Apothecary Diaries Manga Creator Nekokurage Indicted on Suspicion of Tax Evasion

Nekokurage clarified that this is a personal matter that has nothing to do with The Apothecary Diaries’ original light novel series author or anyone else involved in the manga’s creation.

The light novel series inspired an anime that premiered on October 21 with the first three episodes, and aired for two cours (quarters of a year).

According to the National Tax Bureau, the tax-evaded money, which includes income earned from manga sales, was used to purchase real estate.
