MangaStoresGoWild



Today I spent some time in a manga store in Shibuya. It was pretty impressive, many references, many otakus, etc... but a lot of erotic covers! It nearly gave the impression of being in a porn shop. This only confirms the thesis of a sexual fantasy in the authors heroin.
I also came across this Nazi manga, i'm not quite sure what it was really about, but it definitely had a Swastika cross on the cover. I beleive the ultra nationalist movement is getting stronger and stronger because of the North Korean threat. Walking around in tokyo, we can see cars with speakers on top, driving around very slowly and young men inside, speaking ultra nationalist messages through the mega phones. Japan is currently facing a crisis in parliament. Since the end of WWII, Japan is not allowed to have an army to attack. This is being rejected by most Japanese, and the constitution could soon be changed in favor of a powerful army, in order to be able to face North Korea in an eventual atomic war (North Korea possesses the atomic weapon).
