Remember kids, winners don't do drugs. Because when a winner is caught doing drugs, they're arrested and put in jail, where they're no longer a winner.

Oh, man, that's got to hurt badly for the fans that are enjoying Mr. Kiyohara's manga. I've no doubt that many won't view him the same way again and, much to his dismay, not in a good way. The only consolation that he has is that he isn't the only one that has found himself on the wrong side of the bars.

Thank god, he's retired, he has much less to worry about after he gets out of jail if he even goes to jail, it could be a suspended sentence since he's famous and the drug charge is non-violent.

That's a sucky way to have your book put on hold. This is the oddest reason I've heard for a hiatus.

I remember watching the news about his arrest. Needless to say I was shocked because he was playing when I was in my teens. He'll be blackballed for a while which is the usual thing in Japan. Who knows when he'll be back.
