Tatsuya Matsuki, author of the manga , confessed to his crime of abuse committed against a minor, a sentence of one year and six months was then stipulated, however, the author's defense is still trying to reduce this sentence.
If the defense's request is accepted, Tatsuya will not serve a prison sentence, as long as he maintains good conduct during the period of suspension.
The defendant said in court that he had many worries and anxieties but could not talk about them and became desperate. Furthermore he added that he has a complex with women. He also said that there is no way to apologize for what he did to the victim.
Tatsuya was charged with the second of two indecent acts. The prosecutor's office did not indict Tatsuya for the first incident, which reportedly occurred on June 18 at around 8 p.m. (one hour before the second incident).
The editors of Weekly Shonen Jump announced on August 10 that they have canceled the manga's serialization. The chapter that appeared in this year's combined 36th and 37th edition is the final chapter. Shueisha also ended sales and distribution of the manga's physical and digital volumes.
Tatsuya launched the act-age manga alongside Usazaki in Weekly Shonen Jump in January 2018. The manga was nominated for Kodansha's 43rd Manga of the Year Awards last year.
