NEWS: Square Enix 'Not Considering' Canceling The Apothecary Diaries Manga After Author's Sentence

Isn't the one being judged the artist not the autor?
Glad It will continue.

Of course they're not considering it, your life in Japan is only over if you smoked weed or something.

Or being revealed to be a two timer and being an abusive lover. That also kills your career as well.

You can discount two timers from that list easily, cause no one remembers that people like Daisuke Namikawa or Nobuhiko Okamoto got into that and they still have successful careers, and even the infamous three-timer Sakurai still keep the roles.

But yeah, no one really had any doubt about Nekokurage still keeping the job, especially after the same case with Touno Mamare not affect publishing of Log Horizon at all.

Printed version of Log Horizon still suffered as they only published one volume since. On the other hand S3 of the anime came after.

If I remember right, this Tax Evasion as more of a mistake or negligence than an intentional attempt to make more money by breaking the law.

It's a manga adaptation of a light novel series, Nekokurage is the author of this manga in the same way a person writing a novel adaptation of a movie is the author of that adaptation.

So I wonder why act-age stopped serialization, then. The one sentenced was the artist, not the author, right? They could always get a new artist to draw it, or maybe put the series to indefinite suspension until the artist was released.

So she says, but much of the prosecution's work was demonstrating that this wasn't the case. And the more details you read, details that were mentioned in earlier articles (and brought up in discussion threads here), the harder it becomes to believe her side. As far as I can tell, her only "mistake" was thinking for some dumb reason that the Tax Bureau wouldn't notice, or wouldn't bother going after her.
