The following is what is known about Yabuki's divorce for those who wants the details :-

- Wife goes by the name of Shiho Kashiwagi. Well known as an artist on Nico Nico as "Ume". She moves from Fukuka to Tokyo in 2001 and became Yabuki's assistance when he was still doing Blackcat. She was quite good and became Yabuki's head assistant in charge of colourings.

-They soon got romantic, moved in and got married. The daughter was born in 2006.

- But after the birth, Shiho hardly did any house work, neglected her daughter, and spent most of her days in front of a computer spending time in Nico Nico etc.

-She met a Nakamura Ine who is quite famous on the Nico Nico website as a guitarist, who turned out to be a minor (last year in high school). Things starts to get real messy.

- January 2009, when Yabuki was sick with flu and bedridden, she kidnapped her own daughter and disappeared, and it turned out that she left her daughter at her parents' place while she was doing this and that with Ine.

- February 2009, Yabuki 'begged' Shiho to return for the sake of their daughter, and Shiho did return to Tokyo, but few days later she dropped out once again with the girl, this time taking a notebook computer and Yabuki's credit cards. Yabuki later stopped the cards, but a large sum of money was already taken out.

- Yabuki looked for them everywhere, but to no avail. March 2009, Shiho demanded a divorce on the grounds of personality clash and a large chunk of Yabuki's assets, but when the evidence of her infidelity was discovered on her computer, she then changed her stance and demanded money in exchange for the custody right of the daughter.

- Realizing it would take over a year to settle things, Yabuki accepted her conditions and got the daughter back.

- Haruna Sairenji was based on Kashiwagi Shiho, and there is a reason why her role was reduced dramatically since volume 13, and Yui getting more prominent. And apparently Shiho has sued/demanded more money for the character of Haruna recently.

- A comment of Yabuki's while this was all happening:
[While I was working hard on a manga that was focused on taking young girls' panties off, another man was taking my wife's panties off.]

- I forgot to mention that following the dispute over Haruna's character right, Yabuki feared his daughter getting hurt by all the debacle, so he accepted Shiho's demand yet again and ended the series prematurely.
