Listopia > Controversial Manga

Manga that faced controversy for its content or topics. These often face heavy censorship and strife reaching English-speaking audiences or even mainstream publication at all. This includes manga adaptations of controversial novels and art books by mangaka. Manhwa and manhua, the Korean and Chinese equivalents to manga, are very welcome on this list as well.
Please do not add Western graphic novels, or manga originally published in English!
