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?

Interestingly enough, this must be a special case. I live in Iowa, along with some other yaoi fans, and I know I have ordered shouta yaoi from out of the country (Shut up, it was a Kuroshitsuji doujin) and I haven't been arrested. Actually, I don't know of anyone who's been arrested.

I'm thinking it must be random, honestly.

Random, or something about the guy himself.
