Tokyopop announced that Crimson Spell, the new series by Ayano Yamane, will finally be released uncensored.
Jo Kaps explained the decision in the Tokyopop forum by stating that "Ayano Yamane's books do not address anything that hasn't already been addressed in other forms of literature."
Instead of the planned censorship, there will be large, clearly visible stickers on the shrink-wrapped volumes explicitly indicating the age recommendation of 18 and up. Additionally, retailers will be informed accordingly. The sale of books—unlike DVDs and video games—is not prohibited; it can only be discouraged.
