The popular manga "Actor Yonagi Kei" has ended its serialization and the subsequent single volume has been resold at a high price

Scalpers need to have a keen sense of smell and act one step ahead of others. On August 8, it was suddenly reported that the author of the popular manga "Act-Age" currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault (reported by this site), and the "scalpers" that fans were worried about have finally come.

· "Act-age" is a manga written by Matsuki Tatsuya and illustrated by Usazaki Dai, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018. It tells the story of a high school girl who wants to become an actress to support her family income. Although Yonagi showed her genius acting skills when she participated in the actor selection of the famous entertainment agency STARS, she was still not selected. The reason lies in her dangerous acting method. However, the film director Kuroyama, who was fascinated by Yonagi's talent, actually invited her to join the world of actors and wanted her to play the leading role in the movie he was preparing to shoot.

According to Japanese media reports on August 8, Matsuki Tatsuya was suspected of forcibly molesting a female middle school student on a street in Nakano District, Tokyo on the night of June 18. Although he escaped at the time, the police eventually captured Matsuki Tatsuya based on surveillance footage, and Matsuki Tatsuya has admitted his crime.

Considering that "Actor Yonagi Kei" is likely to be out of print, many normal Japanese readers have reported that when they went to bookstores to buy single volumes, they found that the counters were already empty. However, various second-hand high-priced "Actor Yonagi Kei" comics on the Internet have suddenly skyrocketed. The original price of 440 yen per single volume of comics has been hyped up to 2,000 yen, and there are also many packages from 1 to 12 volumes for 8,700 yen.

Fans expressed their extreme indignation and helplessness. As of this afternoon, the original paper version of "Actor Yonagi Kei" is no longer available for purchase on Japan Asia, and only the Kindle electronic version is still available.
