Act-Age Readers Share Bittersweet Farewell to Manga Following Writer's Arrest
Act-Age was one of the rising series at Shonen Jump, but it has since be relegated to something [...]
A Hard Break
prevnextDue to the author's questionable actions against minors, Shonen Jump has officially announced the cancellation of the Act-Age manga.
This is so disappointing, especially since Act-Age was an incredibly unique and beautifully written story.

I feel so bad for the illustrator, man. https://t.co/SXk5tac04l
A Silver Lining
prevnextIt's awesome that the Jump editorial voiced support for Shiro Usazaki in the very same press release they cancelled "Act-age. I think it's a heartwarming sign they are immediately expressing the desire to create new manga works with her. It's a great notice for the fans too.

A Strong Take
prevnextAlso just saw what happened w the act-age mangaka and JEEZ it’s such a messed up situation, I hope all the victims are okay, and I hope the artist hasn’t been receiving any harassment over this instead of support. Also f-ck the mangaka I hope he’s in jail

Perspective is Good
prevnextSome of y’all acting more hurt about Act-Age being potentially cancelled than the fact that a girl has allegedly been harassed.
I love the manga with all my heart but like,
Priorities here.

A Solid Vow
prevnextI'm glad that author is getting arrested and pray to God he never works in Manga again. I'm hoping the artist that worked on act-age is able to find success again and hopefully not with a freak attached this time. Most of all I hope the victim gets the justice she deserves

A Hard Truth
prevF-ck man. It's one of my favorite ongoing series. And those who are saying give it a read, separate author from it's work, honestly don't bother. The story is great but incomplete and that's the worst feeling ever especially when you are following it for a while now.
