The doujinshi “Zikux” featuring Machu sparkling at the House of Cavus is currently out of stock. Melonbooks Sendai Store.
This is Melonbooks Co., Ltd. Today, we confirmed that there was inappropriate communication at the Melonbooks Sendai store post. We sincerely apologize for causing discomfort and inconvenience to everyone due to an inconsiderate tweet that lacked awareness and sensitivity. We deeply reflect on this matter and will strictly caution against recurrence, as well as re-educate all employees on compliance. We sincerely apologize for the trouble caused this time.
It was posted for one day only.
It is natural.
Isn’t the Sendai store a fishy place?
Is it no good~~?
I wish I had made eye contact.
The title was kept secret, but it didn’t work out.
It’s no good…
>>6I was doing Acha-moro with Hi.
The clerk is good at expressing the texture of the nightgown.
Get angry.
I was scolded.
I knew it.
Where did you get scolded from?
>>9The upper Machu is already gone, but that reply section there… maybe?
I want them to keep drawing POP because I like their style to some extent.
>>10I want you to work hard and explore the limits.

Is it not allowed to draw erotic second-hand creation POP even though it’s a shop selling erotic second-hand creation doujinshi!?
>>13In the first place, secondary creations are inherently a gray area, so if they bother the rights holders, it’s only natural that they’ll be dealt with.
>>19Well, I understand that, but I was surprised that while there’s no sign of being scolded for the erotic Gundam books, the pop ones were not allowed.
>>24Doujin has a pretense of being a hobby, but when stores do it openly…
>>24Even if it’s just on the surface, there’s a difference in meaning between individual fans doing it as a hobby and companies doing it for promotion…
>>30It’s nothing but a baseless lynching, and honestly, it’s crap.
It’s just a list of terms from the original work.
>>15Before the broadcast, I was wondering why it’s a late-night slot! And then it turns out it really is a late-night slot… it’s nice, right?
I can understand why watching the broadcast made you happy and excited.
Isn’t it official canon? Why is it not okay?
>>17Isn’t it true that the official ones haven’t fallen into prostitution either!?
>>42Is that so… maybe it is.
It’s not strictly enforced, but just in case, there are guidelines from Sunrise, or rather Bandai Namco, that prohibit the online use of secondary creations.
Sendai has become difficult to live in…
Just do some original work and draw some POP again.
I’ll go see it.
It’s great to see you working happily.
Create a dummy circle and just make that book at the retail store.
It’s so hot that I might as well save it…
>>29I’m also an old-school otaku, so just the fact that it’s analog drawing with Copics really resonates with me…
Is it not okay for the store to promote?
It’s fine if we’re walking on the edge, aware that we’re doing something gray.
Don’t show an attitude that acts without shame.
Did I need outlines for the eyes and a hidden name…?
At a sales event, fans can pretend not to see the drawings they made, but when a company displays them in-store and they get posted on open social media, they can’t pretend not to see it…
It’s more like, don’t use our characters for your business just because it’s erotic.
Moreover, it’s pushed to the forefront with erotic elements.
I don’t draw doujinshi, so I don’t know the detailed rules, but are there rules like not being allowed to create derivative works of ongoing series?
>>36There is a rule that you must not upload it to the internet, just in case.
I can get angry whenever I want to.


Sure, here are the extracted characters: “` BANDAI NAMCO Fun for All into the Future “Continuing to create good things” We create “Awesome works” Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc. “`
>>53Oh… just looking at this is enough for three outs in commercial use, internet publication, and derivative works…
I thought you would let me know first when the stock arrives at this store…
It would become something done by a company, not an individual.
I should have done the censorship for all the words and aimed for a clean-out with the gaze after all.
It’s a gill-out, so it’s out.
It’s suitable for the milk type of that coupon! I think it’s also pushing the limits quite a bit.
Is it okay if I use lines?
I was surprised that this was completed in just a day or two after the broadcast.
Isn’t your writing fast?
There is nothing to be scolded about.
