|
In addition to Kodansha's apology released on October 19th, the editorial staff of Bessatsu Friend has issued a seperate statement of apology to their website as of October 21st. The language is somewhat similar to the original with a few new details directly from the publisher which have allready been repoted in the Japanese press. Most noteable is the admission that the publisher believes her currently running serial Silver did contain "appropriations": "When Suetsugu Yuki was appropriating from works such as "Slam Dunk" and "Real" the areas were pointed out and received from the reader. Many of these facts are confirmed, and Yuki also admitted much of this while the details are investigated. This has already been reported by the newspaper and TV, etc. The editorial department took the measures of stopping the shipment and discontinuation of all of Setsugu's works at the end. Moreover, it becomes clear that "Silver" under serial to Besatsu Friend has use of appropriations and it will not be carried from the December edition (sale on November 12th). The series "Your Black Wings" will also discontinue publishing from the January edition (sale on November 28). The editorial department apologizes for catching this situation heavily, for causing deep reflection, and troubling you the reader and parties concerned. The magazine will go forward making an effort further so that this should never happen again, and it asks for love and trust by the readersin the future. October 21, 2005 Bessatsu Friend Editorial Department" "Apology From Author I am really sorry for inviting such a situation this time. The act he mistook for the sweetness of recognition when protecting copyright is defended seriously, it catches deeply shamefully as cartoonist, and I apologize to the copyright people and everybody of parties concerned with heartfelt sincerity. You, the readers who were looking forward to the work in the middle of a series, and you who had liked Yuki Suetsugu's work do not have to carry out an apology very sorry, either. I regaze at a step and want to examine myself deeply. It felt sorry truly. October 21, 2005 Tsuetsugu Yuki At The End" |
