CATDOLL: A Japanese erotic cartoonist was exposed for plagiarizing others’ compositions. Has he run out of inspiration?

Nowadays, people's awareness of copyright protection is gradually increasing. In the artist circle, plagiarism is always despised by most artists. R18 works plagiarism is still relatively rare, but recently a well-known Japanese R18 cartoonist was exposed by netizens for plagiarizing a large number of other artists' R18 works. The cartoonist has now personally apologized for this matter.

This cartoonist is called Kanna Tetsuki. He launched a book about Anya, the furry girl from The Idolmaster Cinderella, on C88. Japanese netizens discovered that the cover of this book is surprisingly consistent with the composition of other doujinshi by other painters. Kanna Tetsuki has apologized on Twitter for plagiarizing the cover composition of this book, and said that the book will be discontinued and that he will never plagiarize again. However, after a lot of comparisons, Japanese netizens discovered that this professional adult cartoonist and doujinshi's other works also contained a lot of plagiarized composition, and that the copied works were all compositions and body posture details of fellow adult cartoonists. The big gun Aoito also became the object of plagiarism. This is really ungentlemanly.

The R18 comics published in the serialized magazine also plagiarized the works of other cartoonists in 2006.
