You're looking at it from the perspective as someone who can't separate the art from the artist (or in this case writer). Don't speak on behalf of international fans so not everyone would hate this. I honestly don't want to get back in this discussion since we've beaten it to death when the Watsuki scandal arrived. We all have our own perspectives on this matter and some twitter outrage is not representative on people's views.
Yes all people are disgusted by sex offenders but she clearly poured her heart and soul into drawing the series so she may be willing to overlook that. Have you considered that? She may or may not want to work with Matsuki, no one knows until the time comes. Btw it was only a what if scenario (or my hopes) on the matter, not my assumption of her.
I think it’s safe to assume that internationally, and especially Americans, supporting a a sex offender who has harmed children is universally frowned up. I don’t need to speak for other people, or put words in people’s mouths, to know that most ppl would hate him returning and gaining support.
History has already shown us that the vast majority of people don’t like rapist, child molesters, and pedophiles to continue getting work and support from big companies. The people who want him to keep working are in a small minority.
And logically I simply think it’s unlikely to get a sequel with both Usazaki and Matsuki working together on Act Age again after it’s presumed cancellation. Since they’re a duo it’s more complicated. Usazaki likely isn’t going to sit around waiting on Matsuki’s bad press to die down(and this is also assuming he doesnt get a large jail sentence that could potentially be up to 10 Years)
I believe she’s talented enough with a distinct enough style that she’ll most definitely have another success. Assuming she has a long running successful series I doubt she, or anyone is even going to care about the Act-Age continuation in 10-12 years when she’s free to work again.
And again, that’s assuming she even
wants to work with him again. I’m not trying to pretend I know her. I’m basing this on the general consensus that the average person doesn’t want to start/continue a partnership with a convicted child molester; especially a woman. This isn’t me basing this on personal bias, but the fact that 9/10 people legitimately don’t like associating with those ppl. This on top of the rumors that they may not even get along to begin with( rumors are rumors, but as silly as it sounds, two colleagues un-friending each other on social media is a legitimate sign of bad blood in this age of social media)
