There's this new manga from the author of After the Rain called Kowloon Generic Romance:
And no, it doesn't involve the recent Hong Kong protests, if if did, it would be a corny forbidden romance story that somehow involves the NBA, Disney, Blizzard and Winnie the Pooh. It's just as the title suggests, a generic romance in Kowloon:

Why is funimation allowed near things:
Funimation Butcher Azur Lane English Dub With Horrid German Accents
It seems anime fans may soon have a reason (or more reason, perhaps) to despise Funimation for something other than their forced inclusion of irrelevant politics, as their dub for the Azur Lane anime adaptation has given Prinz Eugen a heavily fake-sounding German accent. Some of Prinz Eugen's

Because it's either them or nothing. Aniplex only ever does their own shows, Sentai can sometimes be worse than Funi and Viz just focuses on the long runner shows and OPM for the most part.Why is funimation allowed near things:

Still though, you'd figure they'd actually audition actors who can pull off a German accent semi-decently. Simuldubs were a mistake.

They should always cast Tiffany Grant for German voices at this point, I don't know what's stopping Funimation from bringing her in. Yeah, I know some people have an issue with it, but she can at least speak German, and in Little Busters (bad example, but whatevs), she managed to pull off a Russian accent for Kud. Or better yet, I dunno, actually fucking train their younger voice actors how to act? They're gonna have to replace the oldguard sooner or later, but if you won't put in the effort to train them, then suffer the consequences of a shitty dub.
Tabitha Ray is the ADR director, so put all the blame on her. She looks like an amateur, from the looks of her credits, although folks are saying she did pretty well as Hotaru in Dagashi Kashi. So maybe she's a fine voice-actress, but can't direct shit.

It really is a shame to see Funimation fall so hard.

A few years ago at my local library I noticed in the manga section, right next to the children's books, they had Hellsing, yes really.
And I want to say a few other fanservicey type stuff, though I can't remember what exactly, Hellsing is what stuck out to me the most.

You would think people that literally worked in a library would know to at least flip through a book enough to figure out how mature the content is, or at least read some reviews. Even older books can have some extremely mature content. I remember that one time I had to write a book review for a class, and the criteria was that it either had to be fiction from the middle ages, or fiction about the middle ages. I found a book that was written in the 19th century, and within about ten chapters, the main character who was a princess was brutally raped by people trying to sabotage an arranged marriage.

The one where they get on the boat?
Isn't Lesbian Mediu just rated teen? The latter two are both M and pretty well-known even to people who aren't weebs so as funny as it would be it's hard to see a middle school library ever having either of those in stock.
There's no nudity or sex in Hellsing so that's probably why. Looked it up on Amazon and it's rated 13+ (the paperbacks are going for 30-40 bucks now, yeesh).

Started Yu Yu Hakusho and have finished episode 5. It's decent though I hear it gets better later on. Also apparently in the Manga it takes longer for Yusuke to get back to life. Also appears to have a very low filler percentage sitting at an insignificant 5% according to Anime Filler List. Surprising since Pierrot would later produce Naruto and Naruto Shippuden: shows infamous for their high filler percentage

There's a lot of bloody violence though, but I suppose 13+ is a pretty fair age rating, the trouble though like I said is the manga was right next to the children's section, so there would be nothing stopping a kid under 13 from wandering into the manga section and discovering that.
However I think they got wise because I just remembered that I've been back to that library more recently and I think they had moved the manga section away from the children's section as a matter of fact, but it's still funny that there at least was a time where that wasn't the case.

Shueisha Says Female Jump Editors Need to 'Understand the Hearts of Boys'

Weekly Shonen Jump has never had a female editor in its 50-year history

Last week, an anonymous Twitter user sparked a conversation when they spoke of Shueisha visiting their university. When asked "Can women become editors at Shonen Jump?," Shueisha HR allegedly said, "It's not without precedent, but you have to understand the hearts of boys."
Huffington Post Japanreached out to Shueisha and confirmed that this was the company's stance towards hiring female editors. Shueisha's full statement to the Huffington Post is translated below:
Huffington Post notes that Shueisha did not actually make it clear whether women can become editors at Weekly Shonen Jump.
Editors at Weekly Shonen Jump have referred to the lack of female editors before. In a radio interview posted in October 2018 to celebrate the magazine's 50th anniversary, current deputy editor in chief Kōhei Ōnishi stated frankly that Weekly Shonen Jump has never had a single female editor in its entire history. He also described the workplace as like a "a boys-only high school." (Via @iceemperor_mh and @YonkouProd)
In the non-fictional manga series The Right Way to Make Jump! by Takeshi Sakurai, first published on Jump+ in 2014, Weekly Shonen Jump deputy editor in chief Sōichi Aida said that there were no female editors working at the magazine. He explained that "Jump's main target is boys about middle school age." When asked if he would hire female editors if he were editor in chief, he stated, "No, I'd make the department even more manly!" (Via @kimberlypham__)

The lack of female editors has raised concerns about gender discrimination at Shueisha. In a series of now deleted tweets, manga artist Kaori Ishikawa, who draws ROCKING YOU!!! for Jump+, commented on the issue. She wrote: "It's not a matter of 'women should work harder in order to get hired.' It's a matter of people not getting into the Jump editorial team on the basis of being a woman, and I don't understand the reasoning for that." She also wrote: "I'm going to keep drawing fake shonen manga for the rest of my life, so if you like fake shonen manga, please read it."
One tweet, which is still public at the time of this article's posting, reads: "It's painful to be told that it's a lie, but I hope that one day we'll be able to talk about it normally. I'm going to keep drawing manga, so please read it if you like."
The incident has prompted Twitter users to share examples of prominent female shonen manga creators who "understand the hearts of boys." A viral tweethighlighting Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spooncreator Hiromu Arakawa has accumulated more than 18,000 retweets.
Anime News Network reached out to Shueisha for further comment on the issue. When asked why Weekly Shonen Jump is different from shojomagazines, which frequently employ male editors despite a target audience of young girls, a spokesman said: "Unfortunately, at this current point in time, we can't comment on these questions beyond what Shueisha's public relations team has already stated. We will however be conscious of these questions and the fact that many fans worldwide are thinking deeply about the situation."
