The Apothecary Diaries Manga Will Continue Despite Artist’s Legal Woes

The Apothecary Diaries has found itself in the headlines this month and for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t that long ago the series made the rounds on social media as its anime earned solid praise. Now, all eyes are on the manga as The Apothecary Diaries illustrator was handed a sentence for evading taxes, but don’t fear! The manga is not about to be canceled.
The update comes from Square Enix itself as the publisher spoke with IT Media News. In the wake of Nekokurage’s recent sentencing, Square Enix assured The Apothecary Diaries is doing fine. The publisher is “not particularly considering cancelling” the manga, so readers can breathe a sigh of relief.
For those unfamiliar with the situation at large, Nekokurage made headlines earlier this year when charges were filed against the artist for tax evasion. The case went to court as Nekokurage worked with an account to sort out their finances. Last week, news surfaced that Nekokurage had been sentenced in the case, landing them a suspended sentence and a rather hefty fine. However, the legal woes will not reflect on Nekokurage’s work on The Apothecary Diaries.
