Manga’s US Release Canceled Due to Pedophiliac Worries
ANN reports that Kodomo no Jikan, renamed Nymphet for its US release, was canceled due to outcries that it was too pedophiliac. The comic is a comedy about a elementary school girl who attempts to sexually seduce her school teacher. The humor comes from the fact that the teacher is normal and wants nothing to do with the girl’s advances.
He explains that the “primary reason for canceling Nymphet is due to [his] recent realization that later volumes in the series can not be considered appropriate for the US market by any reasonable standard.”

Of course it’s not appropriate for the US market! Hell, we never have comedies that deal with kids doing adult things like having sex with their teachers… (-_-)
Some people in our country really need to pull that stick out of their ass…
UPDATE:Otakuismhas a good write up on the topic along with a sample page of the comedy that is “too hot for USA”.
That takes balls, man. Huge gonads.
At least we won’t have another ‘Tenjo Tenge’ fiasco…
