>NTV News 24 reported on Tuesday that the Tokyo District Court found Daisuke Umezu — the real name of author Mamare Touno — guilty of tax evasion on Tuesday.
He couldn't escape the DATABASE after all
People can still publish books from prison though, can't they?
>>140745896
RIP 3rd season ;_;
Why evade taxes if you don't live in a shitty third world country?
>>140745896
>>140745925
There have been musicians who've put out music from inside prison, so maybe
>>140745925
3 years probation and a fine
One less generic Light Novel out there. Nice.
>economic-fiction author
>found guilty of tax evasion
You can't make this shit up.
>the sentence is suspended for three years so he will not serve time if he remains on good behavior
So, S3 soon?
>>140746107
Mamare isn't going to prison so it is a moot point.
>>140746148
Mamare still needs to write 3-4 more volumes, he is working on volume 12 now.
>>140746003
It's possible that someone other than Mamare failed to follow up on their paperwork. Did he leave it to someone else?
>>140745896
>guilty of tax evasion
Again?
>>140746247
It didn't go according to keikaku
>>140746247
its the same event, news is just slow
no longer in the database
>>140745896
>Sao got more episodes than this masterpiece
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
WHOS THE REAL SUCKER NOW
Meanwhile, Kawahara is making so much dosh that tax isn't an issue.
what a shame. Of the MMO comics, it's the one closest to actual game mechanics IMO
Also why is Isuzu such a best?
>>140746116
Log Horizon with a heavy emphasis on politics and a non-standard MC is considered a generic LN?
Guess his >glasses adjust did not work this time around. Maybe he get more time to think of how the story goes in prison later.
>>140746591
try actually reading the article or the thread first
>>140746675
>The court sentenced Touno to 10 months in prison, although the sentence is suspended for three years so he will not serve time if he remains on good behavior.
>suspended
Well shit, thought the prison experience will give him ideas on how to write it in the LN.His imouto gonna use this to mock him everyday.
Marielle is best girl.
>>140746144
He's playing the system, it's all according to keikaku.
>>140746433
Goddman it
Even nips on 2chan are roasting him now

WAIT A MINUTE!
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE DATA'S ALL GONE!
>>140745896
DATABASE, DATABASE
NOT PAYING TAXES DATABASE
WOW WOW
>What concerns us poor people more than anything is how he will spend that 539,240,000 yen. However, about 430 million of this great sum is taken out in taxes.

I can see the appeal of tax evasion in Japan.
At least pic related pays his tax.
>>140745896
>Create 2 (TWO) light novels about economics
>Don't pay taxes
>get caught
What a retard.
>>140747198
>>140745955
LN pic vs IRL Kawahara
>>140747499
Why the fuck do I imagine everyone as a bishounen until proven otherwise? I thought he would be some lanky L-looking motherfucker.
Hell, even behind every anon's post here, I think there's some skinny guy who would be befitting as a harem MC.
>Log Horizon author gets arrested
>Agiri's VA gets off scot-free
Awkward.
>>140747786
No one can catch the weed ninja.
>>140747635
Kawahara looks worse now, unfortunately. The excessive push to get 3 LNs + multiple spin-off projects running simultaneously in the past 3 years have really taken a toll on the poor guy. He only looks decent in PR photos now.
>>140747786
It's because he can't play the pregnancy card
>>140747832
>>140747786
Wait, Agiri's VA is fine now?
>>140746591
>not /adjustglasses
>>140747786
What'd she do?
>>140746244
Yes, which is why he got a slap-on-the-wrist suspended sentence while the rights management company is being fined.
>>140747956
Yes, the charges are dropped
>>140748105
It was reported she had participated in illegal weed smoking activities.
Season 2 dub when?
>Slap on the wrist.
Jesus.
Beg for a Maoyū Maō Yūsha please.
>>140749077
Fuck that, S3 when?
DEEN is saving anime, they could save LH while they're at it
>>140749119
Not enough material.
Season 2 kind of ran out when they focused on the Tea Party leader.
Season 2 was a bit unfortunate in that all of the interesting things started happening and started to get set up and then it ended.
>>140745896
Just how many enemies did Mamare make in the government? Holy shit, it's the third time they try to jail him already.
>>140745896
he was a faggot and horizon sucks
>>140746003
He literally forgot to pay them, not even kidding.
i feel sad for him, he is one of us
>>140745925
>>140746114
Japan isn't America. You don't get 400 years in prison for daring to violate against the Deity of Money.
>>140749678
>Deity of Money
>>140745896
This is the 3rd time ANN wrote an article about one incident.
A quien mamaremos entonces? XD
>>140745896
It's over. S3 never.
>>140747786
She's a girl so it's okay.
>>140749779
Yea fuck you too buddy.
>>140745896
Well, at least he didn't molest his little sister.
>>140749761
Maybe it's ANN the one who hates Mamare, and not someone high up in Japan's government then.
>>140745896
I wonder how he feels about the public knowing his real name now. Most LN authors work under a pseudonym, even ones that sound like a legit name, since a lot of Japanese people are into the whole privacy deal and keeping work and personal life separate.

