Remember the Iowa collector who was arrested for buying obscene manga from Japan?  Apparently it was yaoi manga.

Legally, I'm not sure there's a leg to stand on unless there was shouta in the collection, but I wonder if this means they're going to start looking at other licensed manga, especially since the androgynous figures were apparently part of it.

ETA:  I'm also very curious about what made the postmaster suspicious about this guy in the first place.  Was it random, typecasting,  or something about him in particular, whether behavir or problems/accusations/convictions in the past?

Very true.

Likelihood is that the postman is a closet otaku.

"Hmm...this package looks small and inconspicuous enough--wait a minute, it's from JAPAN! It could contain Bloody And Violent Japanese Porn! I must...investigate. Yes. Exactly."
