Lolicon (ロリコン?), also romanised as rorikon,[1] is a Japanese
portmanteau of the phrase "Lolita complex".[2][3] In Japan, the
term describes an attraction to underage girls,[4] or an
individual with such an attraction.[5][6] Outside Japan, the
term is less common and most often refers to a genre of manga
and anime wherein childlike female characters are depicted in an
erotic manner. The phrase is a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's
book Lolita, in which a middle-age man becomes sexually obsessed
with a twelve-year-old girl.[7] The equivalent term for
attraction to (or art pertaining to erotic portrayal of) young
boys is shotacon.[8]  Some critics claim that the lolicon genre
contributes to actual sexual abuse of children,[9][10] while
others claim that there is no evidence for this,[10][11] or that
there is evidence to the contrary.[12] Although several
countries have attempted to criminalize lolicon's sexually
explicit forms as a type of child porno
