It is 32,300 doubloons!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Was this rejected?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I really laughed when I posted that poem about the town at dusk.

That is the most dangerous one, right?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m keeping it submerged below the surface so it won’t be rejected.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx39

Isn’t it because it hasn’t been rejected?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx26

There’s a term called self-regulation.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx18

Isn’t it that the problem is with Kinpachi and not the art style?

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

>>6

Because the right to one’s own image is stronger than copyright…

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Regardless of the illustration, isn’t Tetsuya Takeda a no-go?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

Not only the design but even the ideas are completely obvious with this guy.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I wonder why “Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku,” which features Koizumi and Kim Jong-il, has been turned into an anime.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

The right of publicity for politicians is extremely restricted.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s from Take Shobo, after all.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx38

Even though it was legally acceptable, the decision not to sell it as a standalone book due to concerns about trust was a bold one.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>11

Take Shobo also had brakes on it…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who was it that said no one was allowed?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The answer is that it hasn’t become a comic.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

I like this because it doesn’t consider the possibility that Kinpachi was out.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s obvious that some kind of trouble will arise at least when we publish a collection.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>15

That’s something that should be made to work before being posted on that rational site, right?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

Unlike a paperback, it might be safe because it can’t be permanently published.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>16

The damage is different between recalling a standalone book and withdrawing web publication, so I’m doing it all rationally with full understanding.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Not losing even if sued.

Whether we can continue to do business smoothly in the publishing industry in the future depends on…

It’s a separate issue.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

The editorial department can surely be read at any time…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Self-regulation is necessary to avoid problems that arise if a gray area is deemed black.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think there is respect for the original, though…

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>21

The episode of “Shura no Mon” was amazing.

Everything is the same, from the demon powder to the font to the way sound effects are written.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Unable to obtain royalties from the paperback.

Being serialized is just tough.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

>>22

The fact that it seems like it would sell well only adds to the sadness.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

Just being able to see it briefly on the web was pretty close.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was making the composition look somewhat like that, so yeah…

I wonder why they gave the go-ahead.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was the pinnacle of the underground in modern times.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not just about the design.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

The author found meaning in being able to take on the position of an Itako manga artist.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>30

I started a job that won’t make money but will lead to something next.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Well, the fact that the manga artist in the thread received a reverse offer and is still working normally means it was probably fine.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It seems like they’re seriously opposing AI.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Well, it was incredibly effective as a sales manga…

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doujinshi featured in a magazine.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I hate to say it, but if it were worse, there probably wouldn’t have been any problems.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was lucky to be able to catch up with all the episodes that were released.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s terrifying that it’s not a trace but a proper copy done from scratch.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>37

It was verified that it was a trace! But there were slight misalignments, overlapping didn’t occur, and additional parts that weren’t originally there were drawn, which is a terrifying waste of technology.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remembered a manga where they make replicas of tough characters.

It’s like writing in imitation of the soul.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought Cooking Papa’s Seven Pairs Course was a lie for a while.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

What people are talking about in the streets is ultimately just about the vibe, and it’s a conversation that ends with the realization that strict regulations regarding art styles are impossible.

The thread image is already impossible since it’s a parody of the original.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The teacher who laughs and forgives.

Because there are teachers who don’t understand…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Perfectly copying even the quirks of typesetting in each magazine is the behavior of a madman.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Can’t you read it now?

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I had only parodied the ones who would laugh and forgive me, there might have been a different future.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

There is no copyright on the design.

…if the composition and characters are similar, it can be judged by law, so that article continues.

I think this manga can be done if you try, as it is drawn with the same composition and characters as the original.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s not just about the art style; they are clearly bringing in characters as well…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m sorry, Mr. XX!

If I write it outside the box…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I heard that only the files are left.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Starting today, City Hunter is already at volume 16…

As a result, the author was able to secure a good serialization, so there was meaning in this as well.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked Spriggan the most.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I feel like Takeda Tetsuya would seriously be mad more than a manga parody.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>53

It’s more dangerous to use the character of a celebrity model than to do a manga parody, especially if the otaku isn’t making a fuss about it.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

Mocking celebrities is dangerous.

It’s an unreserved opinion.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s legally safe, it will affect the future of the publisher…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it was a problem, it was a matter of righteousness and not something that could be sued under copyright.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

This led to my work as a City Hunter, you know.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

The 16th volume of the City Hunter spin-off is out too!

