I tend to agree with you. I'm sure not all people who read those types of manga are pedophiles, and while I honestly haven't researched the subject, it seems to me that I'd much rather people who are afflicted with pedophilia get their jollies from reading manga (as opposed to child pornography or child abuse). As you mentioned, no children were harmed in the making of comics or stories. This type of content is surely disturbing, but I think banning something just on that is a dangerous road to start walking down.
