The titan forms of Eren Yeager, as well as Annie Leonhart and many more, were seen wearing ‘black undergarments’ even though no genitals and nipples were shown in the original drawings.
Sharing in a Malaysian community Facebook group, netizen Kelsey Mun shared her astonishment in a public post after seeing Mei Mei — a supporting female character in the manga — was ‘covered up’ in a popular bookstore in Kuala Lumpur.
“Malaysian censorship,” Mun wrote succinctly in the caption.
Speaking to SAYS, Mun said she was amused by the censorship and that she could not understand why the manga cover has to be veiled by a piece of paper.
“It’s not like it is full-on breast,” she said when contacted, adding, “This reminds me of the Attack On Titan wearing pants censorship again.”
Mun said she is a fan of manga and anime, before showing a photo of the original cover, which sees the character’s hair and arm covering her nipples.
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular manga and anime in recent times. The story follows Yuji Itadori and his friends from a mysterious school of Jujutsu Sorcerers on a quest of defending the world against Cursed Spirits.
Many netizens were baffled by the censorship at the bookstore, with several Facebook users referring to the time Attack On Titan’s characters were ‘forced’ to wear underpants.
