A Japanese salaryman stole 8 new copies of "Demon Slayer" and sold them to a used bookstore, was reported and arrested

Today, July 22, the Akashi Police Station in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan announced that it had formally arrested a 26-year-old male salaryman on suspicion of theft, on charges of stealing eight new copies of the "Demon Slayer" comic books.

Although "Demon Slayer" ended not long ago, its popularity is still continuing. This man with a formal job stole 8 new "Demon Slayer" comic books on July 21. The amount involved was only 3,960 yen, which may be just the price of a luxurious lunch in Japan, which made netizens sigh.

The problem is, the man who stole Demon Slayer didn’t steal it for the sake of its fame to read or collect. Instead, he went across two streets and sold it to a second-hand bookstore half an hour later. The staff of the bookstore was surprised that the book was obviously a brand new one and called the police. The man was quickly arrested.
