Ok, seriously, WTH is up with these threats? I haven't read the manga but there either has to be something indirectly offesnive to someone or the someone has beef with the creator that needs to be solved soon....

The fact this is going on as long as it has, its surprsing to me but no one seems to have any idea on how to track this guy(or group?) down, which needs to be done as quickly as possible.

Grr, the fact that they're pretty much doing exactly what this guy wants really pisses me off...Are the police seriously having that much trouble tracking this guy down?

That is your answer? To have a story cancelled through no fault of the author after all the hardships he went through to get published?

Is there any agency in Japan even investigating this? If so, they are doing a crappy job of it.

Just assume all events are cancelled until further notice.

Assume any event related to Kuroko will be canceled and if they have any involvement with it to have anything "Kuroko no Basket"-related removed.

I heard it was a former classmate of the mangaka doing this. >_>

Either the police are incompetent or they've already looked into any obvious suspect like that.
I think it just has to be a random mentally unstable anti-fan. It is very surprising that they haven't caught them yet.
Maybe a lot of the recent threats are actually copycats. With all the publicity it's been getting, it wouldn't surprise me if some new idiots were doing it.

I hope they get him before he starts really threatening C83. Given how quick they are to cancel these miniscule events, I doubt the biggest indie comic event in the world will be canceled because of a single dose of poison may be sent through the mail.

This is getting really ridiculous. At the rate their caving in to this guy's threats they might as well cancel the series altogether. I get their worried about people but just caving in to the threats is only going to make it look to the guy like his plan is working and frankly if he hasn't done the really bloody obvious thing and threaten Shueisha or Production I.G. he's clearly not as smart as he thinks he is. Unless his plan is to slowly chip away at the series' popularity before delivering the final blow...but I doubt this guy is thinking that deeply into it.
