Part three of a series on the ethics of imaginary violence in contemporary Japan, this article turns from manga, anime and games broadly to more explicitly pornographic texts. Concretely, it zooms in on Cream Lemon, the longest running and most influential pornographic anime series in the 1980s. Positioned as both a part of and apart from 'the lolicon boom', Cream Lemon is a rich resource that has yet to be widely explored in English-language scholarship. Drawing on manga/anime editor and critic Sasakibara Gō, this article offers a close analysis of an episode of Cream Lemon. This episode holds a mirror to its viewers at the height of their excitement, complexifying pleasure by putting it into the larger context of the lolicon boom and Japanese society in the 1980s. The supposedly marginalized manga/anime fan, the one labeled an 'otaku', is thus asked to scrutinize his own role in marginalizing others.
