Ero-cosplay queen Ushijima Iiniku has been thrown out of a Taiwan’s “Fantasy Frontier” event for serving as a booth girl whilst clad only in her pantsu after local media made a fuss and showed mosaiced pictures of her notoriously shapely rear on TV.

The fact that she took off her skirt for part of the even was not well received by the commoner media:

She was told not to return to the event the next day, in what must be considered by Taiwanese otaku to be a great loss indeed.

The costume she was wearing (prior to taking off her skirt):

How she appeared at the booth:

It is not the first time she or her ero-cosplayer colleagues have been kicked out of events – a number of events, most notably Comiket, have been increasingly hostile towards cosplayers who either opt for the sort of costumes which might easily be found on a public beach, or who hawk collections of their more exhibitionistic cosplays on CD.

Presumably this is in the hopes that if no sexy real women are present the media and authorities will fail to notice the vast array of loli tentacle rape doujinshi on sale in the halls.

Online there is the expected palming of faces:

“Her mosaic debut! Congratulations!”

“Ahhh… they banned her.”

“Somebody reported it as ‘There was even someone not wearing a skirt at the event – what kind of event is this?’ That probably did it.”

“The organisers can’t ignore FF becoming more adult. It’s harsh to Ushijima, but they are using a university facility and could end up losing the venue. Next time she should consider Taiwan’s situation.”

“But she had a sign saying ‘don’t take pictures please!’ – and the Taiwanese media just ignored it. The organisers should have checked if they knew the press were coming.”

“There’s a lot of debate in Taiwan over this – some blame the media, others Ushijima. It’s really down to the owners of the venue being a university.”

“What the hell are they mosaicing it for!? A T-back or whatever needs a mosaic now?”

“She’s getting too old for this.”

“What’s wrong with Ushijima? I don’t get the haters…”

“She’s actually pretty toned.”

“I want to have sex with her.”

A distinctly unofficial manga cataloguing the fall of a certain “Aya Hi**no” has been attracting much notoriety, not least for its incendiarily accurate and rather titillating content. As if there were not enough, it is quite well drawn as well…

The pages, which outline the body of the scandal surrounding her – that she apparently had sex with 3 out of 4 members of her band, who were all later sacked at the same time, and went on to take various dubious photographs of herself, as well as aggravating her remaining fans with remarks on TV to the effect that she has broken the hearts of more than a few of the older men she prefers to bed:

The interminable controversy over the ethnicity of anime-styled characters and the pedestal upon which many Japanese ensconce white girls is being stoked by the image above – cute anime girls, it maintains, are drawn with Caucasian bone structure.

The points the image makes:

Whites have a convex forehead, (East) Asians a concave one

The rear of a Caucasian skull is convex, the Asian concave

Caucasians have a protruding chin and concave jaw, Asians a protruding jaw and receding chin

Caucasians have lower positioned eyes, Asians higher positioned ones

Not surprisingly, this has provoked the usual debate:

“What a cruel choice of models!”

“They really were right when they said they are designed off of white people…”

“And the usual video:”

“The people who make this stuff are aggravating our white people complex, it’s creepy!”

“I’ve never seen a skull like the one on the right in an anatomy book or an art how-to.”

“Yui-chan is so cute…”

A gamer at an Internet cafe who died after a 23-hour marathon spree may have been sat dead at his PC amongst other patrons for as long as 9 hours.

The incident occurred at a New Taipei City Internet cafe, where a 23-year-old man had been playing for “at least 23 hours.”

He was found dead at his PC with arms outstretched as if playing by a female member of staff, perhaps explaining why it took so long for him to be noticed by patrons and staff.

Roughly 30 other customers were said to have been at the cafe, though none noticed he was deceased and one patron witnessed him sat at the same PC for at least 9 hours.

Police say his cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by low body temperature. There is no information as to what game he was playing when he died.

The appearance of Saber in a French Japanese conversation phrase book and Haruhi and her minions in a Japanese social education tome have been causing some astonishment online.

Sadly, investigations reveal this may be more a case of plagiarism than Saber generously helping French learn another language of surrender:

With so much recent controversy over manga endings (Bleach is in its “final chapter,” Negima ends in 3 chapters, and generic Jump love comedy Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa just received one of “those” endings), manga fans have been debating the perfect length for a manga – with many coming to the conclusion that “about 30″ volumes is about right.

The various forms of protracted torture offered by such long-running titles as Bleach, Naruto and Berserk seem to have persuaded many that even the most epic of manga need to have properly paced endings:

“Anyone would lose interest with some of these longer titles…”

“25 volumes is a bit much.”

“12 volumes is good.”

“The beautiful ideal is 28-32 volumes!”

“If you’re unlucky and start reading one of those shonen titles midway you’ll be an adult by the time it finishes.”

“16 is a good time to leave off.”

“Slam Dunk is a good example of a 30 volume series.”

“Slam Dunk could have gone on a bit more.”

“If you start in your first year of elementary school you really want it to end about the time of your final exams in high school.”

“Where was One Piece even at when it hit 30…”

“Like anyone can be bothered to collect them all when they have 50+ volumes.”

“Recent manga tend to have huge panels, I really think that makes a difference.”

“Certainly, North Star and Seiya were better off not going over 30.”

“Any boy who started reading KochiKame is middle-aged now…”

“The biggest issue probably is readers of 30+ manga ending up as adults during its run.”

“20 or perhaps 10 is about right!”

“It was amazing how Full Metal Alchemist had the perfect length with no superfluous parts.”

“I read it all in 5 hours straight at a friend’s place.”

“Monthly series really get tedious at about volume 15. If you can save them up and read them all in one sitting, 30 volumes is great though.”

“Gash in 33, that was good.”

“Completion in 4 volumes is the best.”

“If it ends in the early twenties, you can at least hope to finish it in one sitting. I want to see an elegant ending but it does feel sad when they are over.”

“The college volumes of K-ON! and Lucky Star are just totally superfluous.”

“If only he could have finished Berserk at 28…”
