Newly created party in Japan, Sanseito, which surged to no. 3 spot this election, wants the government to step in and regulate anime, manga and video games. Their official platform states:
>The value of manga, anime, and games will not be judged based on economic rationality, but rather authority will be delegated to the Agency for Cultural Affairs to ensure their healthy development as culture.
From nichegamer:
>The party’s decision has angered Japanese citizens, who are defensive of the country’s existing free speech protections which are usually at risk from external threats rather than internal political parties.
