Vice President of Books Kinokuniya store chain Keijiro Mori wrote a response to the complaint and confirmed that the following titles have been removed from the stores:
- Eromanga Sensei.
- Sword Art Online.
- Goblin Slayer.
- No Game No Life.
- Boku wa Mari no Naka.
- Parallel Paradise
- Seikoku no Dragonar.
Mori also added that the bookstore will contact the Australian Classification Board for advice on the matter. In response to Bonaros' question about whether the books “had been removed from all the stores in the world”, Mori clarified: “In terms of our actions at the global level, wherever our stores are located, we will respect local laws and their culture, so their opinions do not compete there ".
Bonaros is part of a party belonging to the "Central Alliance" of South Australia. In February, Senator Stirling Griff of the same alliance called for a review of all the anime and manga available in Australia, expressing concern that these media "offer child pornography." Griff used the Eromanga Sensei series as a reference, noting that it expresses "child exploitation" and "strong references to incest", and stated that "many scenes are too strong, so much so that I cannot describe them"
