Child porn.

In November 2017, police found DVDs with footage of naked girls in their early teens in Watsuki's Tokyo office. Tokyo Police raided Watsuki's home as part of an investigation into the purchase of child pornography. The search uncovered DVDs containing videos of naked girls less than 18 years of age. He was referred to prosecutors over possession of child pornography on November 21.[23][24] The serialization of Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc was put on hiatus after the details of Watsuki's charges were made public.[25][26] In February 2018, Watsuki was fined 200,000.[27]The Hokkaido Arc resumed serialization in June 2018.[28][29]

Wow, they do not take that shit seriously over there. That's a fine of less than $2k for something that would have been 5 or 10 years prison in other countries. And the fact he suffered zero backlash afterward just shows how shitty that culture has to be that child porn is so normalized that it didn't even stall his career for *six* months. Wtf, Japan?
