TOKYO　−　A major Japanese publisher said it will delete a controversial depiction of the 1937 Nanjing massacre from a comic book, following protests from politicians who claim that it 'distorts history'.

Mr Hiroshi Motomiya, a 57―year−old cartoonist, came under fire for drawing pictures of brutal acts by Japanese soldiers in China next to a photograph.

The cartoon, published in the Weekly Young Jump comics magazine, told the story of a young bureaucrat as Japan headed for World War II and rose from the ashes after its defeat.

In the magazine's Sept 16 and 22 editions, the strip depicted Japanese soldiers slashing Chinese captives forced to line up for execution.

Forty−seven members of local assemblies protested to the publisher last week, saying that the massacre was presented as if it were the truth.

China says some 300,000 civilians were butchered when Japanese troops embarked on an orgy of destruction, rape and murder. Allied trials of Japanese war criminals documented 140,000 victims.

However, some Japanese right―wingers have claimed that the massacre never took place and say that photographs and other evidence documenting it are fakes.

Shueisha Inc. said Wednesday it will halt publication of a "manga" comic featuring the Nanjing Massacre of 1937 in response to complaints by Japanese politicians who claim the slaughter never happened.

The comic series "Kuni ga Moeru" ("The Country is Burning"), authored by popular comic writer Hiroshi Motomiya, is a fictional tale about a bureaucrat in the turbulent times of the early Showa Era (1926-1989).

Publication of the series, which has been carried in Weekly Young Jump magazine since November 2002, will be temporarily suspended from the Oct. 28 edition. Weekly Young Jump is popular among Japanese men.

In the magazine's Sept. 16 and Sept. 22 editions, the comic described Japanese soldiers massacring civilians in Nanjing, China.
