Missed It: Cartoonist Mamora Gōda Arrested For Indecent Behavior

Here's a news brief that tumbled out of the Anime News Network site yesterday: the manga creator Mamora Gōda was arrested earlier this year for "indecent behavior towards a woman." The brief says that two of the incidents, in April and May, involving throwing a ball at this woman -- knocking her down on the latter occasion, and causing her an injury. The maker of the manga Mori no Asagao was subsequently charged on June 25 and July 12.

In addition to Mori no Asagao, Gōda created Kirakira Hikaru and Samayoi Zakura. All three of those series are set in some aspect of Japan's judicial system, and have been translated into live-action TV series.
