The Apothecary Diaries'

Oh, anime news? That’s neat. Lemmy isn’t huge on discussing media of any sort.

…Manga Artist

It was child pornography

…Has Been Sentenced

I knew it. That industry needs to be burned to the ground. It’s endemic and utterly unacceptable. I’m glad they caught them.

…To 10 Months In Prison

A slap on the wrist like that samurai artist? How can Japan tolerate this?

…for tax evasion

Oh. Well now I feel foolish. Good thing no one was privy to my insane leaps in logic.

Honestly, finding out it was tax evasion and not CP is actually kinda relieving.

Dude I went through the exact same thought process

Something people are missing just based on the headline is that this is a "suspended sentence." So, there is a period of three years where, as long as she doesn't commit any similar offenses, she will have been considered as having served her time without actually going to prison.

Different article source.

TIL You can get jailed for tax evasion in Japan

EDIT Okay this concerned deliberately taking away ¥47mil (€281k / $305k) from the government, maybe that was justified.

Based 😌

I always felt that that writer was cool.

Too bad they were caught 🥲

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The person who was caught is the artist of the manga adaptation and not the writer of the original light novel.

(Also both the ln-writer and the manga-artist are female.)

Ah, I see. Still based.

(Also thanks, fixed, preserving the drama of the comment chain)
