Hope she gets thru all this. Now, I feel like I wasted my time reading this manga. Good thing an anime adaptation for this wasn’t announced before all this happened. It would have been probably cancelled on the spot and all those working on it would have just wasted their time. Where in my post did I say I didn't enjoy/like the manga? Please show me... I feel like I wasted my time because now I know that after this incident the manga will get cancelled (in the spot). That's what I meant... There is nothing there about me not liking/enjoying the manga. |

 Hope SJ keeps her and continues the story. She can carry it on but I'll assume SJ will want to end the series quickly. |

| Wut!? I was just planning to read it after my friend recommended it but looks like it's gonna get a rushed ending now or will get into an eternal hiatus(it sucks the most). |

MSAtlos said: I don't think ruroni kenshin was cancelled when the mangaka was caught with child porn so there is a change this wont immediately be cancelled That issue happened a long time after the release of the original Rurouni Kenshin and then during his publishing of his sequel (Hokkaido arc) after he got caught, he got hit with a fine as his punishment but was still able to continue after since he already served his punishment with a fine. But for that particular issue, while still fucked, it's not as severe as what's happening here and the magazine for Weekly Shounen Jump is way more popular and has a much more vocal fanbase so the room for error is much slimmer, making this error have a wider impact. Especially when the manga's peaking in popularity and ratings currently, with people expecting anime out of this soon too. To have a severe issue that involves actual contact with 12-15 year olds in 'dodgy' fashion is definitely more stricter than what Watsuki did since he didn't physically go for anyone then. Both suck ass but the fact is that Act-Age is in big trouble right now with its status and definitely has more chances of cancellation unless WSJ decides not to, which wouldn't be well received on their part. |
| Bruh, I was planning on reading this one, now I'm not sure if can do it. The artwork is gorgeous but fuck the writer. I hope they don't cancel it, maybe they could replace the writer or something like that. The illustrator doesn't deserve to lose her job because this nasty fuckwit. |
| Anime fucking never, manga fucking cancelled. This is a pretty big fucking yikes. Shame that this shit happened. I now don't want to continue this manga honestly. I just hope the artist recovers from this total BS. |

I sure fucking hope not. What made me pick Act-Age was the art. |

| This is a big fucking rip, act-age was without a doubt my top manga. Now it’s 100% gonna get axed, and probally removed as a whole from the app and website. More so, people are gonna hate the series and have a bias against it for what the shitty author did. For Fuck sake, hope the victims are doing well |
| Aria is the greatest manga of all time |
KanisterPaliwa said: I love Act-Age, but that doesn't mean the author should get a pass for sexual assault. Letting him off with just a fine isn't fair to the victims. Jump won't want to be associated with him anymore either, so even if he is let off with a fine, he'll lose his job. I think the best we can hope for is that the artist or another mangaka writes the story until the end of this arc, then cancellation.Hopefully he'll pay the fine and use this experience to write next chapters. |
| And The Score of the Manga is very good too, It looks like Being a decent writer involves being a massive piece of shit and This fucker is just one of the massive ones |

| This is bad, but I just hope he didn't do anything truly heinous, like following the "wrong" artists on Pixiv. |

| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

| C'mon man, just when his series was getting mainstream, he did this 🤦♂️ and here i was really looking forward to read it. I do hope it'll continue but i doubt that'll happen. |

Manu_99 said: Well, we still got the illustrator, pls dear shonen jump let the series continue with another person writing the storyboards How the hell does that make any sense? The story would never be the same because it's not done by the original author. |
| FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK The story was finally getting good then this? Fuck 2020 jesus. |
| Well the most unique thing about Act-Age is the art since there are other acting anime/manga series. This is a big blow to the co-creator, the Artist herself. |
 |
| good grief man, this a real society moment right here. what he did was fucked and honestly i cant believe he'd throw away all his and everyone working on act ages hard work like this. i hope the victims are ok and that the artist gets through this, its a real shame because i was planning to read it as well. guess we're saying adios to an anime adaptation. that stage play thing probably isnt happening either. |
 |
| Godammit. I guess it´s RIP for Act-Age then. And I really liked it too. Having a good female MC in a Shounen magazine was a pretty nice thing too. People can have sick thoughts however they like as long as they never act upon them. |
| How I love a game |

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I hope the victims are okay. I hope the artist will be okay too. This writer though... eugh. Like for real, guy? People can be so stupid. I know there's a whole thing with groping on trains in Japan, so I'm not surprised with this either. Still it's sad that it's happening and this just adds to the crap. |
| I was excited for the next chapter and so heard the news later like whuttt. This manga has the potential for anime adaptation already. I dont think people will see this series in the same light anymore. Hope the victims are fine. |
| Disgusting behavior. And to junior high girls no less. |
| Its sad, that he did something like that. Nobody knows if it will be cancelled, but their was a similar case and shounen jump stopped publishing the authors work |
hypercowbell said: yeah, a victim of his own bad decisions. he is responsible for whatever consequences come of this situation.Don't act like this kind of stuff doesn't happen all the time in manga and anime. He is a victim, too. Anime and manga became too real in his mind. |
and i guess that i just don't know |
| Shame to hear, really enjoyed the series too, even on my favorites (as of posting this). Knowing this won't affect my overall opinion of the manga, though the art is more what got me interested in it in the first place, it seems likely that the manga will just be downright cancelled. Hoping this doesn't affect the artist ability to move on to something else |
Mako995 said: What is it with Jump mangaka's and touching kids >: Dude there like only 3 incidents, one (Toriko's author) pay a girl that he didn't know was underage for sex (prostitution), one was Kenshin's author which to be fair child porn wasn't banned when he bought those video and was banned after he bought those. Short_Circut said: This is like the 3rd WSJ author to have been involved in minor related issues recently wow. It's like wsj is starting to be a breeding pool for these people 3 among what, hundreds of authors. Jump is the biggest manga magazine in Japan so any scandal they have will be the biggest in public eyes. |
| What a huge fucking fail. Holy shit! I can't believe this happened Imagine being an author of a great and unique manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump with ton of promotion, with great potential to become a next mainstream title for the magazine, with stage play and anime being on the way.... And you still decide to be sick retard and throw it all away... |

And its still three too many, not to mention here there's probably loads more considering the rules against having content and doing stuff like that here are minimal. |
