Removed this entry b/c I am not sure if we should trope the non-censored content:
Misblamed: While most of the game is uncensored, the English translation by JAST USA was initially buggy and had the scenes with Kokoro and her friend (both underage characters) removed. While the former is the fault of JAST USA's quality check team not doing their job, the latter is not the fault of JAST USA, but an issue with laws in other countries where the game may be sold. This is because Lolicon and Shotacon content, unlike Child Pornography, falls under the protection of the US American constitution as artistic expression, but in countries like Australia or the UK they are considered the same thing, thus illegal. So to get the game sold officially at all and not make their customers risk their own lives, Jast USA had to remove that content. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Jast made the most money by selling articles of Kokoro herself and still did after the game's release.
