Moms discuss whether or not these Japanese cartoons are appropriate for their tweens.

We wrote Is Manga Porn?, sparking controversy over a 12-year-old who was suspended for sketching Manga characters in school.

DB had this to say: "I think these comics are very inappropriate!!! If these were real people instead of cartoons, they would be considered pornographic.

I think the school was totally justified in their punishment of this boy. And I want to know where the parents of this kid are, and why they allowed him to turn in an assignment like this!!!"

April responds: "Manga is not porn. My teen is addicted to it. Manga has ratings just like movies A for all ages, Y for Youth, T for Teen, and M for 18+. So just check your teen or tween's Manga ratings to see if it is appropriate or not."

Do you think Manga is appropriate for your children? Tell us in the Mom•Logic Community.
