Maybe some of you actually know of good titles in this type. Girl in question is 12, but is more into stuff for somewhat older girls, so I would not recommend her very safe, kid stuff, as that will not interest her. Also, no faggotry please, the world is pushing that shit on all of us all the time, so it's best to not open another venue for it. Needs to be available in English, and the more obscure stuff I might not be able to get for her, I assume it is at least somewhat limited what books I can get here.
She is also into horror movies, if that helps.
Thank you to any of you fine gentlemen for any recommendations.
yeah, but you don't raise the issue by giving them mere soft-porno japanese comics before they find the werewolf stuff online. it's like getting them started on weed in hopes they don't do coke later. why get them started on anything?
Because we live in the real world where they can and will not only have a chance of being exposed to it, but also can stumble upon it themselves.
Nobody was saying give them softcore porn, unless you consider all "romance" to be such (which isn't entirely wrong but not right either), but trying to just take away things they are interested in and hide them away from things just makes kids more interested in it.
Which is where topics like this come in. A man attempting to find safe things for a young girl (daughter or niece I assume) to consume that isn't completely deranged or degenerate while also appealing to her already existing interests. Something that will allow him to converse with and teach her things that she will at some point be exposed to regardless or simply have a healthy outlet for her own enjoyment.
Kids need hobbies, trying to take them all away because you are super scared they might get exposed to something baddie bad is what the parents of millenials did and we all saw how that turned out in terms of preparing them for the real world.
Heck its manga, getting kids to read should always be a thing to encourage period.
sure, but calling "ecchi manga" something you read, the same way you read a Sherlock Holmes story, is already well into "today's rightist is yesterday's leftist" territory. and that's pretty much what some upvoted guy up above recommended, with torn shirts and side boobs illustrated, presumably in detail.
i think it's conceding something that shouldn't be conceded.
He never asked for ecchi. He said romance with a side dish of horror, maybe.
Reading Sherlock Holmes stories will not turn a child into a detective or a murderer. It is entertainment. Fantasy.
Ecchi IS something you read! It is NOT hentai, which is mostly wanking material.
Archie comics are not the same as Penthouse magazine, ok? Ecchi is not hentai. Betty & Veronica in bikinis or kissing boys isn't the same as "Deep Throat", ok?
And nobody said anything about ecchi except one guy in a completely different chain recommending a single series he liked. Manga has a huge fanservice problem of varying levels, and he is being honest and I doubt he would fault you for saying "that's too much for this kid." We are almost all adult men here, not teen girls; asking for suggestions is going to be most of us scrapping the barrel for the least bad we know of.
This chain, however, has been guys calling "romance" in general erotic and pornographic. Which might be true on some deeper level of philosophizing, but its also impossible to prevent girls from consuming romance just out of natural predilection. There is no conceding, its appealing to what normal girls enjoy and finding a healthier outlet for it.
There is a difference between letting your son watch an action movie like Transformers and one like a bloody war film. Both are scratching the same natural itch, but one is more suited to his age and attempting to bar him from it does nothing helpful for his development while the other is rightfully too much for him to handle.
Which, again, is the entire purpose of this topic. Finding something appropriate for the age presented. Not conceding to "let her see a little fuckin'" but maybe find a series about characters having a wholesome romance.
Not at all. If they LIKE a certain genre already, and ask for further things with some criterium? You are far better off giving some suggestions that are NOT harmful than to let them wander into the minefield that is manga which often overlaps with hentai.
Asking a bunch of us WEEBS for advice is... 100% "good dad"!
