Narrative Warfare: Anti-Globohomo Mangaka Wins Diet Election

Sane anime and manga fans took joy in this weekend's Diet election results. The creator of Love Hina won election to the Diet's upper house. Arch explains.

Yes, this has promise. The trick now is to deliver on it, and being a junior seat-holder Ken will have a serious challenge to his skills at persuasion to get this done.

Yes, this is reason to celebrate. No, this is not over; now he needs to deliver, and a consistent and determined show of both domestic and foreign support over a long period of time for his platform will benefit him in getting it done by demonstrating that there is both domestic and foreign demand for it.

In a time where other heretofore certain things got upset, this is another notch in that direction. The opening now exists to kneecap Globohomo, so exploit it. Fire up the Spirit Ball memes, and lend Ken your energy.
