The popular manga "Actor Yonagi Kei" has ended its serialization. The original author Matsuki Tatsuya is suspected of obscenity

On August 8, it was reported that the author of the popular manga "Act-Age" currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" was suddenly arrested on suspicion of indecent assault (reported by this site). Fans' concerns that the series would suddenly "end" have come true. Today, on August 10, Shueisha issued a statement confirming that the serialization of "Act-Age" has ended.

· "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.

Although Shueisha issued a statement on the same day saying that it would handle the matter carefully and did not specify any specific punishment, due to the seriousness of the incident, it still made the decision to terminate the serialization today. At the same time, it expressed condolences and encouragement to Usazaki Dai, who was implicated in the incident and was responsible for the painting. In the future, it will continue to support Usazaki Dai's painting career.
