When the adults are away the kiddies will play

(Warning - parental guidance(?) is advised)

I'ts been a while since I discovered that Kodomo no Jikan has been licensed. I still can't fully accept it. WHAT THE F*** ARE THOSE AMERICANS THINKING? Titles like these aren't meant for the average consumer.

So what is Kojika(Kodomo no Jikan)? It's a story about a teacher who was just newly hired in an elementary school. He handles a grade-3 class after their previous homeroom teacher left "due to sickness". The manga is about his everyday struggle to teach the children.... things.

Now why am I so annoyed at Kojika's licensing? Usually, when I hear of of a title being licensed, I just let it be and hope that somehow an underground group still release the title. But this time, it's different. Not that because I follow it or anything(just picked it up and read it when I was bored). But it's because manga like these should NOT be officially licensed to North America. NEVER. EVER. As Akatsuki-manga's division L puts it, "If you don't like stories about little girls, and I mean stories ABOUT little girls, stay away from kojika". It has a mature rating (explicit sexual content) but look at the story...

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about(scanlations from akatsuki-manga):

Kiss your freedom goodbye sensei
What are kids talking about these days eh?
Be careful what you wish for
That's some motivation to study hard

I can't post the images here, since they're not "safe"...

*sigh* Manga and anime could have a really really bad reputation because of acts like these by those american licensing companies... And I thought those americans were pretty sensitive when it comes to these topics...
