If what she said was true, he must be a magic man.

The no dating/sex/marriage policies many groups should be abolished by law and really who cares if it's adultery, let the people involved sort it out not the studio.

Wow. I actually feel pretty bad for her and the man's family. He hurt them all.

I can see how a manga editor have a way with women, he reads a lot of manga after all. Hopefully this incident doesn't destroys her future. Cool

She was nailed hard. This kind of flick is what Japanese majority hates...
I don't see her getting the good side of the many even with this apology.

OHHH SHE DIDN'T KNOW!!?? awww so sweet...

You know the good ones are successful, charming and TAKEN!!

I give this man a tip of my hat...one for convincing idols to break their contracts just to go with him....

and to work as an EDITOR!! in a freaking SHONEN JUMP...go sell manga to the japanese or Ice to the Alaskans and you'll see what I mean.

Please sir, destroy and disband as many hot girls groups as you can, let none bar your lady-hunting powers , this guy's my hero.

She is paid to be an idol, which is more than just someone who sings songs or dances. They are paid to maintain the image. If they are unwilling to do that, then they shouldn't have taken that job. It's like working in costume at Disneyland, if you can't maintain the kid friendly image then you are going to get fired.

Why should Japan pass laws against it, when we in the U.S. do the same thing. When you are paid to maintain an image, well, you have to maintain that image, or find another job that is more to your liking.

@IchigoKurosakiHollowfi
Most certainly he is a douchebag. But based on what was said about him, his powers of charm, appear most magic like.

I suppose it's worthy of some outrage given that he's a married man. But I still think the rules idols have to follow are pretty f-cked

And then we should pass laws that not only prohibit studios from firing people who make racist, sexist or otherwise offensive comments, but instead INSURE that those people have work. Because people in entertainment have every right to take money from a company whether they provide value or not.

Idols are selling to a market with certain expectations, you don't need to be an "idol" to be an entertainer or even a singer/dancer. (As was previously mentioned, Disney has a BUNCH of restrictions it places on its employees)

I can see the problem in that she violated a rule her group has, but I don't see it as her fault that the guy was married. As far as I'm concerned, it is on the married person to be honest about the situation.
