Well, I'd say that good manga to me would be manga with:
--Minimal nudity (or none for that matter)
--A manga that has good characters, or bad characters that change for the better.
--If there are bad things in it, I like to see them frowned upon by other characters.
--I don't freak out some minor language, but it makes me happy when there's not excessive language.
--I don't really like alot of hacking off of limbs or decapitations. But I can stand a little bit of violence.
That would be the paper-cut out for good manga in my book.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
