>>286446311This one knewShe just said the writing was so moving that she had to draw it
>>286446333Yatsunami Itsuki and his editor met with illustrator Yukihira Kaoru to explain his past pen name and the details of the incident. After learning of the various risks that could befall him if the truth became public, he accepted the request to illustrate the work, stating, "It was the first time in my life that I cried while reading the manga (original work), and I felt that this was a work that I was meant to draw. The theme, social significance, and appeal of this work should be shared with the world."We consulted with Yukihira Kaoru in advance about making Yatsunami Itsuki's past public. Yukihira Kaoru has expressed her intention to continue serializing the series and continuing her own illustration work.
>>286446333women moment
This guy barely did anything unlike the kenshin author or toriko author but the other two get a pass becuase their manga was bigger and they're friends with oda
>>286446291Shogakukan revealed that "ACT AGE" author Matsuki Tatsuya was hired by Manga One Editorial under a penname too. Matsuki was found guilty in 2020 for committing a coerced indecent act on a female middle school student which lead to the cancellation of "Act Age" in Shonen Jump back then. He's actually also the author "Yatsunami Miki" of Fantasy Manga "The Counselor through the Years and Stars" together with artist Yukihira Kaoru.Manga One Editorial had informed artist Yukihira Kaoru in this case beforehand and they agreed to draw the work due to its quality. The manga is halted for now.In the wake of a internal investigation following the recent Manga One scandal, it was decided to be made public.
>>286446291I knew of the other case that sparked the whole shitshow, are you saying Matsuki was also on MangaOne? Burn Shogakukan down, goddamn.
Yeah based Matsuki didn't deserved this. We're going too far now.
>>286446291>A second sexual assualter has hit Shogakukan
>>286446435it's the same guy
Is this fucking real
>>286446440No, the original allegation was against Shoichi Yamamoto being reinstated with the pen name Hajime Ichiro. The case was completely different from Matsuki's too.
>>286446291What's crazy reading the article is Shoggy confirmed that they were the ones who contacted MatsukiA MangaOne editor hit up his Twitter account, Matsuki wasn't trying to get back in the manga industry. They asked him if he was interested in working with them.
>>286446450were you a reader?
>>286446291Matsuki my GOAT
>>286446291They should give Shiro a gun
Maybe loli isn't just drawings...
>>286446462based retards
>>286446291Wait another pedo rehire hit MangaOne? Wtf is going on over there? Are they just intentionally seeking out creeps?
This one stings a bit since Matsuki is actually good and I really want him to come back under a pseudonym and start fresh.
I never got over this. Should I gve Ichi the Witch a chance? I'm not interested in bog-standard shonenslop but it does have Usazaki's art.
>>286446483at least pick a correct case to do this you retard
Release the Odafiles
>>286446362But he still did it and he did it in such a way that begged to be caught. The other two don't even have a career anymore and no one cares about them. Even as Oda's friends, they are irrelevant and won't be successful in anything anymore.I also think suits still aren't happy about all the money he made them lose and all the brands he fucked over.
>>286446291Hidden in plain sight? Interesting fact, that Miki penname in Japanese is 八ツ波樹.樹 can be also read as Itsuki.Itsuki YatsunamiMatsuki Tatsuya
>>286446291why do they keep rehiring sex offenders?
>>286446462Of course, they would lmao he wrote shonen jumps only breakout hit in the last five years. And none of the editorial departments give a damn about these guys being pedos
Made in Abyss guy is still clean btw
imagine if it was aka that was touching kids and this guy who got the multimedia projects
>>286446500wasn't toriko guy just a case he didn't know it was a minor?
>>286446362>This guy barely did anything unlikehow much are they paying you?
>>286446291Wait, it's the bike guy? I thought it was someone else
apparently they reached out to him, not the reverse
>>286446494Interstate post

>>286446491Although Usazaki's the one that's drawing, Act-Age was mostly influenced by Matsuki. That's why you can see why his latest mangaka wants to work with him despite the criminal record.
>1000 year old totally not loli elfHmm interesting choice
>>286446514My man Tsukushi is the most wholesome mangaka around.
>>286446521They hired TWO authors convicted of sexual assault against minors.
>>286446491It's actually pretty good, I like it so far.But Act-Age was a masterpiece. I don't blame them for trying to rehire the guy for a different work.
>>286446491I gave it a shot since I liked Iruma and was happy that Shiro got a serialization, so I read it up to the end of the Gokuraku arc and I don't think it's very good. At least it didn't have anything that could have kept me reading.
>>286446352>It was the first time in my life that I cried while reading the manga (original work), and I felt that this was a work that I was meant to draw>read the first pages>it’s a copy of Frieren So japs really?
>>286446538>Matsuki's big comeback is a Frieren rip-off
>>286446494The manag he's writing is about a thousand year old loli you fucking idiot
>>286446538>that much clothing on a elfdisgusting
Act age was a bangerThis manga is a bangerLet him keep working. He has talent unlike the pooping on girls man
To be honest, maybe it's just in comparison to what was just revealed, but is it 'terrible' to allow him to return to manga? He got fired, and rightfully so, but if a whole different company hired him, is it necessary that he gets fired? It's not as if he should be forever unemployable, even though what he did was really trashy and bad, he still has to work. Is it just that being a writer is considered a privileged job in society, and that he should be barred from it? Or maybe it's that his identity was being hidden that's the problem.I dunno.
When will Sandrovich Yabako's heinous crimes come to light
>>286446291 He agreed to have his identity revealed and expressed remorse, the article says. Probably will not go well for him but I guess the remorse is genuine? or damage control before further investigation. Anyways, shouldn't do creepy shit in the first place.
>>286446491Ichi's a bog standard shonen slop. It's probably slightly above average.
>>286446596>pooping on girls manNo way, that's what the other guy was doing?
>>286446612he should have been raped on prison minimum
The funny thing is is that he hadn't even done anything wrong yet this time.He already paid the price with having Act-Age cancelled. He was just unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire of another degenerate while one the road to redemption.
>>286446613what crimes? his writing?
>>286446291poor guy matsuki already atoned but somehow still got involved in other retard case
>>286446582yeah so she is sexualized a lot right?
>>286446291I don't see the problem of hiring someone convicted of a crime if they've paid their debt to society and the job doesn't put them in an inappropriate position.
>>286446612No. This is the correct punishment for being a pedo.
>>286446612>but if a whole different company hired himShogakukan owns Shueisha
>>286446491Ichi fucking sucks, read Someone Hertz instead if you want Act Age vibes.
>>286446624Do you think his victim (s) feel this way? Weird post.
>>286446623>>286446631>>286446635He never set a foot on prisonHe was sentenced to 1 and a half year but he got a suspension for 3 years (if he reincides in that time he will go to prison)
>>286446612Trying to keep it hidden is unacceptable. Imagine if one of his victims was a fan of his new manga.
>>286446291>#230520352035020 stories on how revenge is bad and how bad people can change>NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THISI don't understand
>>286446651So if someone has a past criminal history are they just expected to spend the rest of their life eating shit when they've already gone through legal proceedings?
>>286446291>Hiring TWO convicted sex offendersHOLY FUCKING BASED
>>286446291This is honestly fucking hilarious lmao
>>286446667This isn't "revenge". The coward is hiding his identity.
>>286446612They basically said he deserves a second chance and explained why they thought he made progress towards change, but they still kept everything hidden. That just feels dishonest. If they truly believed in him that much they would've kept his original name
Man some of you guys are talking like he raped and ate a baby come on.
>>286446667maybe those stories are pure slop and pure idealism
>>286446672Yes, what do you think a sex offenders list is, retard?
