Behind the scenes! Kuro Usagi: Now, since the bath is ready, lets move to the conclusion volume at once! 5 Illustrations Izayoi: Wait, Kuro Usagi. I have a thought. Asuka: I also have a thought. Yo: Me too. Kuro Usagi: Uwawa! Everyone, what is it so suddenly!? ??: Those "thoughts" of yours, I will also hear them! Kuro Usagi: Who!? Who is the owner of this sudden mysterious voice!? Now, the final consultation will begin!! 6 Prologue Prologue The shining divine spear was approaching the heart of the Three Headed Dragon. In the blink of an eye, the spear penetrated the chest and pierced the heart. There were no possible means to hit him, who was bound with the gift of "Serpent Bearer".[1] However, there exists something that even the strongest demon lord, 「The Enemy of the World」 can't survive. The spear thrown by Indra's follower will 「Bring Victory」 when it hits, and this was not a metaphor. It excelled in long distance fights and had a gift that brought an imminent death upon the one who is pierced. With this, it's checkmate. Everyone from the hosts, including the 「No Name」 were convinced of victory. But, as if wanting to trample on their confidence, the Three Headed Dragon roared. ―Don't look down on the demon lord and on 「Absolute Evil」!!! He then released a power befitting of a king that could even shake the sun. The restrictions of the golden dragon, bearing the mass that rivaled that of a star, were torn. But that wasn’t all. Changing his whole body to astral, the Three Headed Dragon attempted to avoid the divine spear with speed that approached at 6th cosmic velocity. No, he will avoid. He will definitely avoid it. Sakamaki Izayoi believed that even by exhausting all their means, this determined demon lord would go even further. Because he said it himself at the very start of the battle: Use all your power! 7 Prologue Use all your resourcefulness! Show me your courage, and try to become a shining sword that could pierce through me! Gift games; the entertainments of gods that tested one’s power, wisdom and courage. This was the first rule of the world he was taught when he came to little garden. And to overcome this demon lord hailed as a 「Last Embryo」 (Last Trials of Humanity), one must become the greatest hero carrying those three swords in hand. Strength is exhausted. Resourcefulness is exhausted. But with those alone, one sword was still missing. A once in a lifetime chance, made possible at the cost of piles of corpses of heroes. Izayoi believed that if they showed even more courage at this moment, then they would be able to finally defeat this demon lord. Izayoi got on Kouryuu’s back who became a moon dragon and waited just above the Three Headed Dragon in front of Kuro Usagi. On Izayoi’s body were only the gifts that made physical interference. He won't die instantly no matter what kind of spear hits him, even if it was the spear of a war god. Thus, he caught the spear of certain victory with his whole body and attacked the Three Headed Dragon with its blade. But even if the gifts do not work on him, the sharpness of the spear won't change. There were many exclamations about the importance of using such means. But if they don’t expect this much from the Three Headed Dragon, they won't be able to win. He is the strongest demon lord. The giant peak that no one managed to overcome. And if they, as the challengers don’t show courage and make the impossible possible, then they won’t achieve victory. (Come.......Divine Spear of Indraー!!!) Prepared to give up an arm, Izayoi faced the matter. Getting ready for his internal organs to be blown off the moment he couldn't 8 Prologue catch the spear and mustering determination, he jumped. A flash of light approached. Lightning traveling faster than light. The gift capable of destroying a star, or possibly the whole Milky Way was bringing death upon Izayoi. Futile determination. Cruelly pierced heart. Scattered blood. Field of vision dyed red from pain. The Three Headed Dragon's ridiculing voice was heard, laughing at the foolish challenge. Desperate screams of Kudou Asuka and Kasukabe Yo was heard. In his consciousness that was about to fade───The facial expression of Kuro Usagi killing Izayoi was reflected at the last second. * And at that moment, he woke up. (............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... ............... .............................. Damn Bastard.) "It's just a dream huh", - he didn’t say a cliche complaint like that. [2] Izayoi threw off his wet shirt and turned over on the bed, preparing to get back to sleep. 9 Translator's Notes and Comments Translator's Notes and Comments 1 Furigana on the Kanji was Asclepius. /wiki/Ophiuchus ↩ 2 2 夢 オチかよ、などとありきたりな悪態は吐かない。Basically it said, He did not throw a cliche complaint about the fact that it was "it was all a dream" ending. If someone has a better way to translate this, just drop it in comments. ↩ 10 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Part 1 「Mines of Raging Seas」 - Inn of Six Scars. Autumn rains just ended and some areas are even starting to become cold. Sounds of blacksmithing rang out constantly at a corner of the mine, this is Izayoi’s living quarters. The bedroom clock issued a constant ‘KachaKacha’ sound. The ticking sound of the second hand, why does it sound so piercing. Suspicious for being unable to sleep, Izayoi turned on the other side but at that moment, Ponpopopon! – the sounds of jumping were heard. "Morning! Wake up!" “Izayoi, time to wake up!” “Faster wake up!” Wookya♪ Came a group of fairies with pointed hats bringing with them enthusiastic and cheerful sounds. Izayoi who was awaken by the excessive noises，stuck his head out from underneath the bedsheets with an unhappy face. “……Quiet! Ochibis.” “Ochibi?” “Ochibi!?” “Ochibi!!?” 11 Chapter 1 “Correct. 『Mini Mel series』，abbreviated as Ochibi” Don't abbreviate it!!? The group of 3 fairies —Melun, Melulu, Melilu exclaimed. Melun has the spirit rank of being a living documentary of Hamelin's 「Rattenfänger」, and increased her dependents due to her developing the farmlands in 「No Name」. The fairy wearing the pointy hat is, the leader of them, Melun. The fairy wearing the hat with 2 pointed tips is Melulu. The fairy wearing the hat with 3 pointed tips is Melilu. It's often said that three women together are noisy[1], but three fairies popping up in front of someone's face are even noisier. Izayoi stretched his head while still half asleep, tickled the sisters, then looked at the clock to check the time. And he stared in wonder at the unexpected time. (Seriously? It's noon already?) What the hell – Saying so, Izayoi hurriedly got up. This isn't the time to tickle Melun sisters. Today they were scheduled to attend a Game. Izayoi stretched his back, and silently started to get serious in preparation for the game. —After the battle with the three headed dragon, already 3 months have passed. After 「No Name」 dealt with the handling of the fallen ones' memorial service and the post-war services, they headed to the lands on the Eastern side for new activities. That location was the 「Adamantine」 Mines, that were once owned by former 「No Name」. 6 digit outer gate №565656 – 「Mines of Raging Seas」. He opened the window, the burning sunlight and hot air, and also the smell of 12 Chapter 1 metal assaulted his sense of smell. Wind blowing down from the mountains and water flowing in the river. The fertility of the soil and the fire used for the black smithing. The peculiar dust in the mines, adding together the ores dug up by the mining machinery to be used in the ironworks, The ringing sounds coming from the smithwork were hard to bear for Izayoi who just work up, but this also helped him become fully awake. Izayoi inhaled deeply the sharp smell of the metal, thereby getting rid of his drowsiness. Using the smell of metal to invigorate his mind is also not bad. Just as he was fully awake and about to close the window, he heard a familiar voice. “Izayoi-kun! What are you doing!? It’s already noon! Hurry down stairs!” Asuka’s resonating voice reached the ears of Izayoi. While placing his hands over his ears, Izayoi laughed softly and looked downwards towards her. “Good morning, Ojō-sama. It’s so early in the morning and you already have so much vigour.” “Asuka!” “Asuka has a lot of vigour!” “Asuka also has a lot of vigour so early in the morning!” Calling out “Wookya♪” as they flew down from the open window, dashing straight into Asuka’s hair with an adorable sounds. Asuka skilfully caught them, she then sighed inwardly and lifted her head to look at Izayoi. “To be able to view a time like this as morning, seems like you have a pretty serious illness. Normally we don’t refer noon time as morning. Faster wash your face and make preparations.

  • Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation
    Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Tuomas Sibakov Master’s Thesis East Asian Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Helsinki November 2020 Tiedekunta – Fakultet – Faculty Koulutusohjelma – Utbildningsprogram – Degree Programme Faculty of Humanities East Asian Studies Opintosuunta – Studieinriktning – Study Track East Asian Studies Tekijä – Författare – Author Tuomas Valtteri Sibakov Työn nimi – Arbetets titel – Title Imōto-Moe: Sexualized Relationships Between Brothers and Sisters in Japanese Animation Työn laji – Arbetets art – Level Aika – Datum – Month and Sivumäärä– Sidoantal – Number of pages Master’s Thesis year 83 November 2020 Tiivistelmä – Referat – Abstract In this work I examine how imōto-moe, a recent trend in Japanese animation and manga in which incestual connotations and relationships between brothers and sisters is shown, contributes to the sexualization of girls in the Japanese society. This is done by analysing four different series from 2010s, in which incest is a major theme. The analysis is done using visual analysis. The study concludes that although the series can show sexualization of drawn underage girls, reading the works as if they would posit either real or fictional little sisters as sexual targets. Instead, the analysis suggests that following the narrative, the works should be read as fictional underage girls expressing a pure feelings and sexuality, unspoiled by adult corruption. To understand moe, it is necessary to understand the history of Japanese animation. Much of the genres, themes and styles in manga and anime are due to Tezuka Osamu, the “god of manga” and “god of animation”. From the 1950s, Tezuka was influenced by Disney and other western animators at the time.

