I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, if I did have children under the age of 18, I wouldn't be too keen on them having easy access to explicit sexual or especially rape manga. Keep it for the adults: put it on the top shelf or behind the counter or whatever. Not that it will stop the most determined, but a measure like that would probably be enough to mollify concerned parents.
(The incest stuff...well, I'm not sure why that would incite young people to sleep with their siblings in real life? C'mon.)
OTOH, this law seems way too vague and could be too widely interpreted. I can see why the publishing companies and artists are concerned. It would be far too easy to abuse.