>Drugs - unforgivable >Molesting JCs - as long as he's sorryThe manga IS interesting I'll give him that
>>286446291He's good writer and his crime wasn't even that bad. Let him write
>>286446491>Should I gve Ichi the Witch a chance?Nope. I actually recommend you to ruin your own life I can assure you it won't be as shitty.
all this shows is that molesting/raping m*nors is seen as not a big deal in japan
>>286446672What if they are black
>>286446667Anon, forgiveness and redemption are Christian concepts. Nobody genuinely believes in it outside the church; those are tropes for fiction
Tanuuchi is still banned from the industry for a little weed btw
>>286446291shogakukan sought him out too? it was a deliberate decision to employ him specifically
>>286446702You're making me kinda interested for the wrong reasons. What's so bad about it?
>>286446291that's crazylike, he already got arrested and already got prosecuted how is he supposed to pay the damages bill if he can't work?
>>286446699And people with a criminal history still find a way to return to society and find work, you idiot.You think they throw people in jail and don't try to reform them?
>>286446291Please, please, please let Act-Age come back!
>>286446703Trump demonstrated that it's no big deal in the US either
>>286446706Naruto bros.......
>>286446352>It was the first time in my life that I cried while reading the manga (original work), and I felt that this was a work that I was meant to drawwow this must be a really unique and creative series let's look it u->The hearts of the hero's party have grown weary. A world where humans and demons are at war.>The Sage, Sofia, places her hope on Hoshino, a psychological counselor that transported from modern Japan
>>286446729>randomly bringing trump when its your entire governmentanon pls
>Matsuki admitted to the charge in November. The prosecution had sought a 18-month prison sentence without suspension, while defense had sought a suspended sentence, arguing that the defendant had received punishment in society such as the cancellation of his manga series.Getting your manga axed is worse tham prison apparently
>>286446656So he didn't pay for what he did then, how can they vouch for him like this then? What a bunch of idiots
>>286446362>>286446670Keep coping, dude. They didn't go out of their way to grope a kid.Had He not been stopped, He would have scatlated it.
>>286446703>comparing molesting to rape
>>286446291I read the articles and it's a huge nothing burger. The girl basically deserved it because she kept texting him back and wanted more. It was a purely consensual relationship.
>>286446699>Yes, what do you think a sex offenders list is, retard?The list just made sure people know their past, it doesn't mean they should be unemployed forever. You are suggesting that he should become a criminal full-time since you don't want him to have legal work.
so is it a good manga?
>>286446291he's a scum for what he did but he's served his sentence, do they want him to kill himself or what?
>>286446755>so is it a good manga?no
>>286446755its isekai slop
>>286446744Yes, especially since it's already a hit.
>>286446759>>286446762that illustrator has shit taste
>>286446753this desu, /a/ is just moral grandstanding when the dude seems like a stand up guy, she was what? 15? Pretty much begged for it
>>286446749Kenshin author had cp in his possessionToriko author fucked a kidThey're way worse.
>>286446753This is the drive by bike groping guy
>>286446291I speak for everyone when i say we all want him to keep writing
>>286446755>so is it a good manga?This.i don't care if the writer is literally Hitler, if the story itself is actually good. The product needs to speak for itself. And anyone who doesn't deserve execution, should be allowed to work for a living. The alternative is feeding them using government money.
>>286446769its a woman and the manga is about isekai therapy so....
>>286446740It made her cry because therapists don't exist in real life Japan.
>>286446750>Anon is asking for itI shit you not anons but this slut right here will pull up a woman moment and call it rape the moment He loses control of the situation.
>>286446755'Girl gets isekai'd to do PTSD counseling on the heroes' is unique at the very least
>>286446773He did nothing wrong in my eyes, I would of did the same honestly.>>286446775So? Seems like a good dude.
>>286446780Shogakukan...
>>286446783women just love therapy eveyrwhere in the world
>>286446780Exactly, he deserves another chance. He
>>286446291>sexual predators keep writing battle shonen and "moving" storiesFor all we know Akihito Tsukushi could be giving away Made in Abyss money to some victims of Cheese Pizza associations
>>286446753>I read the articles and it's a huge nothing burger. The junkie basically deserved it because the junkie kept texting his drugdealer back and wanted more. It was a purely consensual relationshipThat's how you sound.
All this sudden blatant bait... Anyways the story is pretty bland. He's only real opportunity was act age.
>>286446291The dude who made Kaiji's OST is banned from the anime industry because he smoked a bit of weed btw
>>286446781>And anyone who doesn't deserve execution, should be allowed to work for a livingWhile he doesnt deserves execution he deserves at least one prison rape
>>286446792>>286446803Hopefully we see him get another big hit, he has talent and this case is pretty much a blip on the radar.
>>286446719They don't hide their fucking identity, you fucking idiot.
>>286446815What? She consented, Japan isnt like your mutt country where the AOC is 25 before you can have sex. Incel.
>>286446291Act Age artist must feel so cucked. Imagine having such a retarded writer being caught too just before the anime/stage play/merch
>>286446780Based. In a sea full of garbage it’s such a waste to let this generational talent go just because he did a little groping.
Why is /a/ defending this guy? Is /a/ all pedophiles?
>>286446491Asking genuinely, what do you see in her art? It feels like any other art style, it doesn't really stand out
>>286446651Had he used his real name, the manga would be more popular simply because it's controversial which has nothing to do with its quality and that would be even worse.
>>286446291A man should not be shamed for wanting to ride his bike
>>286446837They don't broadcast it either you fucking mongoloid.
>>286446757I don't think someone who committed sexual assault should get away with just a slap on the wrist and being able to be involved in this kind of industry under another pen-name yeah
>>286446780>>286446849Most guys grope a few girls to cope a feel, it's normal. /a/ is filled with puritanical Karen's.
>>286446852Anon...
>>286446613Bikeman's writing talent and his incredible passion for bike-based molesting crimes are interlinked. Because Sandro is a mediocre writer, his only crime is being a hack.
>>286446701Would you say the same if he did this to your daughter or loliwife?
>>286446857Then maybe he should have thought of that, you dumb bitch
>>286446291Another one?
>>286446824>While he doesnt deserves execution he deserves at least one prison rapeBut HE didn't rape anyone. He harassed girls but he isn't a rapist or attempted rapist. He was a creep but not a violent one. Yes, he did illegal things, but just as assault isn't murder, what he did wasn't rape. So you are not punishing his crimes, you are punishing his thoughts. You don;t do that.We punish people by what they DO, not what they think. He did wrong, but he is not a rapist. If he was i would have recommended that he be in prison. But he is not.
>>286446774>Kenshin author had cp in his possessionActually molesting someone >>>> pornalwaysToriko author was a victim of a fraud. I don't expect you to understand jackshit but I know you will scream and shout like a bitch if you are a victim of fraud.Do us a favor and stop. Your retarded posts will only make retards think they're welcome here. You are misleading lurkers
>>286446865Many mangaka/LN authors have been in sexual assault cases and generally get a slap on the wrist, it's a normal thing for most men.
>>286446883I hope you never have a kid
>>286446878Absolutely, it's perfectly normal for ojisans to cop a feel. Even if it's my daughter. All men need an outlet.
>>286446291 According to this statement, it was Shogakukan editors asked first and arranged a work meeting with Tatsuya Matsuki via Twitter, requesting that he adapt his serialised novel from another fiction website into 'Seisou no Shinrishi' to be published through Shogakukan.Moreover, they claimed that 'only a handful of editors' were aware of the arrangement, as though this were some sort of good thing.
>>286446839>What? She consentedJust when You think anons couldn't be more retarded...
>>286446878>Would you say the same if he did this to your daughter or loliwife?What he did in oldschool rules would be worth a broken arm at best. You act like actual rape occurred.
>>286446291Shogakukan.........

