Germany Restricts Yaoi Manga Title

Brigid Alverson writes that her correspondents concerning manga that live in Germany have told her that a Tokyopop Germany-published yaoi title called Finder, by Ayano Yamane, has been "indexed" by the German government. This means that not only is the title banned from being sold, but there are apparently restrictions on discussing/advertising the work. Alverson describes the whole affair more succinctly than I'm able to, but it seems interesting that some of the common-sense rules for the dissemination of such material seem to kick in only when the work is essentially banned.