When the painful store POPs at Yodo and similar places have different vectors, this is what happens.
I felt happy because it reminded me of my hometown.
Is it called Copic coloring?
I like touch.
The reason I was overlooked was because I wore regular clothes and had a pop vibe suitable for all ages, but of course, anything erotic is quite strict.
That’s skillful…
You were working as a store clerk, right?!
I hope this uproar doesn’t lead to a reluctance to handle books with the same theme.
Using characters without permission for promotion, even if it’s not a doujinshi, is technically against the rules.
If the people who saw this took pictures and it became a topic of discussion, I probably wouldn’t have gotten in trouble.
Since it has spread… right…?
POP is often overlooked if there is love, but it’s understandable if the thread image is seen as lacking love.
Why is that!!
In the plastic model section, I occasionally see hand-drawn POP signs, but ero is indeed something else.
I’m also avoiding direct references as the person in charge, and I feel love from it, so I’m wondering if it might just be okay…
It was no good.
I think it’s beyond the line to post it on the store’s official account.
>>62It’s your own fault!
>>62If it hadn’t been on the official site, it might have just barely been safe.
How about hiding all the words in the work with one character and masking the gaze?
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Hail Sexus! Hail Sexus!
It’s too much of a complete nutritional meal…
If it’s being overlooked, it’s gray, but if it’s against the official guidelines, isn’t it already full black?
I understand the feeling of wanting to share it once you’ve drawn it.
The Sendai store is dead! Why?!
What if a store clerk reposts something while pretending to be an ordinary person…?
>>75The store gets scolded, so the outcome is the same…
Don’t you even realize that you’re gray?
It doesn’t exist…
I understand the desire to jump on it in a timely manner.
Well, that’s a no-go.
When it came around
Ah, I thought this kind of thing was okay.
It wasn’t acceptable at all.
If you write the title of the work and the character’s name, you won’t be able to escape it, you know!
Since long ago, events like sales fairs have treated Sunrise works with special consideration, such as hiding the titles.
Since nothing has been received yet, it’s just a totally playful display by the staff.
There are guidelines, but in reality, they are not cracking down on what individuals are doing.
In other words, there is probably no intention to regulate.
If a company does it for profit purposes.
It’s become a rule that it’s not allowed to sell, so the store’s appeal is not good.
Doujin is a hobby activity that, in principle, does not generate profit…
If a for-profit company uses it in stores, it would normally be out.
It’s not a promotion, it’s because it hasn’t arrived yet.
>>87Since the store name is included, it’s an advertisement for the store, right?
Actually, it’s not allowed to upload art to the internet individually, you know, Gundam.
The fact that they’re operating a store and making money by retailing doujinshi is already a no-go, but that has been overlooked.
As it becomes more and more careless and such cases increase, eventually something will break and everything will be dealt with.
If it was Membooks, it would have been safe.
I need to consider the meaning of it being distribution instead of sales…
>>92Well, that might not be so relevant…
At Comiket, the distinction between distribution and sales is often used loosely.
Fans drawing manga is something that is generally overlooked or tolerated.
Only for the pussy.
That being said, it is a great shame to throw this away in just one day.
I was planning to go see it around the weekend.
Will the clerk who drew this get fired and end up drawing a hooker-themed manga…?
Why don’t they understand that human trafficking is a sensitive topic even in fiction?
No matter what the material is, saying “I’m going to use your character without permission to promote my store!” is really out of line.
I want someone from the neighborhood to go there and ask, “Is that there?”
If companies are saying not to use it, then the act of distributing it outside of events in the first place feels quite questionable…
>>100Even pachinko parlors don’t engage in direct monetary transactions.
>>100It’s just a temporary exemption, so there’s always a possibility of being scolded by the publisher.
It’s fine to sell at the event, but there are some places that have guidelines prohibiting consignment.
It’s a corporate account, after all…
It’s only allowed because individuals are doing it for fun, but if employees of a company create something during working hours and display it in the store, that becomes a profit-making activity.