>>286446897Would you volunteer your child
>>286446882He still acted on it, if he couldnt control his impulses while on a bike ride he is no different than a rapist, it would be a matter of time
>>286446879He did and he decided to use a pen name.

Soaplands are legal in Japan, why must these guys molest and rape children?
>>286446500Watsuki is still writing Kenshin to this day and the new anime has been really successful with a third season on the way. Toriko mangaka's has no career but that's more to do with him writing shit series in general.
Will you ever forgive the Tokyo Bicycle Bandit, /a/?
>>286446918It's just one guy defending real life molestation while shitting on 2d.

>>286446291Sounds like kino, based author. Give him more work.
>>286446924>The girl consentedWork on your literacy. If you cannot understand the comparison then stop replying. You're only humillating yourself.
I'm gonna go buy some copies to support the mangaka before they remove everything. He did nothing wrong.
>>286446952Would you volunteer yourself
>>286446774How is any of them worse? though even matsuki is still nothingburger compared to mangaone guy who's legit serial rapist
I'd be a lot more against him rejoining the industry if he had leveraged his status as a mangaka for what he did, but that's not what happens. As is, I'm a bit tepid. I feel like 'author' is a bit borderline in terms of being a public / influential figure, which are generally the types of positions someone who committed sexual assault should be barred from.
Jump is sweating right now. Gotta burn all those Oda's collection.
>>286446791It's a decently common fanfic premise.
>>286446978She definitely did consent incel, maybe check your privilege as a man before you tell a 15 year old woman what to do in her private life.
>you can only become a mangaka for Shogakukan if you ever diddled a child
>>286446984>what happenswhat happened
>>286446490Well you got your wish
Does liking JC's make you a better mangaka?
>>286446959No, he should've been caught after finishing Act-age. Now he must suffer.
>Oda (2021): Watsuki-sensei is an amazing person. The relationship between him and me is like comrades rather than just master and apprentice. I worked under him 4 months. Maybe it was the happiest moment in my entire life.
>>286447011Absolutely. Reminder that Togashi like little boys.
>>286446291 I feel like the main thing that's annoying about this is that it's not a consistent attitude. I think generally speaking "give people an opportunity to reform and then rejoin society" is a healthier attitude than endless punishment, and what modern justice systems are supposed to strive for. But Japanese society (and this industry in particular) seems to apply it differentially; sex offenders like this guy get easily forgiven, meanwhile get found with a couple joints once and you're a forever pariah. And that's a pretty ridiculous standard based on which crimes actually harm others the most. So there's a conflict between what would come off as (rightfully) merciful and what comes off as just underestimating the importance of sex crimes specifically.
>>286446291>On August 29, 2024, an editor at Manga One requested a meeting with the X account under the name of Matsuki Tatsuya.>On August 30th of the same year, he sent an email to the editor informing him that he was writing a novel called "The Psychological Counselor for the Hero's Party," which would become the basis for "The Psychologist of the Stars," on a novel submission site.>On September 6th of the same year, with the approval of the editor-in-chief at the time, we met for the first time in Tokyo (...)>I reported the contents of the meeting to the editor-in-chief at the time, and after receiving his approval, we began communicating with the goal of publishing the work on Manga OneIt sounds as though he wasn't even trying to get back into writing manga, he was just peacefully writing his WN and not bothering anybody until the Manga One editor chased him down.
>>286447011Yes, JC/JS is the most heterosexual male urge to have. The mangaka was just being a healthy male.
>>286446291>>286446529>casually letting convicted pedos work on your editorial using under a new penname to hide it from your readers
When are they catching Oda and his rapists friends?
>>286446932I know Watsuki basically saved jump post Dragon Ball, but is there a single other author they get on their knees for as much as they do for him?They don't do it for Araki, nor for Kurimada, nor for Inoue, nor for Takahashi. Not even for fucking Toriyama.

>>286446621He made her eat his shit and smear it on her face. The dude was a menace
Most men are pedophiles, Japan is just a country that's honest about it. Long live Nihon.
>>286446291Just giving it a brief read of Seisou no Shinrishi, definitely feels like Tatsuki was inspired by his rehab periodit's about a psychological counselor in a fantasy world rehabbing mentally struggling heroes, in ch.1 particular hero thinks he messed up and feels he isn't worthy anymore
>>286447034Oda and his buddies are starting to get a lot of heat in nip twitter and other social media over the Shogakukan files
>>286447025If you're attempting to be "fair" about hiring a sex offender who served his sentence, you should do so publicly and not secretly under a different name. Trying to avoid controversy like this is an admission that it isn't acceptable.
>>286447034Soon. He got exposed last week from a viral tweethttps://x.com/ldk111bt/status/2027368123733815525
MATSUKI, YOU MF READ KAGURABACHI AND LEARN HUMANITY
>>286447060That's based as fuck, did he pee in her mouth too?
>>286447025I'm all for forgiving anyone with criminal background but let's be frank. If you are a diddler you have no place in the entertainment industry. Stick to a job where you don't need to meet people on the daily basis. Get an office job and do that instead.
What's funny about Watsuki case was that the authority actually gave time for people to get rid of the illegal materials before the law was enforced but he somehow just kept it in his possession until he got busted.
>>286447075Why the homophobic tone in the post? Are nips homophobes?
>>286447062>Most men are pedophiles, Japan is just a country that's honest about it. Long live Nihon.I'm onto youYou just couldn't help yourself. You're camping this thread.
>>286447084He just loved biking too much and needed an outlet for his joy.

>>286447060She agreed to it over a 3 year consensual relationship and only regretted it in college*https://kokoro.squares.net/?p=10214
>>286447039What are you talking about?
>>286447025the shitrapist guy is like an animal torturer, he's obviously got something permanently wrong with him so get him out of society. I don't care if it's not fair or he did his timeact age guy could probably have been forgiven but now shogakukan looks like they're doing this serially and they were afraid it would come out on someone else's terms
>>286447100based groomerchad
>>286447069>>286447075>a tweet from a literal who>getting heat
>>286446291Here's hoping the dude will continue Act-age
>>286447028Did they not have literally anybody else in their rolodex they could have contacted get to write a manga for them instead? Why did they have to go out of their way to drag someone this reputationally toxic out of retirement
>>286447062You are this close to agreeing with Radical Feminists with "all men are rapists"
>>286447109>the shitrapist guy is like an animal torturernah. animal torturers grow up to be murderers instead.
>>286447123the artist is doing a manga with Iruma mangaka and it looks like it will be a 400+ chapter manga like Irumaits over
>>286446964>>286447039>Guy literally raped a teenager and the company swepr for him>HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT WATSUKIThis is truly Watsuki Derangement Syndrome
>>286447102>>286447117>>286447137holy mother of samefag
>>286446780
>>286447126act-age was a masterpiece is why
>>286447155It's two shitposters
>>286447155No we're just full of edgelords
>all these respectable, well-presented, soft spoken manga authors>they turn out to be hiding some terrible dark secret>meanwhile, the biggest, sweatiest, greasiest, out-and-out creepo ojisan in the industry has a spotless recordThis just proves you only need to be careful of the ones with something to hide
>>286447155it's one guy samefagging for the moment.wait until bikinifag shows up.
Shogakukan is literally the manga publisher version of Epstein
>>286447155Normalfags from the west hate that Japan is based enough to let pedo gods make most of the entertainment in JP
>>286446780This. Blud did literally nothing wrong, every single one of you fags would have done the same thing if you were also riding a bike in japan.
big names like oda don't care and are willing to protect people like this if they are friends, who knows how many situations like this are swept under the rug by the industry
>>286447025>. And that's a pretty ridiculous standard based on which crimes actually harm others the most.Blame the British. Opium War meant drug possession is treated as TREASON in Asia. Because it is not about what you do to your body; it is about weakening the country for invasion. Drug use in Asia is not considered a vice, but a threat to sovereignty. Once again thank the Brits for using their military to force the Chinese to reverse the Opium ban. The idea being that other nations are forcing drugs down the throats of Asian countries to weaken them at gun point.
