Chapter 10 references something that happened with Miyazaki Tsutomu, the Otaku Killer.
A reporter, Kobayashi Toshiyuki, went into Miyazaki's bedroom, and said in his 2015 book that since there was nothing related to erotica that's visible within the bedroom, a TV cameraman scrounged around and moved some books into a pile, so they could get a 'good picture' for the newspapers. The book that was featured most prominently was a normal ero-gekiga book called '若奥様のナマ下着', and the mass media called it Lolicon (since that's what they wanted to blame for Miyazaki's actions). Before Toshiyuki admitted this, there was a deleted blogpost way back in the early 2000s of someone who was there during the incident and he saw someone put '若奥様のナマ下着' on top of other books, and people examining that out-of-place ero-book and the other Bishoujo Manga magazines find it suspicious that they're all ones that would've only been available at newsstands when police were walking in and out of the bedroom rather than being older issues Miyazaki could've purchased. So there's strong feelings that Toshiyuki's cameraman didn't 'find' the book, but planted it.
This manga is work of fiction, but it's not describing some mysterious what-if Japan that's more like China or whatnot, but rather creating a caricature of what has happened and has been happening within Japan over the last 40 years.
