"The main reason for the trouble was that the editors of Flowers magazine had been giving approvals to the character designs and the scripts of the anime without the author's permission."

So it isn't necessarily the anime creators' faults. They thought that the approvals they were given from the editor was the opinion of the author as well. Or I'm completely off.



Okay, I admit, that cracked me up. :D
But manga artists sometimes are really busy and don't do much else but draw. :P


And... is it legal to make an anime without the mangaka's permission? Couldn't they sue or something? Unless the manga is counted as the magazine's property. Hm.

It all depends on who owns the rights to the work.

I'm guessing as someone else already mentioned, she had probably already signed away her rights to her own work in her initial publication contract. I have no idea how Japanese courts work, but there could still be some room in the states for her to sue on the grounds of intellectual property rights. Did the editors properly explain to her before hand that she was signing away all rights to an anime adaption and any royalties that it might otherwise have entailed? Even if they did, if they can't prove it, she could still sue them in a civil suit, once again if Japanese courts work the same way.

Here's another thought. Since she's stopped working on the Manga, she could once again be in violation of her contract and be subject to having her contract and manga terminated.

two words...Studio Pierrot ><"""

So at what point will the anime be suspended? It's already at 20 eps. Any idea how many eps are planned or will it be ongoing? I don't see that anywhere online. I freaking love this show.

All these comments...
I can't! You guys... xD


Mangakas are so busy,
they don't have time to watch TV,
they eat, sleep and make manga.

But seriously they make anime without author acceptance?
Seriously WTF?
What were they thinking?
That she do not find out about this?

OMG! THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS HILARIOUS!


OMG! Now when you write this... -.-
*facepalm*
Pierrot, now this isn't suprise for me...

Wasn't there a recent law that was fast-tracked by the Japanese Diet/Congress that gave equal copyrights for manga works to the producers and editors? Also, a lot of Manga ended abruptly cause of Authors being outraged and wanted to protect their copyright properties before the law took effect?

A while back, I was reading vague posts about it and wasn't sure if it's true.

well... anything that involves Avex is gona be dark...
