Patalliro (Feedback requested)

I've read a few chapters at random of Manga.Patalliro, and haven't found anything particularly cut-worthy. While the title character is a perverted 10 year old boy, it doesn't feature him in sexual relationships or play him for titillation from what I've seen thus far.

Based on this post in the series' defense, I'm inclined to vote Keep. However, since it is a very long series and there quite possibly could be damning content that I haven't seen yet, I'd like to get some feedback from other folks before I make my decision.

Tall order, Meeble. I've only just made it through Volumes 1 and 2: Nothing specifically objectionable according to our guidelines, aside from the odd crude joke by the main character and implicit sexual activity between adults. (Unless you wanted to take that "goodnight kiss" gag seriously.)

Problem is, now my eyes need a break.

I certainly don't expect anyone to slog through the entire thing, but any help you can give is much appreciated.

Okay, ran through Volume 11. No explicit content. For stuff involving questionable legal age, we have...

• A one-frame gag of someone "paying" Patalliro with his body for services rendered. Played for crude comedy.
• Some backstory involving an older man preying on a younger boy. Played for drama.

This isn't the kind of stuff we're looking to cut. I'd say that we can keep the work unless new evidence is submitted.

Thanks! That confirms what I was thinking based on the chapters I reviewed. I think I've seen enough to go ahead and give this an Angel vote.

Just leave it. It's not sexy, and doesn't portray the many forms of abuse positively.

Time for a bump.

I've already given my vote for this a couple days ago: to keep. It's just too damn silly to be even 'remotely pornographic or pedo-pandering.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

Gave the final angel vote. Don't think this can justifiably be called porn and pedopandering. Lock time.
