Watchmen?
Watchmen is set in the US not Japan (hence why it talks about US politics and Richard Nixon); the smiley face is just a smiley face - no creepy stitching in the mouth. Was a badge worn by The Comedian. Watchmen was a graphic novel written in the 80's, not a webcomic...
I don't recall anything like that though, sorry. But at least you know it's not Watchmen ;)
(never mind)

Annarki (I think that's the correct spelling). It is/was on Smack Jeeves, right? I'm like 99% sure that's the comic you're looking for.
That's it! Thanks so much
A webcomic set in Japan, really dark... Yaoi tones... A recurring image was that of this creepy yellow smiley face that sort of looked like this O_o and the mouth was stitched. Mention of anarchy... Very sexual in nature.
The main character was abused by his father, and another of the main cast was a gay, male Ganguro.