>>286447089CP is no big deal in japan. If you used their p2p networks before posession was criminalized in 2012 you would know they shared it like any other amateur porn.
>>286447039Jump never swept for Watsuki
>>286447153And he stopped for a moment. lmao.
All editorials and publishing firms are a damn den of predators it's simply that Shogakukan just can't keep hiding it anymore.
>>286447069So probably not catching him, but with some luck it'll hit his sales
>>286446291The stuff the Act age writer did really wasn't anywhere near as bad as that other guy forcing a girl to eat his shit. He really shouldn't be barred from writing after he payed the price for his crime.
>>286447224Shogakukan was known for being corrupted before this happened
Give him to Hori, his big enough to shrug some controversy and Hori really need some good fucking writter
>>286447234If they were serious about rehabilitating him they should have been transparent about it instead of hiding him behind a pen name.
The craziest thing about all this is that everyone, editors and anons alike, now treats Act Age like the second coming of christ, like what the fuck happened. Also>move heaven and earth to rehire the most famous pedophile of your industry of the last couple of years>have him write some dogshit isekai slop about le healing powers of psychotherapy
>>286447240Jus dont ask for the reference material he used for the invisitits color page
>>286447155Matsuki wasn't a rapist though.
>>286447224Yeah this kind of corporatism runs wild in the entertainment industry in general.
>>286447144The artist can be replaced. The writer is important
>>286447084He was just enjoying riding his bike and pulled a little prank
>>286446612The public career should be over for life. There's lots of other work he could do, from working at a warehouse to some random office job. If he's a talented writer he can surely do some random B2B marketing materials.
>>286447254Act-Age was a generational manga. Anyone who read it while it was running can tell you this much. And it's a real shame that the writer is on the level of a chimpanzee when it comes to self-restriction.
Act-age? More like Act your age.
I wonder if the Act Age artist knew that he was writing again.
>>286447234The crime wasn't as bad but the victim of the act age guy was a random meanwhile the other girl choosed to hang out with him
Pure evil
>>286447254>>have him write some dogshit isekai slop about le healing powers of psychotherapyHe was clearly projecting
>>286447254>have himhe was writing it for himself as a WN at first as part of his self-reflection, it only got adapted into a manga when they went out of their way to contact him and found that he was conveniently already writing something
>>286446612>but is it 'terrible' to allow him to return to mangaYes
>>286447277Why should she? He doesn't need her permission to make manga
>>286447144Just search for another artis, fuck that traitor
So if anime/manga is filled with pedophiles doesn't that mean by consuming it and this board /a/ existing we are supporting pedophiles?
>>286447284He wrote a WN and Shogakukan's editor contacted him.
Lots of womyn in this thread
>>286447302Yes which is why rapeape should nuke /a/. It's a diddy board.
>>286446435
I never actually read act-age, is it worth reading knowing it was never finished?
>>286447302This board read Sasha, enough said.
>>286447315The seethe is pure kino though, jp is just too based for low IQ foids.
>>286446803He what? Don't make us wait fag
>>286447324It ended in one chapter, you actually can just ignore it and join the rest hoping it returns.
>>286447324Galactic Railroad Arc was a masterpiece.
>>286447302Anime has always been a pedophile medium, why do you think most normalfags think anything outside of shonen is for weird pedos?
>4chan thinks women are made for ra*e
Is the editor who sought him out the same one who rehired the other guy? The editor(s) involved in these decisions ought to be named too.
>>286447345They are very rapeable as this mangaka proved you can even smear poop on their faces and write your name all over them and they will still love you.
>>286447324It kinda exposed Usazaki since you will immediately noticed that the paneling and storyboarding were mostly done by Matsuki.
>>286447350I think it's pretty good, but it wasn't for me
>>286447354Epstein was a cool guy
>>286447350Stop projecting all I said was that Act-age is great and it's a fact based both on sales and its legacyMatsuki remains a retard despite Act-age's greatness
>>286447254You've never read either of his series. Fuck off.
>>286446291>Matsuki Tatsuya -->Yatsunami ItsukiHe used a damn anagram
>>286447354Epstein was a /u/ fag, straight gods and yaoi gods killed the Yuri trannies.
>>286447252That would've just resulted in a shitstorm online. People on social media don't accept rehabilitation. Ever.
>>286447120I'm a big >WHO enjoyer, but that's 4 million views.
I hope he's fine.
>>286447025>corporate culture where the whole organization covers up for criminals is based actually
suicide soon
>>286447403He's gonna just change pennames again and go back to writing
>>286447090it's a feminist account that hides their location with east asia & pacificwhen x first revealed locations most of these turned out to be korean
>>286447413>change penname againDoes he really need to? I feel like people should just blame Shogakukan.
>>286447410sounds like the US
>>286446291Well, at least this guy is not into scat
>>286446291 Shogakukan is releasing the MangaOne Files
>>286446291wait him too? lol
>>286447413he will have better chances becoming a politician
>>286447392Given how relatively minor the harm he caused was (at least compared to making a JK eat literal shit) I think they had a chance of selling it if they led with the whole "he completed his sentence and is deeply remorseful, he went to psychotherapy and it changed his life and now he wants to tell the story of how psychotherapy can change everyone's lives, the artist has read his story and wants to tell it too, please give him a chance" spiel to set the narrative properly. Better than having it come out after the fact like this at least.
>>286447410It is and you won't do shit westerner, you are ruled by pedos like Epstein and trump
Okay I've read act-age. It was good and I understand the thought process but his new work is fucking isekaislop. Fucking why risk it.
>>286447445It could have worked if they didn't hire him under a penname and kept it a secret from everyone else, including victims and ex-colleagues
I don't think anyone with a sexual offense background should be involved in the entertainment industry
>>286447458Ask Shogakukan, he just wrote it as a WN and they contacted him to turn it into manga.
>>286447445Westerners would just spam non-stop. Idk about nips but probably a few passive-aggresive comments as well.
>>286447413Are we sure the work is going to get cancelled? I think it's more likely they will just continue serialization after waiting out the storm.
>>286447467Anon...
>>286446291The second half of Matsuki's statement? I *really* hate it. I used a different pen name out of consideration for the victims' feelings... Are you seriously saying that?
>>286446612> is it 'terrible' to allow him to return to manga? No it isn't, he shouldn't be blacklisted from the manga industry. At this point this is just a witch hunt. Whatever punishment was appropriate ought to have been meted out by the courts. Adding such an amount of informal social punishment on top is entirely disproportionate. And from a societal perspective it's also just a waste to preclude a man from making the best use of his talents just because he made a mistake once. Why treat him like he's some serial rapist? Alas, Japan is inching ever closer to adopting Western feminist values wholesale. Someone is trying to make this nothingburger a Japanese Metoo moment, it seems like.
>>286447400>4 million views.Wow....its a fucking nothing because its on twitter
>>286446291gotta be honest the only thing I'd want from him is continuing act-age, but that's obviously not happening, so he can die in the public eye for all I care.
>>286446612The hilarious part is that he wasn't even looking to return to manga, he was writing a free isekai webnovel and they were the ones who pulled him back in
>>286446333Was she any popular before? If not then whatever she said just translates to "fuck it, I need the money" good thing infact
>>286447400>twitter views
Matsuki was literally doing what every moralfag wanted, he was toiling away in obscurity on a webnovel site that accepts any submissionNo one really even read his thingShogakukan was the one who dragged him back to the industry
>>286446612>but is it 'terrible' to allow him to return to manga?Nah. The industry is full of pedos. This one had the bad luck to get caught. Losing big money because of empty virtue signaling when Japan itself constantly endorses pedophilia is stupid.
