The Japanese manga series "Dandadan" has been stirring a controversy recently. Mainichi Broadcasting System (MBS), a major television network in Japan, has made a public statement about the event. However, the specifics of the issue at hand, such as the reason for the controversy and MBS's stance on it, are currently unclear from just the headline. Further details would be present in the full article.

Manga series like "Dandadan" are deeply integrated into Japanese pop culture, playing a significant role in media and affecting wide demographic groups. Any controversy surrounding such a series draws attention from across the society. Freedom of speech and expression is respected in Japan, hence MBS's public statement on this issue could also be seen in this context even though the details are not clear from the headline.

In contrast, while comics and animated shows do have a following in the US and EU, they are not as culturally influential as manga in Japan. However, public debates around controversial titles and themes are common across these regions. Broadcast networks in the US or EU also involve themselves in such discussions when deemed necessary.