The person who drew this should draw a lewd book about Machi!!
It might be fine to go on as an underground shop that is prepared to be scolded, but this place is not that kind of place.
Machu is small, but she has quite a bit of breasts and looks incredibly cute, so she’s sexy.
I wondered why doujin shops are suddenly being so cautious, but I guess it’s different once it’s posted online.
>>109There is a difference between what a store does officially and what an individual does as a hobby.
Is this not okay?
If it’s M〇yu, it would be forgiven.
>>111Type-Moon says things like that.
I like hand-drawn POP signs like this!
Why can you already draw the doujin of the story that aired on Tuesday?
>>113Illiterate?
There are quite a few cases where handwritten pop that isn’t erotic is overlooked.
Erotica is really bad.
If a company that is profiting from fan creations gets too carried away, this is what happens.
I haven’t drawn any nipples or genitals and I’ve only described it as sparkling, so why…
But I really want the book about Machu doing something at the brothel…
The guidelines for Sunrise are much stricter than those for Uma Musume.
When it comes to individuals, things can be lenient, but if it’s a company, they have no choice but to take action.
Based on the apology letter, it only seems to state that it is inappropriate, but is it a matter of rights?
>>121Rephrasing “I self-regulated because there is a high possibility of being reprimanded for rights.”
>>125No, that’s just a delusion…
>>128They are talking about compliance.
The one who gets in trouble from being told no is Melob, so it’s only natural for the higher-ups to get angry.
If I had stumbled upon it by chance on a personal account, it might have been forgivable.
Yeah… that’s all I can say.
It’s tough for the color side around here as well, just like Sunrise.
I don’t really get it, but basically, did someone unknown to you on the internet criticize you?
It feels like it’s being widely received and promoted as “Forbidden doujinshi! Is it really not allowed?!!”
It’s damn cold; as expected, Sendai is in the north.
>>127Don’t write three lines when you don’t understand.
Well done! I got so excited that I ended up posting it officially! I guess that happened on site…
Companies must carefully consult with the publisher to ensure that they use materials that can be used without any issues for promotions.
A person whose brain has been burned by a brothel, Osugi!
Old doujin shops were full of hand-drawn signs that looked a lot like someone else’s work.
The possibility of a doujin maker getting scolded by the rights holder for a single pop that is ignored by the rights holder is less likely than…
It feels more likely that they pulled it down due to complaints from the public about using the subject of becoming a prostitute as a joke, as it seemed bothersome.
Why is it that so many anonymous users are talking as if Sunrise is angry?
Was there any other announcement?
>>135I feel like there might be something there since there were quite a few people who were interested in that direction.
>>135It’s a thread where an idiot, while being vague about the subject of action, imagines and talks about who did it based on their own misconceptions.
I think the best kindness is to laugh at them.
“Before getting completely cut off, I thought it would be something like, ‘I taught our fool a lesson, he he… I look forward to your continued support, sir…'”
I wonder if the part-timer got excited and made a pop (song).
It’s quite heartwarming that you can get that excited.
>>138If they hadn’t posted it online officially, it would have been fine.
I don’t even know whether I stopped because I was scolded or if I stopped before getting scolded; either possibility exists.
There is a phrase that best captures the stance of companies when doing such things.
Is this okay? That’s a no-go.
If a company does it, it’s definitely a no-go.
This meaty texture is nice.
If we raise it officially and get scolded by Sunrise, it will damage Melob as a whole…
It’s well drawn, so I should have uploaded it to a site like Sibu instead.
Was there a scheduled arrival?
When taken literally, consideration and awareness are more related to issues between companies rather than…
Isn’t this about a protest regarding the content of the expression?
If I were to say that I’m writing this to cover that up, then I can only say that you wouldn’t understand anything at that point.
>>149Wow, this person is thinking, “If it’s written this much, surely something appropriate must have happened,” even though the basis of the story is uncertain.
You seem really easy to deceive.
>>153?
I see…
Opinions are divided even among anonymous users, huh…
Do you want to raise it or lower it? Which is it?
