Oh wow. I didn't realize the series was still on hiatus.

Sosuke Toka has been accused of being a right winger since the manga was published. Though these claims are not baseless as there is anti-Korean sentiment within the writing. One of the kingdoms Gyakuza is based on Korea and the kingdom is portrayed as an antagonistic nation.

However, I've never heard of Toka being accused of a pedo. Sad That is troubling if that is true.

Reminder that Japanese "Defamation" law isn't about truth. You can sue someone for saying something that harms your reputation even if it's true. So these statements may be true even if Touka wins the case. But there doesn't seem any evidence to support the pedo claim.

I wonder which work he is supposed to be ripping off. Such claims would have exploded around the anime's release of they had legs. Is the author a far right racist? Maybe.

Making baseless claims about someone is not only wrong, but damaging.
