Wow, that post about YA is rage-making. I don't read a lot of YA fiction, but I do read a lot of manga, and as you noted, most manga is aimed at teens, especially the hugely popular stuff. Hell, I've even read and enjoyed series aimed at pre-teens (if your protagonist is 12 or 13, you can bet the target age is a few years younger). I've never once felt like a pedophile for doing so, wtf.

And there was a commenter in the post saying that YA was something new and just a flash in the pan. Uh...there was YA when I was a kid and I'm 32.
