I lived in Japan for a couple of years, and it was a common occurance to sit on the tube next to a besuited business type, who was openly engrossed in a hardcore pornographic manga/graphic novel. No-one batted an eyelid, but I never quite got used to it.

Other stuff I've read and thought excellent were The Preacher and Gloomcookie. Any others worth a read?
