section of my library, I noticed a gay manga porn comic. While I was wondering who in the world would ever RENT such an item, I realised I had been staring at it for a full five minutes and people were watching me. FML

Today, my brother's girlfriend came over to visit and we got to talking about books. Thinking she'd be interested, I suggested a few. She responded that she "only reads good literature." The only books I've ever seen her read are Fifty Shades of Gray and the Twilight saga. FML

Today, I bought my niece a plush My Little Pony figure for her birthday. Only after she unwrapped it did I realize that it was meant to be a sex toy for grown men. FML

Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML

Today, I went to the shops with my little sister. We had to walk through the lingerie section of the store to get to another part. My sister then yelled at the top of her voice, "Stop following me, you freak." I had security escort me out of the store, and got many dirty looks. She thought it was hilarious. FML

Today, I went to the bookstore and saw a stunning girl reading. I walked over and picked up a book, thinking our two books were the same category, hence a good conversation starter. She looked at me, and I pointed at my book and smiled. After that, she left. It was a sex position book. FML

Today, my little brother went through all the artistic anatomy reference books and colored in all the nipples and penises with a bright pink sharpie. These books were from the library. FML

Today, I found a piece of erotic fiction on my brother's computer. It involved two lesbian teenagers, who just so happened to have the same names and physical descriptions as my sister and me. FML

I think you should have looked. That's what I would've done.

Everyone's gotta see naked girls sometime. But you could've [should've] asked a sales person if you've never bought Manga before. Or at least found one age appropriate. Sure you didn't get the color code, but you could always ask. Or flip through it. Or the old "ask her what her favorite is". At least you know she read it? I get books all the time when people are like, "Oh, you like fiction right? Here's these books about wizard-wannabes." I never read them.

LOL, I like manga too. When I was eleven, my dad did the same thing as you, and i ended up with a fetish manga where an old man was screwing a teenage boy and it showed all the internal organs... eugh...

White covers doesn't mean their adult books. Fruits Basket has a white background cover, but it's T+. There's a rating on the back of the book, idiot.

Actually, considering all genres of manga and anime, ****-related stuff only makes up 10% of the ENTIRE subject, maybe less.

The bookstore near my house has the area where there's a curtain on a doorway that's largely marked "ADULT SECTION." But then again, I'm a Japanese living in japan, so things are probably different where OP is from. But all those comments saying manga is all just perverted shit pisses me off. I'm no anime fan, but here in japan, anime is huge, obviously. We have this channel on tv called "kid's station".. All that Naruto, pokemon, Detective Conan stuff are on there. I used to watch it like crazy(really liked "Kekaishi") . Anyway, point being, so much of anime is directed at kids. Not all of it's hentai. But it's true you can find a lot of messed up shit in hentai comics. Can't deny that. As for OP, I agree with most of thef people above. YDI cuz I'm sure there was some sort of warning label on the cover.

No, it just depends on the series. Some mangas have pink covers, others have blue, the list goes on. It being white had nothing to do with it being adult. I have a manga series where the covers are white but it's age appropriate.