  • JKT48 As the New Wave of Japanization in Indonesia Rizky Soraya Dadung Ibnu Muktiono English Department, Universitas Airlangga
    JKT48 as the New Wave of Japanization in Indonesia Rizky Soraya Dadung Ibnu Muktiono English Department, Universitas Airlangga Abstract This paper discusses the cultural elements of JKT48, the first idol group in Indonesia adopting its Japanese sister group‘s, AKB48, concept. Idol group is a Japanese genre of pop idol. Globalization is commonly known to trigger transnational corporations as well as to make the spreading of cultural value and capitalism easier. Thus, JKT48 can be seen as the result of the globalization of AKB48. It is affirmed by the group management that JKT48 will reflect Indonesian cultures to make it a unique type of idol group, but this statement seems problematic as JKT48 seems to be homogenized by Japanese cultures in a glance. Using multiple proximities framework by La Pastina and Straubhaar (2005), this study aims to present the extent of domination of Japanese culture occurs in JKT48 by comparing cultural elements of AKB48 and JKT48. The author observed the videos footages and conducted online survey and interviews to JKT48 fans. The research shows there are many similarities between AKB48 and JKT48 as sister group. It is then questioned how the fans achieved proximity in JKT48 which brings foreign culture and value. The research found that JKT48 is the representation of AKB48 in Indonesia with Japanese cultural values and a medium to familiarize Japanese culture to Indonesia. Keywords: JKT48, AKB48, idol group, multiple proximities, homogenization Introduction “JKT48 will reflect the Indonesian cultures to fit as a new and unique type of idol group”. (JKT48 Operational Team, 2011) “JKT48 will become a bridge between Indonesia and Japan”.

    BACKGROUND PAPER RIGHTSCON EDITION TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 5 About child sexual exploitation material About pedophilia and child sexual abuse About sex offense registries About the adult entertainment industry and payment processing About the law About the sex industry About child sexual abuse prevention and stigma CASE STUDIES 16 Lolicon, shotacon, and furry fandom Nudist websites that cross the line MAPs and registered citizens on social media Child modeling DD/lg, ageplay, and cosplay BEST PRACTICE PRINCIPLES 27 BIOGRAPHIES OF SPEAKERS 34 INTRODUCTION The responsibility of Internet platforms when it comes to child protection is often understood to be about removing child abuse exploitation material (CSEM), and suspending users who engage in the sexual grooming of minors. But this is a far too narrow conception of their responsibility, and misconceiving it in this way is one of the reasons why those problems are so intractable. There are good reasons why Internet platforms ought to see their responsibility in broader terms, because protecting minors from sexual harm also means equipping them to be sexually healthy adults. This may seem like a tall order, but it needn’t be. It actually may require less of Internet platforms than the fight against CSEM and grooming—and over the longer term it will make that fight increasingly easy. Helping children to grow into sexually healthy adults is an integral part of what we call primary prevention. So, why aren’t other child protection organizations talking about this, and why aren’t governments demanding it of Internet platforms? Because it’s both not as easily understood, while also being more easily misunderstood.

    Lolita: Dreaming, Despairing, Defying Lolita: D, D, D J New York University a p As it exists in Japan, Lolita Fashion, like other Japanese subcultures, developed as a response a to social pressures and anxieties felt by young women and men in the 1970s and 1980s. Rather than dealing with the difficult reality of rapid commercialization, destabilization of society, n a rigid social system, and an increasingly body-focused fashion norm, a select group of youth chose to find comfort in the over-the-top imaginary world of lace, frills, bows, tulle, and ribbons that is Lolita Fashion. However, the more gothic elements of the style reflect that behind this cute façade lurks the dark, sinister knowledge that this ploy will inevitably end, the real world unchanged.

  • Types and Styles of Isekai Main 3 Types Main 4 Styles
    Types and Styles of Isekai By LotsChrono Main 3 Types Isekai, in its simplest form, is a story in which a protagonist (or group of characters) is thrown into another, usually fantasy, world. The usual three types of isekai are Reincarnation, Transmigration, and Summoning. For ​reincarnation​, a protagonist is thrown into another world, residing within a new body, usually after an unfortunate death and likely beginning as a newborn. For ​transmigration​, a protagonist enters the world with his age and body intact. Though, his race could be changed through a whim. For ​summoning​, a protagonist is teleported from his world into another due to the actions of a person or group. For either of the three, memories could be kept or not; though the default usually is. Main 4 Styles Full-Isekai A story where everything revolves around the summoned, reincarnated, or transmigrated protagonist. This type usually takes place in an easily immersive, but generic, world. As most readers are already familiar with the setting present in these types, the worldbuilding does not have as much of a need to be fleshed out as others. Essentially, a Full-Isekai is wish-fulfillment (or fluffiness) first and everything else second and, although the specific story may have one or two things that are unique, it is mostly generic and trope-filled. Plot points arise like checkmarks and action much the same. Furthermore, drama (though it can exist) isn’t what pushes readers to enjoy the story, but more than likely the continual climb of the MC’s strength, the increase in lovers, or just simply diabetics inducing fluffiness.
