Huh?

This was kind of weird. I’m used to seeing the “filled with sex and violence” and “monsters and superheros that seem to dominate” charges against manga in pieces in U.S. media outlets, but in The Daily Yomiuri? I’m always in favor of people saying nice things about Tomoko Ninomiya’s Nodame Cantabile (Del Rey), but the negative context for that praise seems strange to me in a Japanese newspaper.
