Harenchi Gakuen censorship and PTA protests
Harenchi Gakuen, a Go Nagai manga associated with the company’s pre-foundation creative period, provoked strong criticism from parent-teacher associations, women’s groups, and other parts of Japanese society because of its sexual humor and depictions of violence. Protests affected distribution in some areas and also targeted television adaptations. The controversy helped make Nagai’s work a prominent subject in debates over manga expression and content for younger readers.
