It has been learned from interviews with investigative sources that the Aichi Prefectural Police have arrested three men and women on suspicion of copyright infringement for possessing counterfeit copies of Weekly Shonen Jump containing the first chapter of a popular manga series for the purpose of selling them.

The magazine featuring the first episode is being bought and sold at high prices as a so-called rare item, and the police are investigating how it is being obtained.

According to investigators, the three people arrested are men and women from Taiwan in their 20s to 60s. On the 18th, they were suspected of violating copyright law for possessing counterfeit copies of Weekly Shonen Jump with the intent to sell them.

The three are believed to be members of a group illegally selling counterfeit manga magazines. On the 18th, the Aichi Prefectural Police searched a building in Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, which was believed to be used as a distribution base, and found a counterfeit copy of the 1997 issue of Jump featuring the first chapter of the popular manga ONE PIECE.

Magazines featuring the first chapters of popular manga are being traded at high prices among fans as so-called rare items, and the group is also believed to have sold counterfeit magazines containing the first chapters of other popular manga on flea market websites.

The police believe that it was elaborately replicated and are investigating the source of acquisition.

Magazines featuring the first chapter of popular manga are rare, and its said that they are being bought and sold at high prices among fans.

According to Shueisha, it has been confirmed that counterfeit copies of Weekly Shonen Jump featuring the first chapter of the popular manga NARUTO are actually being sold on flea market apps.

Because it is intricately made, you might not notice at a glance, but since the paper is different from the genuine item, the texture feels different, the color vibrancy isn’t fully reproduced, and there were also some misalignments in the printing.

Mr. Miya Tomishige, the head of the Intellectual Property Division at Shueisha, said, I believe that the spread of sites where individuals can easily list items like a flea market is one of the reasons why counterfeits have become widespread.

I believe that the people who purchase these items truly love the creator and their works, so I cant forgive those who take advantage of those feelings to sell counterfeits.

He said, I want readers to understand that such counterfeits exist in the world.

Copyright Protection Organization: “Take a moment to think.” Fuminori Nakagawa, Executive Director of ACCS Association of Copyright for Computer Software, a group established by publishers and others to protect copyrights, said, “Not only are there pirated digital products, but now even highly sophisticated counterfeit publications are appearing in the world.”

As an association, if we find items suspected to be pirated being listed, we would like to request their removal from the site to prevent their distribution.

Its difficult to determine whether items sold online are fake or not, but if you ever feel even a little suspicious about whether something is really genuine, I hope youll take a moment to pause and think, they said.
