Title: The Rurouni Kenshin manga re-read thread in a post-Watsuki is a pedophile? world
Post by: Himu on August 09, 2018, 05:38:34 PM
So I’m going to be getting the Kenshin 3 in 1 manga books and re-read. It’s been a while since I read it but it’s in my top 5 mangas. So much so I used a name based off the main character the majority of my forum career and it turns out the creator, my idol, is a pedophile.

I was going to re-read again last year when Watsuki made a sequel to RK that will never be complete probably due to his pedophile conviction.

So I wanted to make a thread about it. I love Kenshin to pieces and still can’t beleive Watsuki likes kids.

The anime is one stepped removed and it's still rad as hell. 8)

Anime sucks after Kyoto and we never got Jinchuu animated but it's still legendary.

The ova is the best anime of all time. Now tainted by Watsuki.

I don't think it'd be going out on a limb to say probably 20% of manga creators are likely bent in this direction. Just looking at the direction of the art and stories, it feels like this is a common problem.

The king of sports manga, Adachi, gives me this vibe for sure.

Thankfully Oda likes big tits and adult women so he’s safe.

Does he like adult women? His drawing style says otherwise.

Are we thinking of the same author? Because uh, it’s pretty obvious Oda likes women.

Aged 20 here. Age 18 before time skip.

Compared to Adachi.

It really isn’t. You just can’t handle Oda’s non traditional more Dragon Ball style. I’ve been reading and hearing that since 2003 and 2004. It doesn’t faze me anymore. It just exposes your own lack of taste.

My "lack of taste" includes never having read Watsuki's work.

If Kiyohiko Azuma is busted, they need to just shoot him and tell the rest of us he had a heart attack.

Just imagine that the hand that inked the pages is also the one he jerked off to childporn with.

Enjoy your manga. :)

Got volumes 1-6 via the three in ones. Wish they had big versions Akira/Battle Angel style but I’m not complaining.

You're not pirating it?

Well, Watsuki needs those royalties now that he's been fined and needs to start building his collection up from scratch again. I'm sure he appreciates the support.

Im reading it and what helped me the most was looking at the first page with Watsuki saying his shit and going,”Fuck Watsuki, but I appreciate your art.” Idk I’ve been able to read it. I’m listening to the best of Kenshin anime music YouTube video while reading and it’s a very emotional read made even more emotional because the creator is a POS.

Well, thank God I didn’t throw away my old RK collection. I still want to watch the live action films, though.

lol Watsuki keep it mostly clean in his work but he ended having mountains of child porn. The problem is that Japan is lax about actual IRL child porn.

You could say that the ones that draw the 1000 year old demon girls are actually the the normal, well-adjusted ones.  :thinking

Anyway, I was interested in the Hokkaido arc around when it was announced but now...uh, I may just read spoilers online.:doge
