This is quite accurate, but...
... this doesn't give you a full indication of just how pornographic manga can be! Imagine comic books that covers EVERY fetish imaginable.
There is so much pornographic content in manga. The majority of porn manga deal with bondage and rape, both gay and straight. B&D is a popular theme in Japan. If you look at the manga rack in a 7-Eleven, you find an entire section with the manga tied up to prevent 'looking.' And this is in a convenience store! Imagine how many different ones get sold in the Adult book stores!

It is also worth noting that pornagraphic manga has landed an American in prison in the last year, so I can understand, from a business standpoint, Amazon being a little gun-shy on carrying certain titles. Does it irk me that they only removed the homosexual material and none of the graphic straight titles? Sure. But they are within their rights. It irks me that my local bookstore only carries political books that cover half the political spectrum of my country while largely ignoring the other half. But they are a business and they sell, stock and market what will make them money - not what will make one group or another feel discriminated against. And I say that being a member of that particular group. I am gay. I read yuri manga (though not the hentai - pornagraphic - yuri manga). But there are so many other real causes that affect me (like the ability to wed my partner) that I just dont have it in me to get upset at a business making a business decision.
