Doujin author arrested for indecent manga
NHK news reports that 39 year old doujin author Miyashita Masaya has been arrested by the police in Matsuyama City for distribution of indecent pictures. The reason given by the police for the arrest appears to be that the censorship was not sufficient.
Police suspect that the author has printed a total of 17,000 books between April 2005 and October 2006 and have confiscated 7 titles totalling 6,600 books.
The author is apparently Yasamata Shiyami, a semi-well known artist that worked on a number of games(including EVE) under C’s ware.
Edit: Doujindou has pictures of the covers of Shiyami’s latest doujinshi that was sold in stores in July this year. We can clearly see that there is no “adults only” mark on the cover, which probably contributed to the reason for the arrest.