>>286447497>he was writing a free isekai webnovelLink?
Kick the hell out of everyone involved this piece of shit.
>>286447075Mitsutoshi's case is so overblown. A 16 year old prostitute back in the early 2000s is already is already on the line of Japan itself's age of consent and he only got hit for it due to the prostitution itself. Not to mention it was confirmed she lied about her age.
>>286447400views on twitter aren't important since 90% are just people who scrolled for you tab without even reading the tweet
>>286447487>i don't think people should face consequences for sexually assaulting a middle scholer>a slap on the wrist and a written apology is enough anything more is a damn witch hunt
>>286447075go back to twitter
>>286446505>>286447382Bro thinks he's a Sherlock Holmes villain
>>28644753230k likes and 4 million views is fairly viral. I don't really get why cope about this. Oda isn't going to randomly go to jail and OP be axed, but there's attention there.
>>286447519It's been deleted but it used to be at https://syosetu.org/?mode=kappo_view&kid=329477&uid=457183
>>286447554criminals want to get caught
>>286447533He has faced the consequences. That you consider them just a "slap on the wrist" and want to dish out maximum punishment for even the smallest offenses is immaterial.
>>286446774Brit moment
>>286447565Sorry, I mean https://syosetu.org/novel/345074
>>286447400>4 million viewsbut less than 30k likes, the silent majority supports rape and underage prostitution
>>286447554>>286446505holy fucking shit that's hilarious
>>286447515Really fucking funny
>>286447585>.orgI thought Hameln was just for fanfic.
>act age guy got pardoned before the gal cleaning guyThis is considered fair............ why?
>>286447573>He has faced the consequences>went to a couple of therapy sessions and gets rehired less than 5 years later by the 2nd biggest editorial in nipland, with the illustrator and editorial team fully aware of it but hiding it's name so they wouldn't suffer backlashNot really
>>286447595gal cleaning was garbagethat might help
>>286447573I think we should rape you
>>286446505he really isn't the brightest, is he?
>>286447595What?Gal cleaning did what?
>>286447454At least I would like to know if I'm reading something done by a pedo
>>286447595What did the Gal Cleaning guy do? His only crime was loopholing chapter numbers to try and indefinitely delay his axe
>>286447594nah there's original fiction there too
>>286447473It would've still been better than it being kept secretly and coming out due to a related incident. This is literally the worst-case scenario and it reflects badly on Matsuki himself as a coward who tried to hide from scrutiny. Now he'll keep being treated as a pedo whether he actually changed his ways or not, and Shogakukan as a den of pedos for going out of their way to seek him out and protect him (and rightfully so in their case).
>>286447344Most pedos are shonenshit authors
>>286447597Gal Cleaning guy threw a tantrumImagine if Act-age ended with Kei committing suicide in front of her siblings and we could see her corpse hanging from a rope
>>286447597>Not reallyNot up to you. Just as an Iranian can't demand American women to cover themselves. Their country, their laws. He is a felon but that is not a reason to ban him from honest work. it's not like he actually work with young girls in his day job.
Interestingly I’m seeing some Japanese comments bringing up Watsuki and the Toriko author. I’d always felt their situations were rarely brought up by them.
>>286447597Seems appropriate to me. It's not like he raped anyone.
Was that old scanlation site called OneManga or MangaOne?
>>286447344>the convicted pedophiles are largely from shonenkek
>>286447277He was working at Shogakukan instead of Shueisha and they said only a few editors knew so I doubt she came across the information. I'd like to think she wouldn't have kept quiet if she did.
>>286447633>Just as an Iranian can't demand American women to cover themselvesErm what does your schizo ramblings have anything to do with the current topic
>>286447609>At least I would like to know if I'm reading something done by a pedoAnd? You think you would catch germs or something?
>>286446291>Act-Age gets brought up again just as CSM and JJK fumble hardFunny. Sad to see the alliance end like this.
>>286446291Someone clear this up for me. Shogakukan was in the news recently for hiring a mangaka who was convicted of some kind of sex crime right? Is this is the same one or is this a reveal that Matsuki is a second person in the same situation?
>>286447609So almost all manga.
>>286447633If they were forced to hide it and only revealed the truth because there was a public commission coming, it's because they knew it was wrong to hire a SA criminal as simple as that.
>>286446291lol, I kept seeing articles about this but I had no idea it was the Act-Age guy.
>>286447667Second case
>>286447486>In their early discussions, Matsuki expressed his desire to keep on writing but not wanting to evoke memories of the incident to the victims, leading to the decision of using a pen name.kek
>>286447651>Erm what does your schizo ramblings have anything to do with the current topicJapanese Laws say he was punished. Americans who say that is not enough is not going to change that he is a free man.
>>286447667Different. So double the hilarity
>>286446362>This guy barely did anythingBro, he did 'the thing' more than once and like in public to real youths. At least the other ones were doing their shit on the downlow
>>286447654>just cooooonsume, don't question
>>286446291>a second nonce has struck the mangaone building
>>286447672>If they were forced to hide it and only revealed the truth because there was a public commission coming, it's because they knew it was wrong to hire a SA criminal as simple as that.Wrong? In what way? What laws did they break? You want him dead? Kill him yourself.
>>286447674>>286447678Holy shit then, what the fuck are they thinking? I don't know about the first one but the second one was fired from Shueisha. Like, how did they think this was going to work long term
>>286447667its another caseShogakukan is a den of sex offenders
>>286447687>>just cooooonsume, don't questionI consume content if they are good. Former felons in production doesn't change the quality of the product.
>>286447673This is new news actually
>>286447692>k-kysConcession accepted
>he was minding his own business and the editors came to himThey actually seriously fucked over bikeman lmao he would've been fine if he self published his isekaislop webnovel as planned assuming it was good.
>>286447607He was arrested for being too based
>>286447673If you’ve been seeing articles over the past week or so, then it’s a different guy. This news only just came out
>>286447641Touching a woman without her enthusiastic consent is rape.
>>286447692He's not the one hiding him under a different pen name, bro. I genuinely don't care about that shit all that much, but it is a fact they were trying to be clever about it, and are receiving deserved backlash now.
>>286446462This makes the story go from amusing to stupid (still amusing but stupid)
>>286447697He's a genuinely good writer so the money he could bring in probably blinded them
>>286447697i think they just wanted to give him a second chance
>>286447644OneManga
>>286447719>>286447711
>>286446291Just let him work. Who gives a shit?
>>286447680Wakatsuki had naked pictures of real youths and shimabukuro raped a real youth
>>286447647Shonenfags are hypocrites especially the Dragon Ball spics since Toriyama was horny as fuck and brown countries have problems with teen pregnancies.
>>286446514I love how this guy continues to be one of the most wholesome and bog-standard mangaka when people so badly want him to be something else
>>286447673different guy retard
>>286447562It's probably botted as well. Low follower count despite many viral tweets, twitter feminist, follows other feminist accounts that pretended to be Japanese like https://x.com/Womeninjapan12, hidden location.
>>286447573>>286447633>>286447692In court he confessed that this was not his first offense and that he had habitually committed similar acts of sexual assault.
>>286446291Bummer he couldn't just get back on act-age, not like morals matter more than money for any of these guys plus pr damage wouldn't have been much if he tries to behave like a changed man.
>>286447719Sounds like rape is less serious than littering then and we shouldn't throw anyone in jail over it.
I feel that a book publisher where sex offenders can work with peace of mind is needed.
>>286446514He releases all his pent-up lust on his manga, guy actually has one of the cleanest soul out there when he's going on in his day.
