Mostly normal, but it tilts toward pedo sometimes. Good evidence is the official image that was posted a few days ago in another IM thread (that has disappeared *again*) with Chika and Miu naked, holding shirts in front of them, that were pretty much see-through.

1. Images should be cute ("moe") in nature.
2. Ecchi belongs on its respective board. Males belong on the cute/male board.
3. Heterosexual couples are allowed.

So technically mi-chan breaks the rules.

they DO have had several heavily reported cases of children raping, killing other children; and the amount of home made japanese cp is rather staggering. But most of those cases are never prosecuted so i don't really agree with your thesis
They lost the war, yes so they turned from a blood thirsty war seekers into seeking idiotically kawaii entertainment. As I said before>>241431I JUST watched Suicide Club and
that was typical bloody over the top japanese movie just like Battle Royale and Ichi the Killer

Interesting fact: the japanese will die out before 2200 if they don't start making more babies.
Women don't want to be put into a "wife" or "mother" box, Men feel inadequate and make work advancement their top priority.
Their current culture is a strange mix with very ancient and very new ideas conflicting: they could probably blend if they didn't try to deny eachother.
A so perfomance driven society makes ordinary humans feel rubbish ...this might explain the obsession with youth and robotic enhancement.

Back on topic: I.M is definitly borderline and makes many of us feel uncomfortable because it is a strong reminder that some people look at our favorite moe/cute series with not so moe/cute thoughts... thoughts at the opposite of what we feel for the heroines...
In any case I.M makes people think.
You can't just say "I just like the cuteness" when there are blatent sexual references in canon.

They'll figure themselves out. Frankly, their population *needs* to drop by a few tens of millions anyhow.

They won't die out, that's ridiculous fearmongering by their government. They'll just return to equilibrium. They had a *massive* population spike in the last 100 years, that needs to be balanced out.

Not to turn this into a high-brained debate (This IS 4chan, afterall), but didn't the entire human race have a massive population spike in the last 100 years?

Population growth statistics are always skewed. Okay, if they were to continue to populate at the same rate until 2200, they'd die out. However, THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

I'm in college studying calculus, and accurate functions describing population growth and reduction have roofs and floors. The more or less there is of a population, the faster or slower the birth rate would change. If the Japanese population got DANGEROUSLY low, people would start having more kids. Inversely, if there were too many people, the Japanese would have LESS children. (And since that's what they're doing... might that say something?) In fact, MOST places in the world seriously need to lose as many people as they can. The human race is overpopulated. We need less kids, not more. The problem is that a population surge is good for the economy, and a good economy is good for politicians, so who's going to suggest we have more kids?

Ana is cute. Nobue is pedo.
>> Anonymous
>>243160
Nobue is just a "safe" way for the show (and manga) to play to the latent desires of a not insignificant portion of the male audience (maybe some of the female audience too.) If it was an older brother acting like that (lifting Miu's skirt, trying to kiss Matsuri in her sleep, wanting to watch Ana bathe) then it'd be sick and perverted, but since it's a girl it's funny and therefore acceptable.

The point is, the creator knows that certain people are going to be titillated or even get off to this material, and while it plays it safe for the most part, it does do a fair amount of pandering to those people. In normal anime it's called "fanservice."
>> Anomalous

>>243172

I agree, but you guys have to stop making a big deal out of it. I mean we deserve our fanservice to you know! Besides, Ichigo Mashimaro has prettymuch nothing of that. Have any of you ever seen BPS? (Battle Programmer Shirase) Now THAT had a lot of it in it. They actually centered all the jokes and hilariously funny stuff around that. And it wasn't hidden or anything, it was blatant in your face loli fanservice for your lolicon's viewing pleasure! Man that was a great show!

>>243182

Not that I don't enjoy random posting of Ichigo Mashimaro pages, but how is that related to anything?

which is probably why this page was rejected since they didn't want to give readers the impression nobue was a pedo.

