Arrested Act-Age Mangaka Wanted to Create a Series About Peeping

Arrested Act-Age Mangaka Wanted to Create a Series About Peeping

Tatsuya Matsuki, the Act-Age author whose manga ended up getting cancelled after he got arrested for sexually harassing school girls, had plans to create an ecchi manga involving peeping on people in bathhouses, a series that might have ended up becoming a success considering the popularity of sex appeal.

Matsuki expressed a desire to create a manga about peeping techniques that would, unexpectedly, involve two junior high school girls who wanted to look at naked men.

The translation of Matsuki’s tweets from 3 years ago where he explains that such techniques would be usable at real bathhouses and that he would need to try them out for himself to verify their effectiveness:

“Manga and movies about sento [public baths] are popular these days, so I thought of an idea for a new sento manga. In each chapter, a group of junior high boys will introduce methods you can use for peeping at actual sento that exist in reality. What do you think? It’d cause a commotion, wouldn’t it?”

“Research and verification [of the peeping methods] would be important, so it would be necessary for me to try them out for myself ahead of time…”

“Now that I think about the ages of people at sento, though, I just don’t feel all that motivated, so instead I’ll make it about two junior high school girls who want to look at naked men! Wow, now that sounds really fun…”

“Every episode would end with them failing to see any naked guys, getting heat exhausted from the bath, and taking a long drink of milk [a popular after-bath beverage in Japan]. But the readers would get to see scenes of the two girls in the bath, so it’d be OK. The 460-yen [US$4.30] sento admission cost is kind of a lot for junior high students to have to part with, and portraying that is probably something rorikon would find stimulating. Yeeeah, I’d want to read that manga!”

Given the nature of the tweets, it seems the author might have been doing his own “research” for the series when he was found committing crimes towards under-age girls.