>>286447748It's known, there were already signs warning about a serial molester in his neighborhood when he got caught.
>>286446514The greatest to do it
>>286447515>Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
>>286447758Shogakukan is a private company and not a publicly traded company
>>286447672>If they were forced to hide itThey weren't forced to hide it, they just did it because they thought that way they could maximize their profits because then nobody would be calling for a boycott of the new work. Incidentally that's the only wrong thing they did. Rehiring Matsuki wasn't wrong, but if retards want to boycott a rehabilitated man they still should be free to do so.
I kinda forgot the whole Act-Age thing was in 2020. Like any prison or sentence he had would have been long done by now
>>286446612If they were confident in his ability to return, they wouldn't have him under a pen name.>but if a whole different company hired himShueisha is under Shogakukan
>>286446291Act-Age jumpscare
>>286447802>the whole Act-Age thing was in 2020God I thought it was 2023 at best...
and then for no reason at all Seisou no Shinrishi got thousands of new readers
Sticky, mods?
>>286447823Probably getting cancelled soon though
>>286447515And under different name too
>>286447838I sincerely doubt it.
>>286446703But god have mercy on your soul if you're caught with drugs
>>286447838Nah artist is still on board unlike the act age one who decided to can the work instead of continue it with a new writer
Shogakukan is offering the admission on Matsuki unprompted? The audacity of them to be like btw we had a second guy doing the same thing, just clearing the air
>>286446291I will never forgive him for how he burned Act-Age. Completely ruined a career over a JK’s ass. When he saw it on the bike, was it really that good looking of an ass?
In come retards who still act like Act-age was anything good aside from the art. Cringe-ass slop that only stood out because it had a rare female MC in SJumpI heard shit got even worse near the time it got axed with some Baki's acting power.
>>286446491ez skip
>>286447838They suspended it already for the time being
>>286447858maybe they were worried it would leak if they didn't themselves
>>286447852Why the fuck do you keep bringing up drugs? If you love drugs so much, go rent a boat and sail to Venezuela while dodging US missiles.
>>286447748And? Coming clean and cooperating with the courts and the investigation is generally treated as a mitigating factor, because you want to create incentives for people to come clean. If you punish people extra hard for confessing more than they have to, it just creates incentives for lying and hampering the investigation.
>>286447858They're being investigated so they chose the less damaging option.
>>286447758I'd support that, the grislier the crime the better
>>286447766if you really think abot it matsuk is the victim in this situation
>>286447864>JK’s ass*JC's
>>286447890Yep yep
>>286447190Like, around late 2000's i literally googling for big boobed japanese milf, got directed to some jp imageboard and there's often some pizza if i scroll down a little even if the thread is about milf
>>286447894>JC assAh, nevermind, I totally get it now. Shit I would too
>>286447854What makes you think it was her decision? A new writer with no continuity might as well be another series. If Act-Age is as good as people claim then the drop in quality will be unamaskable.
>>286447838Probably gonna be back after a short suspension.
>>286447921It wasn't 2D, anon.
>>286447515The so called moralfags want him to be forced to work as a toilet cleaner forever while having his name and crime tattooed on his forehead. That he was writing at all is an outrage to them.
>>286447865>I heard So you don't even have an opinion of your own?
>>286446505 Reminds me his magazine comment about needing a bikeHoly shit, Matsuki is the Riddler
Rehiring this dude for a mid 2deep isekai no less is so fucking stupid.
>>286447950It's obvious he's basing his entire opinion on it on the fact that the MC was a girl.
>>286446505I wonder if anyone ever picked up on his writing quirks in the new series before this.
>>286446362It'll be crazy when the Oda stuff finally comes out. Probably not until he's dead.
>>286447962>Leaves hints of his crimes in his comments>Uses anagram of his old pen nameHe really is the Riddler
What's with Watsuki being treated the worst when his offense is just because he failed to dispose of his once "legal" material? It's smalltime compared to the Act-Age writer and the current controversy Is it because his series is far more well known and popular?
>>286447858The gossip magazine Bunshun was doing a report on this, so Shogakukan got ahead of the news to mitigate the damage
>>286447991It's unlikely anything ever will if it even exists. I'd imagine at most he's seen some of Watsuki's collection since it'd he hard not to.
Is Oda is the epstein of the mangaka world?
>>286447991>Release the Oda files
>>286447925>If Act-Age is as good as people claimI swear this fucking sentiment only appeared after it got axed. I felt the strangest emotion the day that fag got arrested. On the one hand, I thought, "Fuck him and his shitty writing," but on the other hand, I somewhat wished he could finish the work since it was shaping up to be the second coming of Promised Neverland's train wreck, without ever reaching any of its heights.
>>286447962>>286447997More like The Diddler.
>>286446518Shimabukuro was actually convicted of paying three different 16 year old girls to perform lewd acts on a total of five different occasionsHe claimed ignorance? Come on
>>286448031The modern pedo scare is just feminist drivel anyways.
>>286448072t. never engaged with Act-age threads
>>286448093Nigger we just had a expose of some fuck harboring young women on his island. If anything this "pedo scare" is true
LET HIM FINISH ACT AGEACT ANIME AND HE WRITES THE MISSING LAST PART
>>286446462shog out there scouting the pedo avengers
I need Oda to get caught right before he reveals what the One Piece is.
>>286448031Are you new?
>>286446514The guy is proof that if you give deviants non destructive outlets they can contain their desires better
>>286447985I picked up on something that made me laugh for days>the two MCs randomly mentions they're straight in the first chapter out of nowhereIt's clear as day he's been SEETHING for all those years about people shipping Yonagi and Chiyoko, so now he corrected this on his new work right off the bat. It's also pretty obvious he feels wronged and didn't really repent or anything.
>>286447950>>286447977Why would I continue reading something that's obviously suck after pushing through the first 20-30 chapters hoping it would improve?FMC it's the reason it caught my attention in the first place, dry ass character, the author tried so hard to make her do them aura-farm moment, but it just fell flat.
>>286446291I hope i see the>cancelledSoon
>>286448123This would be the perfect opportunity for the Act-age illustrator to show her growth as a person, reach out to Matsuki, forgive him, and resume the work with him.
>>286446514How does he keep getting away with it?
>>286448152The artist wants to continue working on it so it's unlikely. Act-Age only got axed because Usazaki gave up on the manga altogether. They will most likely remove Matsuki's name from the manga but keep him as 'advisor' or some other informal role that doesn't need to be credited.
It always makes me laugh that people want Oda to be this omega level pedophile with five hundred terabytes of CP. Even if he was you bet your ass if it's true the country would sooner kill all other mangaka than allow it to be known.
>>286448110Bit off topic but 17 year olds is hardly pedophilia territory. You should know this especially as you’re on /a/. The media is drumming up the panic for the soccer moms
>>286448146Why did he make Yonagi and Chiyoko so gay if he didn't want them to be the most popular ship?
>>286448204The word pedo has been changed to mean anyone attracted to someone below 18 in recent years. If that weren't the case, the only real pedo in the anime/manga industry would be Watsuki.
>>286448031Yes. Now bugger off back to tumblr or wherever you came from.
>>286446291LMAO
>>286448235the director character was his self-insertthat's why the last arc before cancellation was talking about yonagi falling in love with him
>>286448236>The word pedo has been changed to mean anyone attracted to someone younger and hotter than the fault finder.FTFY.
please summarize the whole topic.
>>286448278>the last arc before cancellation was talking about yonagi falling in love with himIt wasn't.
>>286448278>the director character was his self-insert>Yonagi calls him a pedo for kidnapping her off the street right at the startYeah, no shit.
