    "Hypersexualization of minors is a continuous problem prevalent in Japan. This particular brand of hypersexualization is known as Lolicon which is the attraction to prepubescent girls, particularly in anime and manga. Historically, it is derived from the 1955 novel titled “Lolita”, which depicts a middle-aged man’s dark obsession with a young girl, but Lolicon didn’t become a recognized genre until the 1970’s when fan artists depicted their favorite female characters of the time as underage girls. There is still ongoing debate within Japanese society about its harmful effects, some dubbing it as a “sickness”, while other individuals find no problem with continuing the practice. Regardless, it is still incredibly easy to find openly in Japan, with convenience stores selling magazines containing lolicon imagery. Utilizing academic research, we will showcase how this problem is influencing and normalizing the attraction to underage girls. We will discuss the impact, local and globally, on the acceptance and societal effect of Lolicon, as well as the steps taken to combat its influence in Japan."
