Wait that’s the reason it’s so short??? What did people claim the mangaka was plagiarizing? :/. At best, it looks like they used 3D models as reference for posing
There were some magazine spreads of models and backgrounds that the artist traced. That’s it. Literally just poses and backgrounds for things like cover pieces.
That’s so lameeeee.
Araki has referenced so many artistic models for poses and artist names + songs for stands in JoJo but no one cares . I get references and tracings is different but imo it doesn’t seem that serious
It’s mostly due to the time period this was released in unfortunately. Iirc this was released around 2012-2014, and back then it was more frowned upon to reference things like that. Now it’s generally accepted. It was a pretty poor reason to cancel such a good manga.
Ohhhh that makes sense. It was a different time back then (￣∇￣). Ty for explaining! This story was one of my first GL manga a long time ago and I was always hoping that there were more chapters or smth that weren’t translated :’)
The way this manga is probably one of the best yuri mangas I’ve ever read. It really just remains a comfort, and I feel very sad everytime I remember that the only reason we don’t have more is because of some loose plagiarism claims. Like poses and backgrounds…are you serious? Prism deserved to have at least 20 chapters. The prematurity of the end is so disappointing.
