It seems that some mangaka are against the idea of a ban on “virtual” child born and have taken action against it. The proposed ban would put an end to lolicon and other “2d art’/game’s which might be seen as inappropriate.

Tetsuya Chiba (Ashita no Joe) and Machiko Satonaka (Lady Ann) were among the manga creators who held a press conference on Monday to voice their opposition against proposed legislation in Metropolitan Tokyo to restrict sexually provocative, “visual depictions” of characters who sound or appear to be 18 years old or younger. The group presented the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly with a written statement in opposition to the measure. Among the creators who listed their names in the statement were Fujiko Fujio A, Takao Saito, Moto Hagio, and Ryohei Saigan.
