When you have erectile dysfunction, manga is there.
ComiPress reports that pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. is using manga by Salaryman Kintaro’s Hiroshi Motomiya to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Sometimes you don’t even have to make the joke.
Apparently the manga is doing pretty well:
“According to Pfizer, only 2 days after Nisemono? first appeared on its website on 7/23, the site’s traffic reached the same level as the total traffic from the previous month, showing that the manga played an important role in attracting visitors.”
Now, was it people who are actually looking for help, or people who thought it was funny? I’m betting both.

So, your last post asked why the media gets the “anime” definition wrong. Then this post.
Umm, I think we are answering our own questions. =)
Of course, if manga floats your boat and actual women/men don’t then there may be another issue at work, other than erectile dysfuntion.

Well, first off, a manga about erectile dysfunction isn’t necessarily porn.
And second, no one argues that there IS anime and manga porn out there. Only that there is also anime and manga that is NOT porn. Any journalist worth their salt should be able to figure that out fast.
