He does not seem to fit a profile of a pedophile
he was married, and none of his works were leaning THAT way but maybe that's how real pedophiles act don't do anything that draws attention to your deviancy I'm just sad that this happened just as RK was getting continuation and I'm also sad because it's not Yamakan, who is a total creeper and probably deserved it more |

I'm never that big on continuing the story of the manga anyway. Not hating it, just feel indifferent about it.

Here goes every hopes to get and see Jinchuu arc animated, ever. It's kind of sad to see him go on that note after seeing him still struggling to live up to his greatest work.
On the comment about Yamakan: I can understand that his "save anime" and attitude have rubbed people the wrong way, but stating that you'd have preferred Watsuki's skeleton be hidden in Yamakan's closet rather than the mangaka's? Wow stay classy. EDIT This is where I suggest people to read how Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy managed to fool everyone. Last edited by Sheba; 2017-11-22 at 10:26. |

He's sadly never been convicted, but he's a total creeper and has made several comments on twitter admitting to that. Most recently about his misconduct towards a WUG voice actress
Like this one https://twitter.com/RyougaSaotome/st...93242571911169 |

Update: The Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office filed a summary indictment against 47-year-old manga creator Nobuhiro Watsuki (real name Nobuhiro Nishiwaki) for simple possession of child pornography on Tuesday. On the same day, the Tokyo Summary Court ordered Watsuki to pay a fine of 200,000 yen (about US$1,900).

I couldn't care a bit about what happened to Watsuki. The Japanese legal system has decided that Watsuki's offense doesn't even warrant the maximum fine, and nobody can complain about that because their country's legal system is just different compared to Japan's.
The verdict is done.

Even if he got away with almost nothing by order of the court, I wouldn't be surprised if Watsuki's bosses end up dropping him for the sake of the company's public image.
Still, what he did already sealed his fate as a dirty, sick, dumb, and fucked-up human being. |

That didn't really ruin Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro (Toriko mangaka), even his offense is much worse in comparison (child prostitution).
