I do not think the author's work should be discredited or cancelled for an unrelated offense. After all, if millennial and gen z were to consider their own unrelated offenses that are also equally impactful, though not necessarily illegal, would they discredit all the things they have done in their own life as well? Plus, there is the potential of mental related issues. People need to consider limiting their criticism to what is specifically onsite, not all grounds.

@Hyperspace @MoonTengu
he is assaulting middle schooler, when the victim using uniform (mean high chance purposefully targeted, also reject the notion that he is not conscious) on a broad daylight, recorded on cctv, then run away, twice. there is 0 excuse on that.

also japan always has been big on cancel culture even before it become mainstream, heck, even more harsh on it called shame culture. for example your whole family can get cancelled if one of your family using drugs.

Agree with u @kuma

While it's sad that the manga was canceled, I think what the publishers did was correct. Continuing work with that author would have sent a bad message to their readers (e.g. we condone pedophiles and are willing to work with them).

Even in the States, I doubt he would be welcome in most companies if he were convicted as a pedophile.

Besides, think about who his target audience is...

its kinda sad how we never got to find out what movie the director wanted yonagi to be in.
i had always looked forward to it and now i just feel a bit empty.

 

[suggestivesloth]

im disappointed that this manga will never be finished, but im glad that shonen jump dropped the creator for his misconduct. its inappropriate.

 

[TitoHut]

Shame this got cancelled, but props to the publisher for doing the right thing.

Congrats to the writer for slam dunking his entire life into the fucking dumpster.

Glad the artist was a good boy, the art was the best part of the manga.

 

[UsernameMangaDex]

Ah yes, bicycles. What a shame.

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

I loved this manga but I'm glad the author was caught and the manga canceled

Eagerly waiting for Shiro Usazaki's next work

 

[haikat4]

there is nothing wrong with touching teen butts. the author should be celebrated as a national hero. mhm mhm

 

[kuma]

@haikat4 if you are not on red notice of police in your nation. the police in your nation didn't do their job.

I hope Shiro Usazaki can start drawing asap. She deserves it.

 

[Kreepo12351]

So all viz scan will be here? Nice

 

[TinTheGreat]

@Yourself
Jeez, Will they remove it from the SJ app too?

 

[Ncararc]

Author had a good thing, but saw some schoolgirl butt and did a bad thing.

And this, kids, is why we can't have nice things. Anymore.

 

[dmy96]

Damn viz media really washes their hand from the author.

 

[Tamed]

Oh good. With Shounen Jump putting both the artist and the author under the guillotine, we get to have all the chapters here. Hope the artist discovers a way to change their style.

 

[kuro0102]

At least this will serve as an example that Japan does not tolerate pedophilia, even the smallest act of it could ruin your entire life.

 

[kuma]

@Tamed the artist her self deleted every mention of act age in her profile. even before shueisha announced anything. and shueisha said will support usazaki future project.
