that makes it seem like he understands the implication and is doesn't want to be associated in any way.

Hideaki Hatta passed away on February 16, 2026.

I'm at a loss of words other than that I'm extremely grateful of the work he did in this world. The amount of joy Kyoani brought into my life under his leadership is beyond measure.

The only series to get unfairly accused of homophobia because the animation was so bad they couldn't animate a same sex kiss properly so censored it with light beams instead.

I still laugh at that.

A heads up that the Polygon article (and others in Japanese) about the horrible case coming out of Shogakukan is full of bad information, like conflating a civil and criminal case.

I'm sure this will cause zero issues when talking about the situation moving forward.

They won't let me follow accounts but I *can* bookmark posts for some reason, so I guess I'm just using that to remind me later the accounts I was planning on following.

Did Musk do something stupid again or is just the normal Bluesky instability/slowness that hits every now and then?

And by “not enough pushback,” we mean that Nobuhiro Watsuki has been selected by Shueisha to be a judge for the 2026 Tezuka Awards!

By "giant lesbian trans woman", I mean I'm very very lesbian, not that I am a giant woman. (Sorry to disappoint anyone who briefly misunderstood lol)

It doesn't hurt that I'm a giant lesbian trans woman, and you draw a lot of women who love women many of which are also trans. But when you draw straight couples or stuff that doesn't 100% cater to my exact preference, the love and intimacy in the art makes it really cute and warm and I love it too.

I'm not an artist so I have trouble sometimes describing specific aspects from an artist perspective, but your characters always come off as very loving and intimate with each other. It's art that makes me happy to look at even if I'm not horny (it's also really hot too for when I am)

But for a more general answer for your extra spicy account you do some really interesting and unique creature designs that I appreciate, and for a more general answer for all your art, I'm basically gonna steal onigiriarts' response.

Good to see that some mangaka are pulling their work and/or putting it on hiatus in protest over this, and that was before it got revealed that the Act-Age writer was also working with Manga Plus under a pen name to hide his identity.

There's been so much horrible shit happening lately I somehow missed the horrible stuff about Manga One and Shogakukan covering so for sex criminals, apparently MULTIPLE ones. What the fuck.

Shogakukan Apologizes for Releasing New Manga by Creator Convicted of Sex Crime Against Minor Other creators react when civil suit reveals crime's details, Manga ONE editor's role in settlement talks

There has been a lot of response over the past few days since the Shogakukan coverup story came out. The manga for Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End has been removed from Manga ONE, as have all works by Rumiko Takahashi (Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, etc.) www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2026-02...

Tweet from Shibuya Kaho:
Devastating news for a manga fan.

It's now officially confirmed, after 3 days of speculations going viral on X, that this manga artist got ruled for doing horrendous things to his then underaged student. 

What's worse, it looks like the major publisher Shogakukan kept the secret for 6 years, even hired him under a different pen name as author for a new show.

This mangaka Shoichi Yamamoto SA'ed a high schooler he taught part time, made her eat feces and smeared them on her face too. She was 15 when it started.

He got arrested in 2020 and his comic "Daten Sakusen" stopped with little explanation. In the following year, his editor allegedly advised for the settlement, offering the victim 1.5M yen (roughly $9600) to stay quiet, which of course they failed.

In 2022, the artist was brought back as Hajime Ichiro to write a story for their new series. As in "their", it's the same editor.

The publisher made a statement only on their app "Manga One" so far, the exclusive platform for his works. But many already deleted the app, including myself.

I don’t know why I’m first hearing about this from a famous JAV actress turned videogame content creator, but this is the first I’m hearing of this really horrific story and SIX YEAR COVERUP by Shogakukan (CW: sexual abuse). And it’s not like the perpetrator is even famous. Are there others who are?

@smollusk.bsky.social Sending you an old but adorable pic of my cat because I don't know how you manage to argue with bad faith antisemites without losing your mind and I feel you could use some cuteness/good vibes.

One of my favorite games of last year and utterly ridiculous that it is free.

It is orders of magnitude larger and more fully-featured than 99% of commercial rhythm games. It's also a visual novel, a cypher-cracking ARG, a Yume Nikki like oneiric explorathon and even has ONLINE MULTIPLAYER.

So absolutely added to my library, praying it's not too harsh on the difficulty and/or has an easy mode or something.

A screenshot of a Steam Curator blurb for a game, from the Hella Yuri curator. The blurb is as follows: “Protagonist is a trans lesbian in a relationship with another main female character, which is important to the story.”

This blurb is followed by a thumbs up recommendation.

I absolutely SUCK at rhythm games, but I thought this looked cool based on your post and trust your recommendations, and then I saw this on the Steam page.

How's the quitting smoking going? My dad's been an on again off again on again off again on yet again smoker since he was a kid. And I've lived with him for like 4 decades, so I know it can be rough at times. *sending good vibes your way*

On a more positive note, you look amazing there, and neither you nor your shirt deserve the comparison to her, so I'm angry on your behalf.

Though as a trans woman who picked "Maya" as my name... I guess unpleasant comparisons to British transphobes is just our lot in life lol.

Color photo of a man with brown hair and tan or brown skin, leaning against a very cool huge teal car. In his hands he’s holding a tiny white and ginger kitten that seems like it might be wearing a collar and leash but it’s difficult to tell for sure. Palm trees rise up in the background.

All the coolest dudes love kittens. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
