"Top manga publisher Shogakukan has banned
almost all online fan activity pertaining to its works,
most notably any form of artwork or doujinshi
based on its characters."

While some of these rules are reasonable, several of them leave "going
overboard" in the dust.

- "Posting pictures or photographs [...] of our characters."
=> Posting pictures of cosplayers is prohibited.

- "Posting [...] tables of contents of our publications."
"Posting plot summaries [...] based on our publications."
=> Reviews are prohibited, too.

WTF?! Talk about ludicrous. o_O
