Interesting Fact!! I bet you didn't know this

[Darkdro]

Did anyone knows about this? The Creator/Mangaka Of Toriko - Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro

In 2002, he was arrested and convicted of violating child prostitution laws, including paying a 16-year-old girl ¥80,000 to have ***. As a result of the arrest, Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! was cancelled by Weekly Shōnen Jump. Shimabukuro was sentenced to two years in prison, however the sentence was suspended.

In 2004, Shimabukuro returned to manga with a sports/comedy manga, Ring, which continued for 3 volumes (24 chapters)

Who knew this?

How is 16 years old underaged?

Isn't the age of consent in Japan even lower than that?
Anyways it should at least be 16.
And who is that cheap to have *** for 80000 yen?

tbh thats alot of money in that age,not really worth it in exchange for taking it up the ass but if we count that out there are definetly people that would do more for that kind of money

Age of consent in most places (that I know of) is 16.

I think you misundestand,the teenager thing was a response to the question "And who is that cheap to have *** for 80000 yen?"

 

[Torche]

I think it's because of a possible large age difference? Only thing that I can really think of tbh.

OP: Interesting...