>>286448278based if true
>>286448296 So last week, we had the drama of Manga One, a manga publishing arm of Shogakukan, revealing that after one of their mangaka was arrested for sexually assaulting a minor, they secretly got them working on a new series under a pen name. This caused virtually every major mangaka whose works are published on Manga One to immediately pull their titles, and for the artist who was working on this series to apologize (she had no idea she was working with a rapist). At least things can’t get any worse, right?One of Manga One’s other series on their storefront was Seisou no Shinrishi, an isekai manga about a psychological counselor who is spirited away to a fantasy world to help provide therapy to its inhabitants who are experiencing a war. It’s written by Itsuki Yatsunami and drawn by Kaoru Yukihira, but just an hour ago Shogakukan revealed that Itsuki Yatsunami was also another author with a pen name. Their real identity was Tatsuya Matsuki, the author of Weekly Shonen Jump series act-age whose series was cancelled after they were arrested for inappropriately touching middle school students. Except this was different because the artist was told about the author beforehand, but still wanted to draw the series.
>>286447090>Are nips homophobes?Man you must have thought every Japanese person was like Mishima and samurai didlers and that people didn't make fun of fags
>>286447420Jesus, aren't Korean women busy enough with destroying their own country?
>>286447090Are you newfag or something?
>>286446291This nigga likes his mc to be female huh. I bet his new one is still bland and boring like the old one. I hope there are more series with female main characters in Jump.
>>286448435Based Toriyama
>>286446291LET'S FUCKING GOIVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO COME BACK
>>286446353*Rare based woman moment
>>286446291>shogakukan>primary school is literally in its name>welcomes not one, but two sex offenders who targeted minors
>>286446512What do you define as a breakout hit? We have kagurabachi, ichi, hertz etc right now
Will Usazaki make a statement or stop working?She's working for the sister company under the same conglomerate
>>286446505I know nip and I don't get thisExplain
>>286447030Cry
The art is dogshit and amateurish bro. They could've at least hired some pedolover that's more talented.
sounds like literal whos.
>made a mistake >be damned foreverApparently there's no such thing as redemption in today's society. Everyone else is a saint, I guess.
>>286446612It's virtue signalling and brainwashing.Notice how people in the western world and those asians infleunced by them will go outrage chimp mode for this and yet be like "oh this murderer is of a (minority group) this we should let them out of jail 20 times"
>>286447487Correct>>286447573Correct
>>286446291he can't keep getting away with it
>>286446651Why not cry about Junko furuta's torturers still living a free life. Or the Japanese who cannabalized that french lady. Instead we all have to virtue signal over this guy writing a story lmao
>>286448613Hey if it's good then it's good despite the art.Apparently it's not.
>>286446333nothing wrong with this, people need to separate the work and the author
>>286446308>top-tier artists
>>286447487He was punished by the courts.barring him from working in an industry where he is not directly meeting minors should be tantamount to discrimination and in serious cases vigilantism.He's paid for his crime and to act like he still has debt is pants-on-head retarded.I don't care if he was a murderer, rapist, or cannibal. If he's reformed, let him pay his debt to society quietly instead of constantly dragging him back into the limelight for yet another flogging. This is how you end up with book stores and libraries filled with biographies of criminals sold to bored housewives, and why women are obsessed with serial killers.
>>286446714>>286446491Ichi the Witch has a moderately promising beginning. Even then it was obvious that it is had boring gaylord safe-edgy hero and his safe-harem-but-not-really of bitches who exist in the plot only to slobber over his cock, and then, unfortunately, only metaphorically. Then the supposed big bad was revealed, and he sucked shit.Then the first major arc past the introductory prologue hit and it was paint-by-numbers slop. Did not read further.
>>286447748The courts take that into consideration when they dish out punishments. The courts don't exist to satisfy your sadistic lust for public executions.

>>286446939>groping>child predatorSo there's no difference between grabbing a JCs butt and violently fucking them?This insane re-framing language has got to stop.

>>286448804I'm no prude you can jerk off to whatever you want in your home, I don't careJust don't get a job where you can get into child diddling range and entertainment industry is exactly thatThere are thousands of other jobs you can pick if you lack self-restriction
>>286447252Elaborate using logic and not emotion
>>286447458What did you like about it? As a fellow fan I like hearing good things about it. Just one bullet point will do
>>286447467Elaborate
>>286447486>>286447675How is that wrong.
>>286447597Go change Japan's law then
>>286448832If you're confident that the criminal did his time and is a changed person, make your readers aware of the fact. Hiding it doesn't benefit anyone and only makes Shogakukan and Matsuki look slimy for trying to avoid consequences.
>>286448924Petty excuse to avoid public shaming and backlashBasically "think of the children" mentality whenever your gov pushes something retarded that will fuck you over
>>286447651Low IQ

>>286447758>>286447886>can't argue except through irony poisoning>>286447883>>286448726Exactly.
>>286447854Kek true this reveals that usazaki had no loyalty/gratefulness in comparison
>>286447890>>286447907Reddit ironyposting is all you have.No coherent thought
>>286448147>that's obviously suckYou can't even write I doubt you can read
>>286448914The first movie arc was shit and corny but the two stageplay arcs make it clear it's written by a guy who cares about the medium he's writing about. The character drama and the stageplays interweave seamlessly and I think part of that is because the stageplays are based on real world plays. The second play is made up but it's based on journey to the west. Everyone in asia knows who the monkey king and princess iron fan are.
>>286448072It's way better than TPN you tasteless tard
>>286448157You're being ironic but I agree
>>286448439One of the worst posts in the thread
>>286448795That doesn't seem like much
>>286449063>The first movie arc was shit and cornyIt's funny that you say this because the guy is more passionate about filmmaking than stageplaysThe first joint work he did with Usazaki was about movie directing as well
>>286448699Pretty based. Thoughts on modern WSJ?
>>286446538I wouldn't call her a loli. She doesn’t have the youthful face that lolis have.
>>286449094The endgame of the manga would've been a movie so maybe it would've been good but the island shit is just filled with powerlevel talk. It was also the first major arc so maybe he was testing the waters in jump.
Is this why? Is the reason I can't move on from Act-Age because the dude who wrote it obviously cares about the story, but was stopped?
>>286448864>Just don't get a job where you can get into child diddling range and entertainment industry is exactly thatWhere is the logic. The elaboration.
>>286448955You didn't argue anything logically, just restated your feelings.>>286448957Prove it.
>>286449129Did you never work in the entertainment industry? At all? What's to explain there?
>>286449063Yeah. The stage stuff was 100x better than akanebanashi
>>286449163You didn't elaborate your argument, or show the logical steps as to why a neutral third party should be swayed to your opinion. You basically said "apple therefore orange" and expect us to believe you. And you're using a catch-all term "entertainment industry" to represent a writer stuck in his room all day. Be more specific.
>samefagging
>>286449192>a writer stuck in his room all dayIf that was true he wouldn't go biking around middle schools.
>>286447518Except Japan doesn't endorse pedophilia. Every prefecture's age of consent is between 16-18, and the national age was raised to 16. Yet people still give Japan for that because they're an Asian country. Meanwhile, nobody says anything about Germany's age of consent still being 14 because they're the "civilized" and "enlightened" westerners, while Japan is looked down upon by them as a backwards civilization that needs to be corrected by them (hey, I've seen this before).
>>286447224How much do you wanna bet that Shokugan and it's staff, writers, and artists are in the Epstein files? It's an international human trafficking ring, yet we've barely seen any of the details of the overseas operations yet.
Funny how all these criminals manga artists don't draw "problematic" shit like lolicon.
>>286449226Irrelevant to my point. Try to argue head-on, coward
>>286448818>So there's no difference between grabbing a JCs butt and violently fucking them?A murderer, a tax evader and a guy going to the prostitutes are all criminals. Yet no one thinks that they are as severe as each other nor are they complaining about them being put in the same category.
