No one wants to be associated with pedos. It's bad for business.

Specially a business model like Shounen Jump, who target mostly early adults and teens.

You dont need le "SJW NPC cucks soyboys" strawman, it's cold, capitalist logic.


It's not like the series had anything pedo-esque, or that liking it makes you some sort of accomplice, but keeping it on official sales will keep giving part of the profits for the idiot writer.



Oh, well, goodbye, anime adaptation.

Just because he was arrested doesn't mean he can't continue his job... once he is out can still continue working on it, that if he wants and the audience shows some interest but still, it won't have the support of being released on shonen jump. So it loses what could have been an incredible boost on popularity, along his new stained reputation, it will be quite hard to make it a success.

There it goes in the dustbin of history a excellent manga, with touching arcs and characters.
Hope the artist get's a new job soon in the market. She's talented as hell and did nothing wrong.

For those who liked the Acting setting for a Drama with female lead: go read Kasane. Bonus: It's finished.

Don't use big words like projecting when you don't care about buildup and effort required to build a well selling series, molesting doesn't mean pedophile stop spitting big words to win debates.

Molesting underaged victims IS being a pedophile...what do you THINK a pedophile is?

I do, but the author does not, otherwise he would not be doing that, right when he was on the verge of becoming famous and rich.

And potentially ruining the career of the artist (I really hope that is not the case) who was working with him for years.

It's dependent upon the age of the girls in question. It seems as if news giving more specifics around this incident has been fairly scarce, or at least out of what I've seen posted thus far on MAL, but pedophilia is defined as a sustained attraction to specifically prepubescent children. Though that is separate entirely from the offense of molestation. There are pedophiles who don't molest anyone regardless of age and acts of molestation/sexual assault committed against those of all ages (including any adult age). It isn't something defined by "underaged" because it's classified in medical and psychiatric terms concerning biology and anatomy about attraction to those prior to their reaching a level of sexual development; the underaged thing is a legal issue not a medical one because what constitutes underaged is different in every jurisdiction and changes over time so is much more malleable and fluid but pedophilia has a strict biologically-based definition.

So, it can be said he is alleged to have committed molestation/sexual assault, but automatically labeling him a pedophile in addition is going too far and possibly inaccurate without further disclosure of personal information concerning the victims, like the girls' ages.

That is really unfortunate. Hopefully no one else will ever do this, and Tatsuya Matsuki will change for the better. Best wishes to those who was affected by this incident.

At the very least, he didn't deny it and take it like a man. I'm not saying that molesting someone is good, but at the very least he tried to repent from his mistake. Bit of battered about when I almost jump to this, but I do believe that act age is good based on my own standards. I do hope he somehow "will" continue and I'll gladly enjoy it the next time he had the chance to.

Yeah but now the series is gone and it's not in stores as i would love to see a anime adaptation by Madhouse and a English dub by Funimation so why won't the artist give the go ahead for a anime adaptation of Act Age with a second season with a anime original ending