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There are probably some people who seriously think it’s strange to be angry since it’s allowed by law.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Should I start by explaining that rules and manners are separate issues?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

Since the results are already known due to the author and publisher being identified, no explanation is necessary.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s basic, but everything follows the original in terms of line thickness.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

Musk is a semi-regular character, after all…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were various good parodies, but Air Master was great.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

No matter how many times I see it, it's terrible.

No matter how many times I see it, it’s terrible.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>67

In short, aren’t you peeking at this?

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

They say you can earn money if you put it out there, but it’s someone else’s funds, so that’s understandable.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

The flower of Eden, which was tracing Slam Dunk, is now out of print and being recalled, so if any of the authors who imitated it get angry, I don’t think it would be good in various ways.

Both in terms of rules and ethics.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Chunsoft was allowed, this should be fine too.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

If we can’t charge for it, then it’s fine to distribute it for free, right?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

If you’re thinking of completely abandoning all your legitimate work starting with City Hunter…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

There are limits.

I’ve reached my limit.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

A work that I wish I had saved when it was publicly available for free on the web in the past.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Properly dancing in the powder of chaos.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even now, if you pour your feelings into a URL about which episode and which page you want to see, you can read it.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nausicaä is being careful and maintaining it just as it is up to the frame.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was just after this tweet that the publication was suspended (but it still remains online).

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

To be honest, it’s exactly the same as the character, so it’s a copyright issue.

I’m planning to withdraw if I get yelled at, and I’m making some sort of excuse for the magazine being a one-time thing, which creates a balance.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you have a certain level of skill, you can do tracing, but what’s important as a writer is to establish your own style, that’s what people often say.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Kuzufurai was also angry.

I was happy when the parody AV of “The Solitary Gourmet” was released.

I don’t understand the meaning.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Is that really a thing!?

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Aren’t you drunk?

I’m doing things like being a food strategist and Tamari Seven.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being at the bottom tier of mahjong manga in modern mahjong acts as a camouflage to deceive people’s eyes.

…It was discovered.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since they were directly using the development of the manga and applying it to mahjong, it’s not just a matter of the art style.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

If this manga is bad, it’s not just about the art style, nor just about copyright issues.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the latest work of Rurouni Kenshin good as of now?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

Rurouni Kenshin → Hokuto → Final Episode

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love the Spriggan episode, it’s really bad.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t a regular doujinshi fine?

I think it’s better to seal the manuscripts I’ve posted so far.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Perhaps respect should be something that is communicated internally or expressed through such actions…?

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s like I’ve been connected to CH’s work or maybe I’ve been put on a leash…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>93

It’s nice to realize the love for the original work when in every parody, only in that episode, Yhata was intentionally allowed to win, and Ryo was still a step ahead.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was impossible.

Of course, Class 3-8, Yatasaki / Chapter 59 / The End, Next issue comes out on July 1st!! Until death, huh. Betting on “Immediate Glory”… I see… Ippachi, from now on, as long as you live with Riku until the popularity of mahjong declines, I want this serialization to continue until death…

It was impossible.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t Keybo’s name Reach?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the past, when we featured characters from other creators, we used to write things like “Thank you, ○○ Sensei!” outside the panels.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

We usually go out for drinks around that area, so we have that kind of relationship…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

That said, most issues that arise with the same magazine tend to be internal matters.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>97

It’s really Kekkou Kamen by Go Nagai.

A work that was made possible by that author in that era.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>97

I’m sorry, Mr. Kinpachi!

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I was genuinely astonished when I saw an anonymous person seriously saying it’s safe because it’s not trace copying.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>98

Honestly, if you properly verify it, I think it’s tracing something somewhere…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand it’s not reasonable, but…

There are also demons who say, “Don’t be so stingy about a mere gag manga!”

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

This isn’t a story that changes depending on whether it’s a joke or not.

It may rather be perceived as mockery and seen as more malicious.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like both the mountain round and the tiger round, both in terms of content and story.

Especially the fact that Satori has survived is beyond 120 points as a fan creation…

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Makuhari was really disliked, but it seems that the popular king was liked…

Kita probably didn’t have any manners.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

You can understand that by reading the afterword of “Kenka Shoubai.”

In fact, it seems to be like that.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have confirmed that the pieces in Light Yagami’s plan are not a double.

