Ok, I'm can't control myself anymore.

FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD IT'S BEEN (ALMOST?) A YEAR! How long is this stupidity going to continue? The police are doing NOTHING. Next thing you know the books will be cancelled because the psycho threatened to bomb book stores which sold the books.

I'm sorry but I am SICK and TIRED of this.

How the heck is this still a thing..it has been why to long and this no longer makes any sense. Dojinshi is no longer the issue so I am completely confused as to why they are doing this still.

Also they are now threatening actual business now not just non profit so the police needs to start taking these threats more seriously.

This is getting really old. I feel bad for whoever is wasting their time doing this. The only way this could be funny is if the culprit was the creator of Slam Dunk, because he was jealous of Kuroko's Basketball.

It's so easy to make 'threats' in Japan, isn't it?

Laughing Laughing Or the hardcore fan of Slam Dunk. This sort of threat affects the mangaka as well as the fans of Kuroko no Basuke.

The cops are really, really slow and incompetent when it comes to doing jobs as evident as ever observing the past incidents. Is this universal or in Japan only?

Are the Japanese police so incompetent that they still haven't found and locked up this idiot?

They still do it because they still can. As long as this is still getting media attention and their threats are effective they'll keep doing this until they're caught. It's obviously a hoax, if people would stop giving into the threats he'd probably stop.

Agreed. I hope it doesn't get to the point that even the bookstores cower to this loser.

Anyone else pre-ordering the IchiKu line (in part) in spite? That's the best way I know of for fans to hurt this fsckwit. The anime has a second season and sales of the manga are doing well. Let's not let some pathetic POS stop a great series.

Hell, I got in to Kuroko's partially because of all the controversy and threats.
