Shueisha Inc., one of the largest manga publishers in Japan, claims to have incurred serious losses due to the actions of a single woman who placed thousands of orders on the company’s online store and either rejected them when they arrived or let them be canceled automatically by failing to complete the payment. The culprit reportedly ordered merchandise worth about 4.3 billion yen ($27 million) without paying a single cent.Mayu Yoshida, a 32-year-old restaurant worker from Osaka, was recently arrested for disrupting the commercial activities of Shueisha Inc. by using no less than 238 different accounts to place thousands of online orders knowing full well that she would never complete them. Between 2024 and 2025, Yoshida reportedly placed over 2,000 orders for merchandise worth about 4.3 billion yen ($27.2 million).Japanese investigators discovered that Mayu Yoshida took advantage of Japan’s convenience store prepayment system, which allows people who don’t have or don’t want to pay with a credit card to place an order but pay for it at a convenience store, with the seller shipping the item once payment has been confirmed. After a certain time passed without the buyer picking up the product, the order was canceled automatically, but the company still incurred logistical losses.https://www.odditycentral.com/news/woman-arrested-for-placing-over-2000-fake-orders-on-online-manga-store-in-less-than-a-year.html
Alternatively, Yoshida also selected cash-on-delivery when ordering products from the Shueisha online store, only to reject them when they arrived. All in all, the company estimates that the woman’s antics caused a net loss of around 7.5 million yen ($47,000) in fees, not to mention other potential sales when the products she ordered were listed as “out of stock”.Mayu Yoshida was arrested on Tuesday, following a year-long investigation. Confronted with the evidence, she admitted to placing over 2,000 orders from 238 different accounts, but insisted that it was just a way to cope with the stress in her life.“I do not have any resentment towards Shueisha,” the 32-year-old woman said. “I have been feeling stressed from daily life, and I felt a sense of satisfaction and refreshment from ordering items before they sold out.”Perhaps she sould try one of those fake online shopping platforms to deal with her shopping addiction.
I can fix her
>>540574274>Crazy lady was probably trying to save her favorite failing seriesHoly shit, something tells me you can probably track down which series she was responsible for artificially prolonging. That's some hyper dedicated consumerist autism.
>"I have been feeling stressed from daily life, and I felt a sense of satisfaction and refreshment from ordering items before they sold out.”I understand, I do the same thing. I don't even read manga.

>>540574274What is the crime exactly?
>>540578250Per se she didn't commit any crime. However, she abused a system on a larger scale with no intention of ever paying for anything. There is a difference.I could have saved her btw.
>>540574274She just needed BWC.
>>540575083>>540578359What is with this fucking meme niggers all you guys are gonna do is disgust her fix save my ass fucking incels
>>540574274>let them be canceled automatically by failing to complete the paymentSo why hold the item?They should've waited til' payment before holding them.This can't be real.They can't be that stupid!
>>540577635>the woman’s antics caused a net loss of around 7.5 million yen ($47,000)Basically $0. Easily written off as COB.
>>540574274>using no less than 238 different accounts to place thousands of online orders knowing full well that she would never complete them. Between 2024 and 2025, Yoshida reportedly placed over 2,000 orders.If that's every single day of both years, it's still at a rate of three orders a day. What an absolute lunatic. How did she manage to hold a job? She definitely doesn't have a husband.
>>540578552>all you guys are gonna do is disgust herWell, that's why she wasn't saved by me. But she could have been.
>>540578359>she didn't commit any crimeShe dishonored her whole family with her actions.In ancient times they all would be required to each solve a sudoku.
>>540578552She could be saved if only she would let us.
Trolling IRL is harder than online, salute your autistic commitment ma'am.
