To be fair, East Asian countries has ripped off each other from ancient times. Just look how many countries from the Sino-sphere has pagodas and many similar cultural elements from each other. This is probably a cultural thing. |

WOW it really does look like Shonen Sunday plagiarized that character from Girls Frontline Hell SS even changed it immediately after Wave-Games pointed it out.

It's a pretty small number anyways. On the other hand when Sumire Uesaka retweeted the announcement of the character she was voicing that put it front of an audience of 366,000 who reasonably would have at least heard of it. |

Come on now, this isn't the dark ages: just because the artist's Chinese doesn't mean that "now it's their turn!!" to have their design ripped off.
Do note that all the original artist asked for was a formal apology, not monetary compensation. They had offered Shonen Sunday an easy way to save face; all they got in return was a condescending "your game was never popular anyway!". As other posters here (and, interestingly, on the Japanese article) have pointed out, not the most mature response. Just in case anybody else wanted to know, the most upvoted comments on the original article uniformly chide Shonen Sunday for its rude response and make fun of Mushibugyo for being an unpopular work itself, serialized in a dying magazine. |

(alleged) Theft is theft. I will admit that my bias made me think that a Chinese artist stole from a Japanese artist, then I read the exact opposite. It was such a drastic change in design! I don't know. That feels like guilt, and it also feels like they actually saw this Chinese design, found it much cuter than what they had, and nicked it. |
