In September 2019, the author Morishige announced
through his official Twitter account the immediate cancellation of the manga
“ Oshikake
Maid no Shirayuki-san ( Stalker Maid Shirayuki )”,
which he had published since May 2018. The work had already gone on hiatus
since a month before, and Morishige explained the circumstances behind the
cancellation of this beloved manga, which to this day still hurts in
the memory of fans.
To begin, Morishige explained that he was not an author,
but rather a creative duo consisting of a husband and wife . According
to the explanation provided by the husband's statement, the couple shared
responsibility for their various works, with the wife in charge of coloring,
the tone of the work and offering suggestions for the manga in question, while
the husband was in charge of the meetings. and commercial affairs with the
publishing house Akita Shoten.
The problem arose when, starting in March 2019, the wife
began posting information on Twitter that, according to the husband, “was not
based on reality” about the editorial department for which they and other
writers worked, using three different accounts. Despite the husband's
attempts to explain to the editorial department that it was his wife who wrote
the tweets, he was unable to stop his actions. Finally, the husband
decided to end the “Oshikake Maid no Shirayuki-san” manga.
The situation caused the couple to now live with “some
distance” between them. The husband expressed that he felt responsible
for allowing his wife to use the official Twitter account for her own purposes
while she continued to make inflammatory statements. It is important
to note that, unfortunately, one of the members of the creative duo died in
July 2020, ruling out any possibility of resumption of the work.
“Oshikake Maid no Shirayuki-san” followed the story of
Youichirou Tenkoku and his younger brother, who lived with their father and
grew up without their mother. When his father has to go abroad for work, he
calls a maid named Shirayuki to take care of the house. Morishige launched the
manga in the magazine Bessatsu Shonen Champion in May 2018 and only published a
total of two volumes. As mentioned, after the death of one of the
members (it is unknown whether it was the husband or wife) in July 2020, there
is no longer any chance that the manga will ever return.
