The announcement of an animated
adaptation usually brings joy to fans, but for some creators it also
means becoming the target of absurd smears. Nene Azuki, the
acclaimed author of the manga Mii-chan and Yamada-san (Mii-chan
to Yamada-san), issued an official statement to stop the wave of
misinformation that began to circulate on social networks about
her private life after the jump of her work to television was confirmed.

Azuki directly addressed the theories that
connected her to an account called Diana, clarifying that they are two
completely different people. The cartoonist explained that until February 2024
she only accepted illustration commissions for that account, working strictly
from scripts created and managed by third parties. Azuki never had control over
the narrative, the management of the profile or the published texts, completely
distancing himself from the content of those stories.
False accusations about night work
The mangaka also categorically denied
allegations that she had worked as hostesses, provided paid dating services or
recruited staff for the adult entertainment industry. Azuki remarked that the
experiences portrayed in her story do not correspond to her personal life and
that she is solely creatively responsible for both the script and the art of
her editorial success. Released in 2024 through Kodansha's Magazine Pocket
platform, the manga follows two young men who work in a Shinjuku nightclub
during 2012, accumulating millions of copies sold in the community and
preparing its anime premiere for 2027.
Whereas the enormous popularity of a work often causes malicious people to make up stories to damage the reputation of the authors
