The author of the popular manga "Actor Yonagi Kei" Matsuki Tatsuya was arrested on suspicion of indecency and the manga may be out of print

On August 8, it was reported that Tatsuya Matsuki, the author of the popular manga "Act-Age" currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", was suddenly arrested on suspicion of indecent assault. While fans expressed regret, they were also worried that the manga volume might be out of print.

· "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.

According to Shueisha's past practice, any cartoonist involved in violating the child prostitution law will generally be banned. Fans are worried that "Actor Yonagaki Kei" will soon be announced to be discontinued and the single volume will be out of print. Shueisha has issued an apology statement to the public and stated that it will deal with this matter seriously. The specific measures have not yet been made public.
