"It can be predicted that most of our target readers are teenagers, who are relatively more naive than adults. Therefore, we should be more gentle and don't overstimulate them."
"Chatter! Chatter!" Kitahara Shimomura laughed excitedly and said proudly, "Then when they fall into the net and get deeper and deeper, they will be captured. At that time, we can impact their minds with real dark stories, subverting their world outlook. Chatter, chatter! Sensei Baijie, you are so insidious!"
The other three people glared at Kitahara Shimomura and none of them said a word.
"What's wrong? Don't you think so?"
No, we are not as perverted as you. Where did Editor Ida find this pervert?
Forget it. Anyway, he's just an assistant. He just needs to do his work.
"Well, you can think so." Shimizu Hakuseki continued, "In short, there will be a stepmother in this manga, and I believe our readers will like that. According to Freud's theory, all men have an Oedipus complex. So it's not strange to like a mature, motherly young woman. It should be regarded as a kind of popular psychology."
Kasannoin Ayase was somewhat surprised, "All men have an Oedipus complex?"
"That's what the book says."
"Who is Freud? The ancestor of all perverts? He actually wrote a book saying that all men in the world are perverts? He was trying to exculpate for these perverts!"
"He's a psychologist… forget it, that's not the point. The point is: more or less, almost all men have this complex. They don't like their own mothers, but they like the symbol of a mother."
"Yes, I've heard this theory that breasts symbolize breastfeeding, so they are the symbol of a mother. Therefore, all men who like breasts are a hidden MILF," said Kitahara Shimomura, "Do men all over the world dislike breasts? No, no one doesn't dislike breasts, so we are all perverts!"
"This topic is going too far, but one thing is certain: to most readers, their mothers aren't beautiful women. When they read manga, they will meet the problem Editor Ida mentioned before."
It was easy to understand this point, Most people's mothers were just ordinary females. Their mothers worked hard every day, naturally, their mothers wouldn't have a beautiful face, delicate fingers, and smooth skin.
Most mature women who could still keep that beauty when they got older, were all rich wives of their rich neighbors.
"Oh, I understand," said Ida Shinji, "That's why when I see beautiful mothers in books, I like them very much, but if I associate it with the reality, I can't force myself to continue thinking about it."
"Yes, this is the problem, and a beautiful stepmother can solve this problem. A stepmother who has no blood relationship with the protagonist will not arouse physiological repugnance, but at the same time, she is a nominal mother, which can make readers enjoy the pleasure of transgressing mortal ethics. This is exactly what we need. I think this setting is appropriate. Does anyone have any objections?"
Shimizu Hakuseki's explanation was very detailed, none of the other three people had any objections.
They all agreed that there could be a beautiful stepmother in the next manga!
"So, let's go to the next question: is it necessary to add the role of a Loli in this manga?"
"No, let's forget it," This time, Kitahara Shimomura unexpectedly voted against this idea. He said, "Lolicon is too perverted."
You are the last person who is qualified to say this in the world!
"I don't like it either, but I think we can add this role in, because Lolicon is not only a trend of Japan, but also the trend of the world." Unexpectedly, Kasannoin Ayase agreed to this idea, "In my opinion, Lolicon is a tradition of Japan."
The so-called "trend of the world" referred to Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita", which was a story about a Lolicon. This book created the genre "Loli" and when it was published in the United States, it sold 100,000 copies in three weeks, ranking first in the bestseller list. Thus it could be seen that America also had a lot of Lolicons.
Later, this novel was made into a movie by Hollywood and was nominated for an Oscar, which could only prove that American Lolicons were too fanatical!
As for Japanese people, they had no intention of resisting this trend at all, because it could also be regarded as Japan's tradition. In the novel "The Tale of Genji" (a classic work of Japanese literature written by the noblewoman and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu in the early years of the 11th century), the protagonist adopted a little girl, and when the little girl grew up, he immediately married her.
The so-called "Hikaru Genji keikaku" (光源氏計画) was derived from this novel, referring to the men who adopted little girls for marrying her after she grew up.
From this point of view, Lolicon was indeed a tradition of Japan.
Ida Shinji asked with a worried look, "Will there be moral problems? Can you accept this, Sensei Baijie?"
Shimizu Hakuseki shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I know what you are worried about. In this room, I am Beauty Baijie, I have no sense of morality in my heart. However, there should still be a bottom line, and we should try to avoid unnecessary risks."
"Therefore, I won't draw a little girl whose age is under 14 years old. In the next manga, I want to draw a 'Legal Loli', whose body is over 14 years old but the face looks young."
"Legal Loli?"
The so-called Legal Loli was created by an anime circle in the future.
In the future, Japanese anime was popular all over the world. Parents complained that there were too many Loli’s in Japanese anime, which was bad for their children's education.
Finally, even the United Nations couldn't bear it and appealed Japan to prohibit Loli adult anime, and the U.S. Department of State directly called Japan "the evil axis of producing and selling child pornography".
