"Tokyo?s manga ban has been signed into law after passing a final vote, and is set to come into effect in 2011, with Tokyo governor Ishihara crowing that ?Japan still has some common sense left after all!?

The ban already passed a committee vote, and as expected also passed a final vote on the 15th [of December] ? the law stipulates that ?voluntary restraints? must begun in April of 2011, with the full force of the ban to come in July."

Apparently this only effects "virtual" material (any photography or recording is unaffected, and will be anything considered to be "harmful."

Anyone with more information? reactions?
