Already done.
Actually, things didn't turn out as bad as I thought... for the most part.
She checked it out, asked if she could rip out the pages (I begged her to do so, in a slightly crazed state), and told me that I should probably stay away from the series. She later described to me what I know isn't takahashi's work, but enough to freak my mom out: She had seen, apparently, a manga that involved... no. For the sake of younger members, I will not state what went on... nevertheless, I know that it wasn't the original.
This little experience has actually made me realize something. If it IS our mission to bring people to Christ, possibly by anime/manga, then it's OUR DUTY to clean up its act a bit! We're already on our way, but what we need is some manga artists to wipe out the market with MUCH cleaner stuff.
It's terrible that I have to near-abandon my favorite series (There's always fanfiction and fanmanga), but I at least know what it is that we as anime/manga fans need, and we've been zeroing in on it gradually: Christian anime/manga.
(Good thing my mom decided to keep the whole bit a secret.)
