Gunsmith Cats manga question

In the first volume of the GSC manga, there is a strange scene in chapter 2
that has puzzled me for so long.

Am I imagining things or is Minnie-May giving that man a blow-job?

Dark Horse Comics edits out the lesbian sex in Ghost in the Shell, yet this is
kept in?

        Well, DH did grey it out.  Was still obvious what MM was doing, but
the male organ didn't show.

Yes, she is.

No, it wasn't.  They clipped that page out of the individual issue (which,
due one distributor forgetting to offer it, is quite rare) and restored it
in the TPB.

And IIRC it was Shirow who thought he went too far with the lesbian orgy
and had it clipped out of the US version, along with redrawing the panel
leading up to it.

That reminds me...Yoshiyuki Tomino himself is said to have asked that an
episode be deleted from his original "MS Gundam" series before it aired on
CN last year.  I seem to see similar revisions being made by a lot of
Japanese authors and producers when they feel dissatisfied with some element
in their past work.

Just was IS/was the fan opinion at large about Nagai anyway? He seems really
good at being able to tell stories and even put some humor in them, but
apparently his sense of shock scares off a lot of people. (Or maybe did it
cause he thought people WERE too uptight...)

Did they?  That may have been in the original Japanese manga given the old
restrictions on showing pubic hair and genetalia.  In fact there was a
translated Go Nagai manga I saw a few years ago where he drew a scene to
blatantly show his new freedom to show pubic hair since the law had changed.
Can't remember how exactly.

        I just got "Bonnie and Clyde" last Thursday, and it's grayed out.
Fresh off the presses, or should be at least.

Sonoda greyed it out, not Dark Horse.  The scene is exactly the same in
the original tankobon.

        Sorry - I wasn't too clear on that.

        Dunno if the Japanese manga is grayed out or not, although I was
told once that having the grayed-out one was worth extra $$ as a collectable
since it wasn't grayed on later printings, but was making the point that
DH's collection has it grayed out ALSO.

You seem to have missed my point, which is that the "featureless" genetalia
may have been in the original Japanese manga, and not added in by Dark
Horse.

My Japanese copy, which is far from a first printing is also grayed out.

I don't think Japanese manga companies are bothering to go back and
'ungray' the censored bits in regular manga.
