My whole beef with this issue is that Seven Seas bent to pressure from the moralizing crowd... which really isn't a crowd, just Zac Bertschy + his fanboys. So what if the manga portrays children sexually? They're drawings, there's a market for it; it would've sold; it's LEGAL.

Not wanting to distribute this title for the sake of manga's good reputation in the U.S. is a futile and an attempt of disillusioned people. Manga also serves to pedophile/lolicon crowds, and that's a fact even the cancellation of the local U.S. distribution won't change. If this fact disgusts anyone personally, they're free to leave the hobby, just don't try to spit on it like the people you've tried to educate in the past what manga/anime is all about.