Well, actually, I think kissing Matsuri was more about love. Nobue actually feels real affection for Matsuri.
>> Sam and OMG HAX!!
>>243314
QFT.

Nobue is a moe addict, not a pedo. There's a real difference. If she were a pedo, she'd be sneaking into their closets, and going "im in ur closet, sniffin ur pantsu." What she's really into is more like that feeling you get when you see an adorable teddy bear. In a way, she's like Sakaki, but with an attitude.
>> Anonymous
>>243321

But she also likes to see the girls' panties and watch Ana bathe. Isn't that going beyond moe? After all, if a guy did those things wouldn't he be seen as pedo?

(If not, then hell, all this time I thought I was a lolicon when I was actually a moe addict.)
>> Matsuoka Miu
and the eternal question is still never gonna be answered. To begin with I think Nobue is a lesbian because she dresses in jeans and in unfeminine clothes and she doesn't have any boyfriends. In anime/manga this is a sure way to point to a gay/lesbian character.
Nobue is just Barasui himself.>>243172hit it right on the head. Wouldnt you like to be in Nobue's place and be around some cute girls( Chika doesnt count)? In the new OVA they talk about utopia at the end and as far as I understood with my non existent Japanese Nobue's idea of utopia is a hot bath and dozen cold beers. Speaking of the OVA has there been any new developments in translating it?

Yeah, ok, that was totally pedo. But I see nothing wrong with that. It's the kind of stuff that would make your nose gush a torrent of blood while you faint... if you where an anime character.

Its so funny, she saw an opportunity and totally went for it.

Really, it's sick just if it's adult males? Cmon, you can do better than that. It's just sick of you force your desires onto someone, no matter who you are and who they are.

Ichigo Mashimaro is just a manga, (and its a hilarious one) so there's none of that here. Just sit back and enjoy the manga and anime instead of all these silly arguments and pedo/loli bashing.

Thank you all for these hilarious pics from the manga. It helps me wait the eternal time until I buy all of it myself.

Wrong. LOTS of Japanese girls still want to grow up to be good little housewives. You make it sound like the female Japanese population is dominated by hardcore dyke-y feminists. It is not.

The old-fashioned ideal of growing up to be housewife has not gone out of style in Japan (unlike in the US). It's just that it's no longer the ONLY option.

I actually would like to know if the IM girls have any interest in boys at all.

I mean, they don't go for them, although you could say it's the "best age" for at least trying seriously to get a boyfriend the first time in your life.

Wasn't it mentioned in the manga or anime that Ana gets many love letters? She seems to be more relaxed about it than fluttered. And Nobue apparently really IS a lesbian, or is just too lazy to look for a boyfriend alone. She rather waits for a guy to fall in love with her, and then checks him out.

And then the question what kind of guys the girls like...
>> Anonymous
>>243752
I think 11-12 is *way* too young to be trying to get a boyfriend.

Ana gets a love letter in the manga, and in the anime, but in the anime it's written in English so she can't understand it.

Nobue comes off as rough, so she scares guys away, but she doesn't ever pursue them herself, so she's still single. In the manga when Miu wrote her a fake loveletter, she seemed genuinely interested in pursuing it, but she didn't want to have to become girly just to impress a guy. She doesn't enjoy being single though, because she gets pissed when she sees other couples (like in the anime and manga when they're delivering the Christmas present to Matsuri.)

So? In some countries grade school goes to class 6, in others just to class 4. And then you're packed in a school with all the 10th and 11 graders...

And don't tell me there are no 11 or 12 year olds trying to get a boy/girlfriends... there are enough doing that, although the most hardcore thing they get to is holding hands. Or just slight kissing, nothing more.

Oh, and while were at it, here is one you forgot. Although that one proves more what I was saying, that it's more love than pedo.

Ehm... it might be hard to understand cuz it's out of context, but Ana made her cookies for Valentine's, and Matsuri was sad because she forgot it was Valentine's day and didn't give her anything. So now, in this pic, Matsuri is baking her cookies. (it's in Volume 6)
