At least this author paid her taxes (probably)!

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto: Mao Mao no Kōkyū Nazotoki Techō is a separate manga adaptation of the original light novel series from Nekokurage's manga adaptation titled The Apothecary Diaries.

What will happen to the original manga adaptation of Apothecary Diaries now that the artist has been arrested for tax evasion?

Looks like it's time to drop the manga and dive into the light novel instead.

The artist of the better-known manga pleaded guilty to the tax crime. Is that the most up-to-date info there?

From what I've read, the issue with unpaid taxes appeared to be from neglect of filling out the paperwork/not hiring an accountant to help, and not from a malicious intent to keep the money. As a self-employed contractor whose US taxes are ~complicated~ I'm sympathetic. Also, I've read all back taxes were paid and I'm pretty sure it all happened a few years back, but the legal rulings just came to light recently after the situation had already been resolved.

Anyway, congrats to Minoji Kurata and family!
