On the night of June 18, around 8 p.m., a first-level student was walking down a street in Tokyo’s Nakano district as a bicycle approached her from behind. The guy on the motorcycle approached his side, touched her inappropriately and left.
The woman reported the incident to police and, after examining security camera footage in the area, investigators said they had met the attacker as Tsutaya Matsumoto, a 29-year-old Nakano resident. This call may not mean much to most people, but anime/manga enthusiasts will be more familiar with Tatsuya Matsuki, the written call under which Matsumoto writes “Act-Age”, a popular manga series serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, Japan’s largest manga anthology. .
On August 8, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officials arrested Matsumoto. “There is no mistake, ” said the manga writer about the accusations. Matsumoto researchers were also the groping culprit of a circular moment that occurred about an hour after the first incident on June 18, in which another high school student was the victim (in the Japanese school system, high school is equivalent to the age of 12 to 15).
Following Matsumoto’s arrest, Weekly Shonen Jump posted a on his online page and official Twitter account.
“We have gained reports related to the recent incident involving Tatsuya Matsuki, the original author of Act-Age, which is recently being published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Our editorial control takes these accusations very seriously. Once we have shown the main points of the situation, appropriate measures will be taken.
We are deeply because of the misery this has caused to all our readers and parts similar to the incident. »
Although no anime adaptation of “Act-Age” has yet been announced, a live play is being prepared, with the official Twitter account of the production enthusiastically pronouncing the opening of the audition programs on July 10.
However, on the day of Matsumoto’s arrest, Horipro, the company production of the work, announced that his prestige was lately in the soft limbo of the fees opposed to the author of the series.
“In reaction to the reports related to the original creator, lately we are confirming the main points of the situation. At a later date we will make an announcement regarding the long term of the work and the prestige of the hearing process. Thank you for your understanding.”
Unlike the maximum manga, in which only one user is guilty of the story and the main paintings, “Act-Age” is the product of divided paintings, Matsumoto writes the story and Shiro Usazaki, 20 years old (who has not commented publicly since Matsumoto’s arrest) as an artist. However, Matsumoto is indexed for peopleaku credits /original paintings for “Act-Age”, and the original author sometimes retains more about his paintings in the manga industry than the e-book publishing companies of comedians from other countries, it is unlikely that Weekly The publisher of Shonen Jump, Shueisha, will continue “Act-Age” without Matsumoto’s involvement.

Absolute Scumbag. Discard this insignificant child abuser for 20 years. Pulp all his publications.

I think it deserves the right name that implies that the artist is the predator more than the writer. The artist is absolutely innocent, and handles it in the last paragraph, it may still lead to many misunderstandings.
By canceling the manga, they also punish all the other innocent people who have worked and worked there. The stupidity of humans never ceases to be a source of wonder. The criminal justice formula will take care of him. That’s why he’s there. Relax. Cancelling culture is a bad one. Let him go.