The line of the hair is completely different and it’s just a copy.

I don’t know who said it was safe, but…

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Oyabantsumorash is just too delicious.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>109

In the end, what’s most impressive about this work is the strength of the storytelling rather than the art style emulation…

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think there are parts where the fact that it is a hazardous material that won’t become a standalone book adds a point of interest.

111: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Just because you have respect doesn’t mean you can do anything you want…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I find it in a magazine and it’s being sold, I need to make sure to warn them, or it could be problematic…

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

was

The pain is intense! The modifications are just too good, right?

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even if it’s not legally prohibited, I can still choose not to do business with you.

117: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

This isn’t just the illustration; it’s the manga itself.

It’s a published work, not just secondary creation.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When I started updating the website weekly, I thought, “Oh no, this guy is going to die.”

I died.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing how well someone like Nibei can imitate it.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I’d be happy if the author shares it after retiring as a manga artist someday.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Courageous Day

Ki-bon

That person

!!’s

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I like the first type of tenpai unexpected tile shape.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>122

A round where you can definitely feel the sense of the Toa Heavy Industry’s Mahjong tiles.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

“Challenging a Riichi with a heavy national champion hand.”

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s clear that they are choosing their opponents carefully, given that they don’t get involved with things like Saint Seiya, Captain Tsubasa, or Galaxy Express.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

Well then, I have to catch the train.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Even though ‘The Night Has a Thousand Eyes’ can be published…”

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>125

I think the biggest bottleneck with this is Tetsuya Takeda…

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

City Hunter and Fist of the North Star

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I love Rii-bou’s simple yet wonderful naming.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>127

It’s too unreasonable to imitate the Toho style…!!

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like it was written “special one-shot manga” every time.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>128

You never know when you’ll be rejected…

135: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>128

If it’s a special one-shot, it can be used as a reason not to compile it into a volume…

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Rii-bo.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Air Master chapter makes me think that this is what happens when Yokosaru decides to draw Mahjong.

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Manga about mahjong has been filled with parodies since the time of Gywanbura, which is all about self-centeredness.

The high level of drawing skill became a hindrance…

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gaaaah, kuhaaa, it hurts so much!! Ah, it hurts!! Ouch, it’s going to break! Alright, that’s enough! You two, stop it, you idiots! No more than this! Everyone, if you like mahjong, let’s at least follow the manners! Hurting others recklessly with words or violence is a violation of etiquette, both in the mahjong parlor and in society!

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has become a suffocating world for gag manga artists, hasn’t it?

It has become a suffocating world for gag manga artists, hasn't it?

Buwaku, Monkey Demon Teacher, I’m sorry, stupid teacher, for your cheating contact. Gyaa, in the night town, in the valley of the Gaō building, Gaō, flying through the air, Motzunbo~ Hachigorō~~ Yokoyama-sensei, I’m sorry~ Gaogao~~

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a shame that there wasn’t a main episode featuring Ushijima that occasionally appeared.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has the spirit of editing turned to plastic as well…?

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a style that anyone can do, is there any way to manage it?

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Tenpai hand of the national hero’s ready-to-ready is too genius.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how many girls’ tears a man can stop in his lifetime.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oh, the Oyaban Dream Girl Teacher’s Oyaban Tsuma Rush!

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel respect for the way the punchline is delivered; it feels like they are properly making it into a joke, so it manages to stay just on the edge of gray.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if we could get permission from other manga, isn’t the main character the hardest part?

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Master Chipon.

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I definitely think that getting a tsumo rush in the dealer’s turn is the ultimate technique.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a maximum explosive riichi!!!

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Once Lee.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

This person is simply great at drawing.

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t read the original, but I can find out about the topic from an obstetrician-gynecologist’s blog.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews
157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you have permission to post the lyrics, it’s still pretty risky!

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>157

It’s safe because it’s not exactly the same.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

Aren’t you going to release it again under the pretext that it got leaked?

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

Even if there is a leak, it’s a different story for the publisher to do that…

160: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s been leaking here from time to time, hasn’t it?

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

This person is incredibly skilled at portraying and distinguishing various characters from different works all at once in a single story…

163: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can only be grateful to the kind-hearted nameless person who was standing a little while ago.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

Many artists can replicate shapes, but drawing lines is difficult.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, assuming I was angry was a misunderstanding…