Whoa (super cold)
Outside, outside.
There was something like this at pop! It’s not the customers promoting it, but the staff themselves spreading it through the official account, well…
>>158Did you raise it yourself…?
Well, if you don’t respond, there’s nothing you can do.
In short, if the site is getting carried away…
The only thing is that headquarters warned me, “Don’t get too cocky just because of your store’s name, you countryside folks from Tohoku.”
I feel like there was quite a bit of controversy even when customers were spreading it, but now I can’t really say for sure.
The Earth Federation must be angry about this.
I was reminded of the group that gathered in front of the station with a can of beer in hand during Halloween and got caught by the police.
As a fellow citizen, I am embarrassed.
When I see a family member getting carried away and scolded, it makes me feel unbearable.
Not family, but…
If you hadn’t posted, there wouldn’t have been a problem, right?
>>164Hmm…
It’s not some boring insider joke of high school and university otaku circles.
Stop it, manager.
The more I listen, the more it just seems like the strange behavior of an otaku boy who mistakenly thinks he’s interesting.
Tough
It’s a discussion about how companies shouldn’t publicly post things like this.
>>168Cynical smile
A response from a twisted otaku who can no longer enjoy things.
A nameless person who usually plagiarizes without permission and steals art styles with AI illustrations.
I want you to be aware that you are not in a position to say anything arrogant.
>>170Thank you for the self-introduction.
>>170It’s a response that clearly shows what kind of person the idiot who is rubbing Nogizaka is.
I get scolded for things like this…
Melob’s employee training is not adequate.
What is inappropriate about a high school girl being a prostitute?
>>176Tell me where the appropriateness is in those six letters!
Isn’t this a perfect out?!
Isn’t it too good? Can an anonymous person draw this with paper and pen?
>>183I could draw it in the old days.
It takes time to remember how to use Copics now…
It’s a nostalgic art material.
Upon further reflection, although doujinshi for secondary creation technically receive money as printing costs and claim to not be for profit, I wonder what kind of justification commission shops have for taking a margin.
By the way, can you draw? I said that, but I can’t draw at the level of the thread images without 3D models, undo/redos, stabilization, and layers!!
>>186Analog is great! It takes time to get used to, though.
When I participate in events like sales, I draw in sketchbooks.
It’s fun to draw the colored paper to be used for the after-party.
In addition to this, it was interesting to see various things like the mysterious Mito clicking a gun.
Isn’t it too late to say that after selling erotic doujin?
Was it Toranoana that boldly said they sell doujinshi in a TV commercial?
If things go badly, all doujinshi might really be in trouble; seriously, that’s just dumb.
You’re good at drawing.
There used to be something called “San ban” back in the day… (The old tales of a doujin BBA)
>>194Where did you come from…?
>>199Animan
>>201Please take it back…
Is this vibe not allowed at the erotic doujin shop?
The person who drew the POP seems to be really good at drawing, like they do doujinshi.
>>195If it was just available in-store without promotion on official social media, it might have been manageable…
You shouldn’t do it in tough places like Sunrise.
I’m sorry, Sunrise-san, for being at the edge like this!! If I write it like that.
Aren’t you allowed?
The idea that “syrizes” are strict is completely just a facade.
I was releasing doujin with staff on Mercury.
>>200That’s not available for consignment, even at the venue, right?
>>204So the argument is that the pretense of banning secondary creations has basically died out.
>>209It seems that many people interpret it as being prohibited “on the internet” but tacitly allowed offline.
Well, either way, those who post on company accounts are idiots.
>>221I don’t really understand what you’re saying…
>>222If you at least read the official website.
About the novels and illustrations I created myself.You may not use novels or illustrations you have created based on our works on the internet unless you have obtained permission from us.
The responsible staff who wrote this should shine at the Cabas mansion.
Well, I thought maybe you’re a bit too excited, aren’t you?
>>205I understand the feeling of wanting to have fun.
Was the one listed in the table bad?
