Not only did they cancel the whole series in Japan, they refused to translate the final chapter in English in North America, and now they even go so far as to issue this take down...Wow. They're really adamant about canceling the author outright and making everything about him disappear and swept under the rug like the Soviets did to people, making them seem like they never existed in the first place.

It's a shame such a good story was cancelled. I'd rather the author served whatever sentence and returned to it after some time.

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

well, given how some mangakas were fine previously, I'm assuming they want to make the author an example, or something like that?

It's reassuring to know that you can't even express personal opinion about subpar abilities of a female artist anymore. How come my little snippet about thinking she's not as talented as people are overwhelmingly claiming in this thread got deleted (not even hidden ; something that I've witnessed for first time here), but shitshow of an exchange below is still on display?

Where the fuck are you going west?

 

[Seamew]

Anyway. Recs. I'd appreciate some.

This site does lack recommendations/themed collections/user tags or some other function for this purpose. I can probably go search elsewhere, there's direct links for that even, but still.

It sucks that the Manga is got axed because the writer admitted to molesting some teens (he deserves jail for that, and I'm actually surprised some girls came forward about it since Japanese is one of the societies that frown upon reporting sexual assault, I applaud them for their bravery).

But then again, considering this is Japan, if you are caught for statutory rape or sexual assault, you get a minimum sentence and after 10 years out of the public eye, no one cars anymore and you are back (if Japan's entertainment industry is anything to show for it. There are many examples of entertainer come backs after serious sexual crimes. Unless you are a "half-Japanese" female or female in general. If you get caught for cheating, you are basically out forever. Sexism and all that, but I digress.)

It also sucks that the artist is now out of a job too. I like their art style, so I hope they get a good series next time.

 

[Hawlyer]

isn't it depressing?

@hedgemoney

You know nothing about Japan or shame / honor based societies in general. Just shut up and stop bringing up outlier cases like Watsuki or two other I can think of.

Come on, name me twenty examples of when that happened. Shouldn't be too hard if there are so many.

R.I.P manga I wanted to read one day. I heard good things about you, but now all of it doesn't matter since reading a manga that you know will never have a ending is something an only masochist would enjoy or Isekai fan, I'm both so actually nice.

I've read Vagabond thrice lmao. I can just imagine this series as one of those that I enjoyed to read only to get dropped by translators and move on to another manga so I can just read this knowing it won't end

Real shame, degenerates will always exist as long as there are bad influences, and simple-minded people, but is a shame that such work just go to like this.

I always follow an artist for his work and just work, but i get that they have some kind of responsibility once they gained some notoriety, bc being ignorant like this can bring problems to other people and not only you, like the artist, i really hope he can get up and still working.

They just should quit the author from this work and still go with it? or what is there left
It was the right decision to erased everything for the actions of one person?
Well, I'm sure I don't know, but still a shame.

 

[YouMe_Clay]

I can't believe I'm so angry. I could never know the rest of this original story.
I would really love to extract your brain and finish your unfinished business.
To think that a few years earlier he wanted to end up in prison. Looks like his wish has come true. But fuck his logic, and fuck his act.

Honestly decent, I guess. Oh well.
