"The Strong Beauty Shirakawa" was accused of plagiarism and the editorial department rarely came out to clarify

Kadokawa Publishing recently issued a statement to clarify the plagiarism allegations against its popular manga "The Strong Hearted Beauty Shirakawa", which was adapted into a Japanese drama. This is rare in the industry.

· Story of "Shirakawa, the Strong-Hearted Beauty" Momono Shirakawa (Hiroie Igeta), who works in sales affairs, is a "strong beauty" who lives by the motto "I am who I am, cute, and strong!" Shirakawa's colleague Machida is not confident about her body shape and keeps her head down every day. Umemoto, who is indifferent to Shirakawa, who has everything, holds a sense of self-loathing. In addition, Asahina feels inferior about her name. Mr. Shirakawa, who can bounce back with a smile no matter how negative he is, gradually changes their hearts through their interactions with her.

However, other cartoonists have previously posted articles accusing "The Strong Heart Beauty Shirakawa" of plagiarizing their own ideas, which has caused heated discussions. Usually, such incidents require the parties involved to post articles to clarify, but this time Kadokawa rarely came forward. After strict verification, there is no plagiarism. At present, the party involved has deleted the post to settle the matter.
