“Manga Mura, the worst pirate site in history, caused great damage to the culture of publishing and all authors.
In early June, Romi Hoshino, also known as Zakay Romi, was arrested in the Philippines in connection with his role as administrator of Manga Mura, the highest-profile website for Japanese-language pirated manga.
Manga Mura administrator was taken into custody in the Philippines two months ago.
Hoshino was seated in the center of a contingent of Japanese police officers, who placed him under formal arrest the moment the plane crossed into Japanese airspace.
