Just guessing, as I don't really know their business deals, but they probably signed on to publish all of WSJ's material, rather than this specific comic alone. And no, even if I don't like censorship, I absolutely believe that child porn is an acceptable place to draw the line (assuming that's the issue here). They're not even being too uppity about it, as they're still going to continue publishing other chapters from what I can tell. Hell, it's entirely possible that it would be straight up illegal to publish whatever is in that chapter.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess: Is he drawing prepubescent erotica again?
...It's Japan.
Sure, but you can understand how a western publisher might feel about that, especially in the current climate.
Then why publish it to begin with? You can't be against censorship but say its fine this way.