>>286449253Epstein could barely communicate in written English what makes you think he would invite introverted JOP monkeys over to his island?
>>286448613he's not the artist, retard
>be jp mangaka>rape jc>westerners meltdown>manga keeps being made>sell more copies nowI kneel ojisan, may you get your jc wife and enjoy a moe life.
>>286449283Japan is a pedophile nation so makes sense
>>286447127Even worse. He probably thinks that's a good thing.
>>286449261>creates a strawman to deflect the argument>gers caught>somehow the strawman is irrelevant nowI'm not arguing with dishonest individuals. Take your keyboard fights elsewhere. Good day.
>>286447075Doesn't mean much when twitter views and overall engagement is filled with bots and the user making that tweet is a feminist who's just preaching to her like-minded twitter circle.Seriously I see bots all the time now. Fuck Elon.
Do people have bots tracking whenever this guy's name or manga get mentioned? They only ever come out of the woodwork to post like this when they're claiming that it's everyone's fault but his own that he committed a crime and faced consequences for it.
>>286449066Shit is bland af, not great but not too bad it's good, TPN at least got a great arc or 2 and a train wreck to be remembered.
>>286449283Bros how do the nips do it, I want a jc wife
>>286449372The smart ones don't get caught like Oda
>>286449372Buy one.
People hyperfocus on Oda when basically every famous WSJ mangaka respect Watsuki.
Want actual good manga about acting and shit? read Kasane Or Oshi no Ko (just skip the later part)
>>286447945>The so called moralfags want him to be forced to work as a toilet cleaner forever while having his name and crime tattooed on his forehead.That's nice compared to what child predators actually deserve.
>>286449403>Oshi no Ko>manga about actingWhat?
>>286449412She was 17 years 11 months and 20 days old you sick fuck
>>286449333Go run away you dumbassI'll explain why your post is retarded btwAnyone, entertainment industry or not, can go on a bike and molest someoneYour bike example has nothing to do with your entertainment industry argumentPlease read a book
>>286449413Well parts of it... I was really impressed
>>286449437(You)
>>286448190>It always makes me laugh that people want Oda to be this omega level pedophile with five hundred terabytes of CP.It's people who treat manga like sports. The ones that bitch like "your mangaka draws more icky fanservice than mine!" that you see on twitter.
>>286449358Nah you didn't read past the start and/or have no literary skills>>286449441>Impressed by akaslopfirst manga?
>>286449412Good thing they get virtually no punishment in Japan and sadistic normalfags like you have no power.
>>286449388Hideaki Sorachi has defensive messages about Watsuki tooSorachi called out the public for still bringing up the matter and "not moving on"Which makes sense since Gintama is sort of a Spaceballs spoof of Kenshin, Gintoki=Kenshin Shinpachi=Yahiko
>>286449450at the end of the day, that's all your posts in this thread are: pointing your finger with no additional substance
Why so many pedos in Japan?
>>286449458There is a shinpachi/yahiko type in a billion manga. They're not even the same archetype. "This reminds me of the only other manga I read" basicallyGintama is a samurai manga, rurouni is not the only or original samurai mangaAlso post the defensive messages in japanese I'm curious if he actually called them out it doesn't seem like something he'd do so aggressively
>>286449477Look up at the guys owning your asshole.
>>286449466
>>286449477America and Europe are literally owned and controlled by satanic pedophiles that eat babies, Japan is normal in comparison.
>>286449453>Nah you didn't read past the startNoo you didn't suffer and read through the first 50 chapters because the author didn't know how to write and convey what he knew.
>>286449477JP is honest about liking JS/JC/JK which is very healthy. The west are pedophiles as well but they try to hide it in islands.
>>286446291Does the elf loli get lewded or not
>>286449524Retard
>>286449524Retarded.>>286449502Bro just go away if you don't want to discuss lmao
>>286448134That's diabolical, but based.
>>286449544>Retarded.Projecting
>>286449564Hey go say that to the first guy who called you a retard not me
>>286449532Projecting
>>286449607Thanks my nigga
>>286449634Any day
>>286446612>these replies I never realized how many "women" /a/ had now
>>286449650
>>286449279Because Oda in particular has had very close ties with the multiple mangaka out as child predators. Shimabukuro AND Watsuki. He even called Watsuki "an amazing person," after his conviction. It's obvious that he's still very close with a man who collected so much cp, that the police thought he was a distributor. Makes you wonder if Watsuki was distributing it around the company because the fact that basically every major Jump author congratulated Watsuki on Kenshin's anniversary is proof that almost nobody in that company is bothered by having a child predator remain in the industry as one of its most powerful figures.
>>286449716The entire industry is filled with pedos if you got rid of all the pedos the industry would collapse overnight. Also JP doesn't really care about cp possession.
>>286447400I couldn't even name you the top 5 most like tweet in the entire planet
Is this why Rumiko Takahasi pulled all her manga off Manga One? I was reading news about that but didn't understand what was going on.
>>286446780Yeah, imagine if they forbid Caravaggio from ever painting again because he killed a guy once. It would've been tragic for the world of art.
nigga
>>286446291>Ex-Act-age writer (convicted of indecent assault) was rehired as “Yatsunami Itsuki”Kek, fucking knew this was going to happen
>>286448662This guy can't do what he's saying when he sees something woke, btw.
>>286450279Woke people infect their work so the need for separating the author has yet to come up because the work speaks for itself.
>>286446747He got his sentence. It's a done deal.
>>286449998No, that was some other guy, and in the process of investigating stuff, they discovered this.>>286449716>>286449765It is heinous that he had the porn in the first place, but calling him a predator is retarded.
>>286450385>in the process of investigating stuff, they discovered thisShogakukan put out the information on their own.
>>286447085>Stick to a job where you don't need to meet people on the daily basisSo an author
>>286447025>get found with a couple joints once and you're a forever pariah. And that's a pretty ridiculous standard based on which crimes actually harm others the mostMaybe you see it that way, but to Asia, using drugs is destructive to the entire society
>>286447025>And that's a pretty ridiculous standard based on which crimes actually harm others the most.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAwhy are druggies so retarded
>>286446612The worst thing about this is them trying to hide it.Just come out and say he is working again and let people decide for themselves if they want to support someone with his past.I have no problem with him returning, in fact i'm going to read and probably enjoy is new manga soon.
>>286450570It isn't. They allow alcohol just fine. It's just being fussy for the sake of fussy.
>>286450621Alcohol didn't destroy China
>>286450638And weed did?
>>286447271Why? Who are you to decide that if other people are willing to buy his new manga?
>>286450651They see it in the same category
>>286450684So that's a no.
>>286450698You realize culturally, alcohol isn't considered a drug the same way?
>>286450720Fussy for the sake of fussy. Not based on any logic.
>>286450651>you have to let something destroy your country before you do something about itstupid... or stupid?
>>286450755You see it as fussy. They see it as something that destroys society. And you might as well be saying>but caffeine is a drug too
>>286450759Hurr durr what's reading comprehension. You're dumber than the chinese.
>>286450773No. They are just wrong and picking arbitrary fights. They can't back their decision up with logic because they don't have any.
>>286450816>weed>logic
>>286450792drugs are bad mmkayis it so bad they dont want their nation to be full of pothead stoners
>>286449483It's not just about them being samurai manga but also about how the MC lives after fighting in the war
>>286447522I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the first time since girls do lie about their age. But then he got arrested again for soliciting sex from two high school girls, and at that point, it's establishing a suspicious pattern.
>Drug addicts having a melty that JP considers you more subhuman than pedophilesBased Japan, drug addicts are scum
>>286446780No you don't. He's a known poison to the industry now.
>>286451169Yeah, the pattern of a man who is attracted to girls at the peak of their fertility. How perverse and scandalous.
