This man fights for your rights.

I can't vote for him though... There isn't anyone I vote for and who fights for my rights.

You gotta fight

I'm glad he helped popularize the loliBBA vampire.

>>280837588
for your right

>>280837694

>>280837565 (OP)
I need someone to fight for bikinis in anime.

>>280837565 (OP)
>trusting politicians
I'm too burnt out...

>>280837565 (OP)
I don't like his boomer stance on piracy. For somebody who champions the doujin scene, you'd think he would recognize the hypocrisy.

>>280838587
I thought he was pro video game preservation or something.

>>280838639
He's for manga preservation, he operates Manga Library Z.
https://www.mangaz.com/
He's not for unrestricted sharing of digital copies.

>>280838771
I meant this.

>>280837565 (OP)
well how is it going

>>280838771
WTF it's up? I thought it got shut down for good last year

>>280837565 (OP)
And axed uq holder for this

>>280838771
Thanks for sharing that anon, didn't know that exists. I took a gander and it renews my appreciation that manga is a really, really big industry. The titles that get exported to the west is only the tip of the iceberg.

Though it looks a like a good portion of them didn't make it for good reasons

Literally who?

>>280837565 (OP)
How many Pakistanis can he fit into a country in a year? Less than 1 million makes him incompetent.

>>280839499
The guy who made Love Hina and Negima.

>>280837565 (OP)
Too bad he killed two of his manga which was what I actually cared about from him.

>>280839093
like everywhere in the world right now, whatever noble goal he had is being drown out by the universal hatred for the leftist parties and their insane globalism policies

>>280839760
oh, thats a bit before my time.
How does a mangaka turn into a politician and why?

Ken deserves damnatio memoriae for how he’s warped the genre of romantic comedies.

>>280839846
>why
He's been politically active for a while, he was one of the main detractors against the Non-Existent Youth Bill back in 2010. I guess he decided that if he wanted to make sure people wouldn't fuck with manga and anime he had to go all in.
>How
I mean, he has a valid platform. Stranger things have happened, like film stars going into politcs and even becoming US president.

>>280839838
But leftist aren't in charge in the US right now

>>280839838
LDP is not really a leftist party, they're on the right of Japan's political spectrum (though arguably left-wing in a global sense, depending on which issues you care most about)
While they lost a bunch of seats they're still the governing party (largely because the opposition is divided 10 different ways), and what lost them said seats is not "insane globalism" but a series of corruption scandals.
Also, he didn't personally lose his seat.

>>280839093
Well it looks like the Diet is actually taking Visa and Master Card to task, so it could be worse.

>>280838771
I want to read old isekai but it doesn't give it its own tag like mangadex and unless it got an anime I don't know what to look for
there are gems on there I'm sure but idk how to find them

>>280837565 (OP)
Before its gone gone

>>280837565 (OP)
>This man fights
how many rounds can he go

>>280840181
Seach via mangaupdates, find something you like, then copy and paste the original JP title. That might work, I dunno.

>>280840220
found a couple titles which look interesting and which I haven't seen in English... but that mangaz doesn't have either, oh well
thanks for the idea, I'll poke blindly around the fantasy/horror section later

>>280840212
As many as it takes.

>>280840500
Glad it worked, I wasn't really sure if it would.

>>280837565 (OP)
Oh look, this is how you should agitate, on the sidewalk with a microphone and a banner, not like the cowardly politicians in my country who are obviously afraid of the people
>>280838883
Of course I agree with this demand, I wonder if anyone has tried to calculate how much manga/anime gave Japan profit not directly

>>280839423
>The titles that get exported to the west is only the tip of the iceberg.
Tip of an iceberg is still 10%, which is maybe how much of ongoing manga is translated. Official releases are lower than that, especially if you don't understand French or Italian either.
Mangaz is largely series that the big publishers don't care about. You'll gain a better picture if you look at regular e-manga stores.

>>280837565 (OP)
Does he want the lolis to come back?

>>280840865
Good to know

>>280837565 (OP)
What's the public opinion of Akamatsu in Japan? What about his position within the diet? Is he kind of a joke?

>>280838235
Microbikinis.
