Yesss its back! Thank you, Goggled!

I do hope Yuri Ichigo and co are okay tho.

Just a heads up that /u/ scanlations (specifically me and Urbs) will be picking this up in lieu of Yuri Ichigo's mysterious absence.

You two are saints! Thank you!

Also, yeah, hope Toraiwa enjoys eating through a tube for the rest of his life, because that seems like the best case scenario for him right now.

Im fallen for sakurako too

This series is a straight-up cartoon with no shades of gray or ambiguity and I love it for that.

also fuck toraiwa he sucks so bad

Suddenly, every mangaka in the room is inspired to do a tall, blonde heroine...

Should we start the funeral preparations now? Or just let his body rot in the ground? Personally I'm more partial to the latter, but might as well put it up to a vote.

Let's be honest, there ain't no way he's walking out of there in one piece. Unless, of course, Kageko-san is too kind and decides to show him mercy. Even still, he's gonna be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life

You're doing Madoka's work here, friends. Also, I expect a full room swoon as the reaction to that look in the last panel.

The pixivy tag for the next strip is "Like looking at trash"

You know, it's funny when I looked at the raw I thought he was taking out his frustations on takodoro-san not trying to convince her.

Trust me, next time he's gonna get it QUITE ROUGH and it's all his OWN DOING

I think I get what he was doing, but could someone clarify so I can be sure?

Thanks!

…oh he dead. Like, super dead.

Y’all are awesome!

He was stealing stories from mangakas that he personally rejected. Ranmaru suspected it so he denounced him and many other aspiring mangakas did it as well.

Seems he would tell aspiring mangaka their work wasn't any good, and then turn around and give their stories to other artists and never credit the original author of the story. A real scumbag!

Oh hey this became Liberta all of a sudden

Also, I know Toraiwa is supposed to be the villain and I do dislike him, but this is so over-the-top lol

Yuri Ichigo is dead?

That falls under plagiarism, right? And if I was reading that right this isn't even the first time he's done this?

You know, I don't know why I'm surprised. There's a saying I heard Jim Sterling use, though he(?) didn't coin it, "plagiarism doesn't happen once." If you get caught once, chances are, it's not the first time you've done it.

Ah yes protect your wifey at all costs

See, I told you a simple editor would not be able to rig the competition, but he's certainly horrible enough to find other underhanded ways to get a good manga while screwing over his artists.

toraiwa just joined the it was at this moment he knew club

Jim uses "they/them"

And they were commenting on the Filip Miucin scandal. Turns out Miucin was a proficient plagiarist, who initially got caught once.

Next up: Toriwa fucking dies

... that stolen plotlines thing feels like a revelation pulled straight out the ass. Why does he even do that? I fail to see how this even benefitted him... like maybe you get a better final product if you combine a good plotline with good drawings, but surely you just could... make two people involved in the creation of the manga (like he actually suggested in his initial excuse)? How is this even worth it, a decent risk of getting found out for relatively little payoff?

That guy is not an evil mastermind, he's just a dumbass.

I hope he'll rest in pieces

Well, I can certainly see how it would look better to be the editor of one brilliant author doing everything one their own instead of an artist combined with multiple writers for their various stories.

But yeah, dumbass he is.

BREAK HIS ARM. I'm feeling kind of bloodthirsty today.
