I wonder why Yuuna manga is the only one WSJ manga not available on MangaPlus site?

Hah! Brilliant!
This is a nice sneak around censorship issues and I'm also sure that it will be good for drumming up marketing hype too.

It's the only running Jump title that isn't licensed by Viz. Seven Seas has it.

Just askin', but are Yokai Girls, To Love Ru, and TLR-Darkness from the same magazine, thus not licensed by VIZ, which instead went to SSE?

Manga+ is run by Shueisha, not Viz, so Yuuna could technically be put on that app; it can't be put on the Shonen Jump app, which is run by Viz.
Anyway, I have to give this idea credit, because it's honestly pretty damn brilliant. Now to wait for the follow-up article about how people in Japan overreact to this idea.

WSJ is magazine target at 10-17 years old boys. I can't even imagine how big backslash would be in west if popular magazine for kids do this. On other hand boys are horny so they know their audience.

I had to go look them up, looks like Yokai Girls is Young Jump, TLR actually was WSJ, and Darkness ran in Jump Square. Viz does run some Square titles through its day-and-date serialization efforts (Seraph of the End, Blue Exorcist, now World Trigger), but TLR was always a little spicy for Viz's palate.

I'm not familiar with the licensing differences between Manga+ and SJ (and I use SJ), but I was thinking about it in terms of weekly serialization, which I imagine would require Seven Seas to do the lifting there. So it could happen but I wouldn't hold my breath.

That is some genius level manga design that might get the mangaka in a bit of trouble even if it does seem quaint by western standards. It is interesting that 30 years ago nipples could be shown on a prime time anime such as Dragon Ball but now they have to be censored even on a late night anime such as Yuuna. This might the most amusing way I have heard for a manga to get around that modern limitation.

The author of tolove ru did it first, albeit it was not on the cover; he also did the pretty "illegal" version where it was not the nipples, but a certain bodypart that always gets censored by law.

I can't imagine if this happen in my country, it would have be a national scandal and parents might be overreacting and over complaining because of that. TRUTH

Let's be realistic here. Even without the nipples the art is more than most countries would allow for that demographic.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I think we should be glad that they're not licensed by VIZ because they would censored it (they're more of anti-ecchi ones).

Too be fair anime nudity back then was extremely lacking in detail. Whenever you got to see Fraw Bow, Bulma, Ranma, or any other girl topless their nipples were literally just small dots. It might have worked for guys back then, but these days I dunno if it would  These days when an anime can go full ecchi on an OVA or home video release and show nipples, they're way more detailed, anatomically accurate, and erotic.
Of course there were exceptions to the rule, especially in the growing OVA/hentai market of the 90s Shoutout to Satoshi Urushihara, he was a great artist

Kids? Marvel and DC have pretty much been devoid of any kind of fanservice or sexual content for over a decade now. There's a huge backlash any time an artist draws a heroine too attractive. An actual nipple would probably cause an apocalypse

On the one hand, clever and hilarious. On the other, do those nipples look grossly misaligned to anyone else? It just bothers me intensely that all this work went into “hiding” them when they aren’t even drawn properly. :/
