Kodansha Pulling Eden No Hana From World Markets
Date: 10/21/2005
ANS has learned Japanese publisher Kodansha has initiated a process of asking it's global license holders to halt publication and removing Yuki Suetsugu's manga from countires outside of Japan. Earlier this week, it was announced 25 of her works sold in Japan were being taken out of print and remaining copies pulled from retailers' shelves. This arose after allegations were confirmed that she stole imagery from the works of Takehiko Inoue. An attempt is being made to halt publication in markets which have not yet began release of Eden No Hana for instance. It is not currently known what will happen to circulating volumes of the book in other markets which already have copies available at retail and in print. The title was sold as early as May 2005 in Europe, by German Random House imprint Heyne and on the Thai market by Bongkoch Comics.
