Mangaka in jump have gotten away with worse before, this won't do shit besides have him issue an apology and avoid public appearances for a while.
Reminder the Ruroni Kenshin author got caught with literal softcore child porn and fucking Oda himself is trying to clear up his image and helping him out. Shonen mangaka are sleezebags as a general rule.

TIME PARADOX GHOSTWRITER SURVIVES ANOTHER AXE HOW DOES HE DO IT
Aaron Butler
>gets on a bike and smacks random girls from behind What the absolute fuck was he thinking?
Julian Martinez
Alliancebros...
Jayden Foster
>got caught with literal softcore child porn and fucking Oda Since when fucking Oda is a crime? Is he underage?
Hudson Gomez
He probably unironically went insane or something.
>Reminder the Ruroni Kenshin author got caught with literal softcore child porn and fucking Oda himself is trying to clear up his image and helping him out. Jesus dekinai do some better research. Watsuki got caught with cheese pizza. But it's Shima who's Oda's friend and paid a 16 year old for sex.
It's not going to happen, but I hope Shiro wants and is allowed to take over the writing. It would definitely suffer but she doesn't deserve to have her big break killed like this because the writer went crazy.
They won't bother, it's a dead property. Can't do anime or even proceed with already announced stage play because it's all Matsuki's work.
Caleb Williams
but the series is obviously getting cancelled now that Jump has stepped in and is starting to remove all references of Act Age from their catalog
Logan Gutierrez
Maybe he thought that writing a manga about actresses would get him in close contact with a Japanese actress and eventually develop into something romantic. I guess that didn't happen and he couldn't control his desires.
Nolan Lee
Why would she need a new magazine when she wasn't involved into anything? Jump doesn't randomly throw away its artists.
Ryan Myers
what happens now? who decides the next move? do they both own the story/art? only shueisha? both?
Brayden Torres
Yeah, hopefully she can take over. Besides, the guy will probably just come back after some hiatus like Shimabukuro and Watsuki.
Caleb Rogers
I didn't claim he fucked a kid, dipshit. Oda has appeared alongside Watsuki since then and has in general kept up friendly relations - he's trying to pretend that conviction never happened.
Imagine being fresh out of college, full of hope for the future, and getting to be part of one of SJ's new hits as the main artist as pretty much the start of your career.
Imagine then finding out your mentor is a fucking weirdo who rides around on his bike touching kid's bums like some joke villain from an episode of South Park about the dutch. Imagine knowing you're about to lose your meal ticket and possibly the only hit you'll ever work on.
Josiah Rogers
Can someone compile the authors comment. Its fucking hilarious.
Unless theres actual proof, dont use reddit comment as a source.
Carson Moore
They were coupled up weirdly too. He was bitching on twitter about being a shit artist, she tried to cheer up a random downtrodden guy on twitter about NEBA GIBING UPPO and then he went "yo i want this young girl to work with me"
Logan Reyes
Her art is nothing special anyways
Adam Cooper
>molesting kids in public in the era of cctv
Caleb Clark
They're really going to cancel him? I thought Japan normalized pedophilia given what's acceptable to be published.
Brandon Flores
I mean if he's at the level of stupid/impulsive that he does drive by bike gropings I'd assume he harasses every female coworker he has unless they're above him in the chain of command.
>a junior high school girl who was walking on the street in Nakano Ward on June 18th was approaching by bicycle from behind and was suspected of being obscene A girl riding a bicycle is considered obscene, did I get it right?
David Morales
Doing anything that has even the slight chance of injuring Oda is grounds for execution in Japan.
Jose Parker
What awful taste, goddamn.
Austin Lee
AND Shima wasn't even criminal. The chick forged a fake ID. He had no intentions of having sex with underage girls.
Andrew Campbell
No way they're CANCELLING the manga. The chapters will most likely be delayed or it will enter hiatus until they decide what to do. For WSJ it's business, they're not letting die a series because the writer is a creep. Also the art is done by a different person, she might as well take over completely.
Juan Ward
?? The actage artist got pick up because she did a good fanart of samon kun. Don't bring misinformed reddit shitter here.
William Young
>The man already served his time puritanfag. Oh sorry bro I forgot that we're all slaves to the government and aren't allowed have opinions on criminals after they pay their dues. >And who are you to know what Oda thinks of Watsuki? Who are you to question me when you're so ignorant you think Watsuki went to jail when all he did was get fined? You're a fucking retarded poser.
Jordan Martinez
Prophetic.
Leo Johnson
>meme'd cunny-age into reality actagebros...
Carter Torres
He was probably just doing some research for his manga.
Jose Smith
The volume that was planned to be released in October has been removed from the Shonen Jump website. Make of that whatever you will
Nathan Hernandez
No, he rode by on his bike and copped a feel/smacked her ass. That's just google translate butchering stuff.
Asher James
Nah, fuck off. She also should be cancelled for complicity and shutting her mouth about her sensei's weird hobbies.
Logan Kelly
they cancelled Shimabu's work back then
Lincoln Diaz
After its all said and done. I think jump will make a formal announcement and say the artist will takeover.
Aaron Butler
user, they will. It's one thing if he just had a stash, but assaulting on the streets is too much, the manga is finished.
Jacob Fisher
>forever unfinished Matching the genre's masterpiece.
