 Such works were largely suppressed by the government, however.As the Japanese manga ("comics") market developed after World War II, erotic dramas such as "Ero Mangatropa" (1973), "Erogenica" (1975), and "Alice" (1977) were produced.In 1979, manga artist Azuma Hideo produced "Cybele", which featured sexually explicit stories with characters drawn in a cute, "cartoony" style, which led to the rise of lolicon anthologies featuring precocious girls, such as "Lemon People" and "Petit Apple Pie".
