Comics (especially Manga) are often not pushed in front of any standardised ratings board before going on sale, and the age ratings from the publisher often seem very lax - and possibly deliberately to sell more books! Or possibly I'm just a little old and out of touch. Anyway, when writing about a Comic I'll try to look at the level of the language, the level of violence, if there is any blood or gore, and how much skin that characters are showing. If I feel that there's a lot, or if I feel the Comic edges over some kind of boundery, then I'll class the Comic as Mature. Whatever it was, a Mature Comic had something in it that I didn't think should be seen by little children. |

20th Century Boys20th Century Boys is a book full of flashbacks. There’s an overlaying story-arc that slowly unveils, but mainly the focus is on the protagonists growing up then remembering their childhood. Posted Sunday 18th September 2011 by Crazy Choco

A Certain Scientific RailgunBasically, this is Japanese. By that, I don’t mean that it’s from Japan - although obviously it is. I mean it’s... Japanese. Suffice to say that this book is full of little girls with short skirts and super powers, said little girls beating up men twice their age with said super powers, oh and gratuitous shower scenes.

Chrono CrusadeIt's probably too soon for a series featuring pope John Paul II leading a holy order of priests and nuns to fight evil demons and save the world. But set it back in time a little bit and suddenly it's acceptable! Posted Tuesday 11th August 2009 by Crazy Choco
