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?

GIven what I read about his collection, it's possible they picked up on him because he was ordering large quantities of stuff from overseas and they were suspicious of him being a porn dealer or something. Or someone could have turned him in--that happens all the time.