>>140745896
Oh look it's that issue that was resolved before it was even reported.
getting real sick of the media vultures swarming all over this shit. If there's not gonna be a S3 it's because of these cunts and not because of the tax thing.

His real name has always been known
He was just doing research for his next story arc
>>140745896
DATABASE DATABASE
SHOULD OF PUT HIS TAXES IN THE DATABASE
WOOOOO OOOOH OOOH
>>140749924
As expected from "journos" in ANN.
THE DATA IS ALL GONE
>>140749969
>Yeah we are ready for the tax code
>There's no use with all your audits
>SO CHECK THIS OUT!
>>140749943
How about the real name of other LN authors? Any surprising or mundane ones?
Add another victim to the list:

I guess there is no use for all his gimmicks.
Does this kill the franchise?

>>140750002
Not defending ANN but getting arrested, going to court, and being found guilty are completely different. It's not wrong to have three different articles to update people on a case
>>140745896
So he's finally in prison? RIP Log Horizon.
Also
>make light novels about economics
>don't pay taxes
Mamare please.
>>140752570
Can no one read nowadays?
>suspended sentence
Guess he's not having such a nyanderful day.
>>140746433
Ayy
>>140749779
>XD
End yourself.
>>140749576
The investigation determined he wasn't paying them on purpose which is why he got charged. He was just stupid enough to think he could get away with it.
>>140752776
>although the sentence is suspended for three years so he will not serve time if he remains on good behavior.
Oh. Neat.

He didn't beat the system...
>>140751263
And that has what exactly to do with the price of ice-cream in Ireland?
>>140745896
Wasn't this shit resolve already?
well whatever, that's what you get for pushing your viraling so far you come all the way to 4chan
>>140746244
Ya japanese society is supposed to work that way
That's why they care
In the end, all gold must return to its origin.
>>140753100
The divine exchequer shall be appeased
>>140745896
Hah. I wonder if people in Japan think less of him for trying to evade taxes. Maybe the richer people all try to and pity him for getting caught
>>140752956
>viraling
It's like you weren't even in the thread.
Oh wow, there's absolutely zero chance of season 3 now. NHK tax money is the reason that we even got two seasons of Log Horizon to begin with.
>>140753622
considering it was an institutional mistake instead of a personal one, it's not that bad
>~80% tax rate
YOU WHAT
That's fucking criminal that is. Who allows this, and why?
>>140754111
The megaconglomerates set it up that way so they don't get any competition

Why even bother?
>>140755905
Is the guy back already? Or is he still missing?
>>140749906
He'll be fine, it's not like he's Nasu, whose kept his identity completely secret from the public. Which is a very good thing as Fate and Tsukihime fans are fucking crazy.
>>140756014
>not learning runes
It actually provides I nice bit of tidbits in Elder Tales lore
>>140756021
I don't know. But I looks like he needsa hand.

Actual, Japan is even worse. His career and life are pretty much over. You can bet your ass LH is never getting another season, too.

Touno can always resort to the traditional pen and paper and beg his tsundere sister to type his manuscripts.

Silly guy, you should pay your fair share so that parasitic senior citizens and NEETs can live the good life.
>>140747362
Why would you participate in the system once you know how it works?
>mfw people told me he was alright
>no shady buisness anymore
I just want s3.
>>140755219
My issue is that LH is boring.
Sure its more competently written than the unspeakable SAO but so are many other things.
>>140760241
I liked it until it focused on that stupid ninja chick and then I completely lost interest cause I don't like her character. I dropped it after they solved the gold problem and DEEN didn't help too much.
