Yatsunami 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.

>>286446333
women 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

>>286446291
Shogakukan 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.

>>286446291
I 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

>>286446435
it's the same guy

Is this fucking real

>>286446440
No, the original allegation was against Shoichi Yamamoto being reinstated with the pen name Hajime Ichiro. The case was completely different from Matsuki's too.

>>286446291
What's crazy reading the article is Shoggy confirmed that they were the ones who contacted Matsuki

A 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.

>>286446450
were you a reader?

>>286446291
Matsuki my GOAT

>>286446291
They should give Shiro a gun

Maybe loli isn't just drawings...

>>286446462
based retards

>>286446291
Wait 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.

at least pick a correct case to do this you retard

Release the Odafiles

>>286446362
But 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.

Interesting fact, that Miki penname in Japanese is 八ツ波樹.

樹 can be also read as Itsuki.

Although 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.

They hired TWO authors convicted of sexual assault against minors.

>>286446491
It'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.

>>286446491
I 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.

disgusting

Act age was a banger
This manga is a banger
Let 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.

>>286446491
Ichi's a bog standard shonen slop. It's probably slightly above average.

>>286446596
>pooping on girls man
No way, that's what the other guy was doing?

>>286446612
he 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.

>>286446613
what crimes? his writing?

>>286446291
poor guy matsuki already atoned but somehow still got involved in other retard case

>>286446582
yeah so she is sexualized a lot right?

>>286446291
I 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.

>>286446612
No. This is the correct punishment for being a pedo.

>>286446612
>but if a whole different company hired him
Shogakukan owns Shueisha

>>286446491
Ichi fucking sucks, read Someone Hertz instead if you want Act Age vibes.

Do you think his victim (s) feel this way? Weird post.

>>286446623
>>286446631
>>286446635
He never set a foot on prison
He 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)

>>286446612
Trying to keep it hidden is unacceptable. Imagine if one of his victims was a fan of his new manga.

>#230520352035020 stories on how revenge is bad and how bad people can change

HOLY FUCKING BASED

>>286446291
This is honestly fucking hilarious lmao

>>286446667
This isn't "revenge". The coward is hiding his identity.

>>286446612
They 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.

>>286446667
maybe those stories are pure slop and pure idealism

>>286446672

>>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

that's crazy

how is he supposed to pay the damages bill if he can't work?

>>286446699

You think they throw people in jail and don't try to reform them?

>>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?

>>286446291
he's a scum for what he did but he's served his sentence, do they want him to kill himself or what?

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.

>>286446769

But 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.

More Info

The editorial department was aware of this fact when deciding to hire him as the original author of ‘The Counselor Through the Years and Stars’. The decision to hire him was made after confirming the finalization of the sentence and the completion of the probation period. We also verified his attitude of reflection regarding the incident, his efforts to prevent recurrence, and the status of his social reintegration support by specialists, and discussed it within the editorial department.

After the incident, Yatsunami Itsuki underwent psychological counseling. Deeply affected by the court verdict and social sanctions, he repeatedly met with a psychologist for rehabilitation, engaging in continuous reflection on the past and self-examination. This experience became a motivation for writing this work. The assigned psychologist has determined that Yatsunami Itsuki has undergone sufficient psychological treatment and rehabilitation. The editorial department judges that his aim to return to society should not be denied.

Meanwhile, regarding the artist, Kaoru Yukihira, both Mr. Yatsunami and the editor in charge met with her in person. They explained Mr. Yatsunami's past pen name and the circumstances of the incident. After fully understanding the various risks she might face if this fact became public knowledge, she accepted the illustration commission, stating: "Reading the manga (original work) made me cry for the first time in my life. I felt this was a work I should draw. The themes, social significance, and appeal of this work deserve to be shared with the world." We consulted with Kaoru Yukihira beforehand regarding the disclosure of Yatsunami Itsuki's past. Ms. Yukihira expressed her desire to continue the serialization and her commitment to continuing the artwork.

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.

>>286446959
No, 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.

>>286447011
Absolutely. 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 One

It 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.

>>286447011
Yes, JC/JS is the most heterosexual male urge to have. The mangaka was just being a healthy male.

Just giving it a brief read of Seisou no Shinrishi, definitely feels like Tatsuki was inspired by his rehab period
it'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

If 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.

I'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.

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.

So probably not catching him, but with some luck it'll hit his sales

>>286446291
The 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.

Give him to Hori, his big enough to shrug some controversy and Hori really need some good fucking writter

>>286447234
If 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

Act-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.

Given 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.

>>286447410

It 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

> 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.
