Rosario+Vampire Manga – No Tits for You


I want to avoid overly editorializing the issue, as I haven’t yet confirmed this myself. But with the source being the (former) Anime on DVD forums, according to this post, VIZ has decided to censor two instances of exposed breasts in Rosario+Vampire Season II volume #2.

What I can confirm (and as the above banner image partially reveals) is that the Japanese volume contains two panels where Kurumu, the succubus character, does indeed expose her bare breasts. According to the forum post, VIZ’s edition, which hit stores today, clothes the supple succubi’s naked flesh in a made-to-order bra.

Considering how VIZ maintains no standards on when it decides to censor a title, and that Rosario+Vampire has consistently ranked as one of their best selling series, it’s easy to guess why a manga that often places on The New York Times best seller list and can still be readily found on bookstore shelves has had all traces of purity-destroying naughty bits expunged from its pages.

As a fan of the series, and one who has bought all the volumes VIZ has released thus far, I can’t help but be angered by a company that continually edits and censors their products, without ever having the decency to notify their fans ahead of time. It’s this type of treatment that makes me want to forego buying anything from the company, even the manga and anime they treat with the utmost of care.

Regardless, if the censorship is true (and I’m sure it is), this is yet another title I will no longer purchase from them. And to think I was just beginning to get over their stealth-canceling of the Bastard!! manga (and yes, if you haven’t yet realized, they cancelled Bastard!!)…
