Love Hina and UQ HOLDER! creator Ken Akamatsu has made history as the first manga creator elected to the Japanese parliament, known as the DIET.
Yesterday’s upper house election was posed to be a quiet, uneventful election, until the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday.
Akamatsu will represent the entire nation of Japan in the House of Councillors (upper house) for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), being elected through an open nationwide list where he was elected through proportional voting.
