The issue of leaks
has always been something to talk about. While some see no problem in
finding out beforehand the upcoming events of his favorite manga, others point
out that this completely ruins the surprise that the author had prepared for
his work. After all, not the entire chapter is filtered, but only the
most relevant moment of it, which, in effect, reduces the impact that the
author hoped to deliver.
There are many ways
for the author and viewers to avoid this type of content. In the case
of the author, the quickest option is that of Tatsuki Fujimoto with “Chainsaw
Man”, that is, moving the manga completely to the digital medium. Because
there is no way for something digital to “go to print first,” then there is no
way to leak content before its scheduled release date.
On the
other hand, fans can avoid leaks by simply not interacting with them. At the
end of the day, what leakers want is presence on social networks, interactions,
“likes” and reposts. If
they notice that they are not achieving this despite offering content of this
nature, they will eventually stop doing so.
Now,
recently arrests have been made of members of popular leaker circles in Japan,
who obtained editions of the magazines of different manga publishers that were
sent in advance to stores in Japan. To
understand this, let's say that the next edition of a magazine comes out on
Monday, March 11, 2024. Then the publishers already have printed editions from
today to send them by mail to the most distant bookstores in Japan so that the
launch is done the same. day everywhere. This is how leakers manage to filter
content, getting some of these printed editions.
Anyway, there is a
lot of fabric to cut from on the subject of leaks, but the official Twitter
account of “ Jujutsu
Kaisen ”, one of the most important works today and also one of
the most affected by this, surprised with a publication where he asked
that the leaks of the manga stop :
- « We will announce more
information about the exhibition in issue 15 of Weekly Shonen Jump, on
sale Monday, March 11. Please check it out! We ask for your collaboration
to prevent the dissemination of illegally uploaded information as “leaks”
before the release date .
It is not the first
time that an official account has called for the leaks to stop, but it is
certainly a rarely seen event. In fact, the last franchise that had openly
asked for this was “ Shingeki no Kyojin ( Attack on
Titan )” a few years ago during its final stretch. After all,
despite the arrests against members of the “@Go_Jover” group, the account is
still active and will reveal the leaks of the next chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen”
tonight, what can be done then?
