Korean manga fans discovered that the official Korean licensed release of *Rent-A-Girlfriend* deleted entire panels rather than simply blurring them — even though the edition was sold as adults-only. This reignited long-simmering anger over Korea's history of aggressive manga censorship.
일본의 유명 만화 '여친, 빌리겠습니다.' 라는 작품의 한국 정발본인데,
흔히 아는 수증기나 김으로 가리는게 아닌, 그냥 컷 자체를 삭제시켜버림
이럴거면 정발을 하지마 시발
🇰🇷 KOREAN REACTIONS 10
It's because deep down there's this attitude that movies are 'high art' but comics are 'stuff for kids' — and that mindset is exactly why this keeps happening.
The old impotent geezers running Korean politics are why we're stuck with this garbage lmaooo
Wait, wasn't the Korean edition sold as adults-only? And they STILL censored it?? What a waste of money.
Since the censorship crisis I just don't want to buy manga in Korea anymore. Done.
To Be Fair, even back in the day 'no censorship' just meant the cover-up lines were slightly smaller than the Japanese version. People called THAT uncensored. I can't even.
If To Love-Ru (a notoriously ecchi manga) got a Korean release today it would be absolutely hilarious to see what's left lmaooo
Honestly at this point just buy the Japanese original from an import site and use AI translation like the smart people do.
Who would even want to pay money for that lmaooo
The anime adaptation is apparently about to cover that scene too — wonder how THAT'S gonna go.
The country of censorship.
