Devastating news for a manga fan.
It's now officially confirmed, after 3 days of speculations going viral on X, that this manga artist got ruled for doing horrendous things to his then underaged student.
What's worse, it looks like the major publisher Shogakukan kept the secret for 6 years, even hired him under a different pen name as author for a new show.
This mangaka Shoichi Yamamoto SA'ed a high schooler he taught part time, made her eat feces and smeared them on her face too. She was 15 when it started.
He got arrested in 2020 and his comic "Daten Sakusen" stopped with little explanation. In the following year, his editor allegedly advised for the settlement, offering the victim 1.5M yen (roughly $9600) to stay quiet, which of course they failed.
In 2022, the artist was brought back as Hajime Ichiro to write a story for their new series. As in "their", it's the same editor.
The publisher made a statement only on their app "Manga One" so far, the exclusive platform for his works. But many already deleted the app, including myself.
