A few hours after the arrest of the writer Tatsuya Matsuki for sexually abusing two minors was announced, it has been reported through social networks and personal blogs that in several bookstores and online stores in Japan, the demand for buying the compilation volumes of the Act-Age manga have increased greatly to the point of exhausting them.
Some think that possibly, during this week, all the physical formats of the manga could be sold out in stores since, in the event of a possible cancellation, the value of these releases could multiply.
Currently, many bookstores in the Japanese country have already taken measures to avoid the possible massive resale of the volumes of the manga, among which we can highlight that only one volume per person will be sold as well as a specific time in which this product will be put on sale .
Act-Age is a manga series written by Tatsuya Matsuki and illustrated by Shiro Usazaki , who began their publication in the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump publisher Shueisha in January 2018. The publishing house published the eleventh volume compilation on 13 May.
Act-Age Synopsis
