***DISCLAIMER!! I am not %100 sure about the entire situation. This is all that I’ve seen and speculated from. Feel free to comment any corrections for future readers.
Okay to sum up what I think is happening from what I’ve read in comments, on Twitter, and on the blog post:
Eunhi (the author of Childhood Friend Complex) is suing Tirano (the author of All About Lust) for allegedly having plagiarized certain panels and the story/scene-pacing of the said panels. I don’t exactly know if this is true, but apparently one of Eunhi’s friends/helpers pointed out some similarities between her work and that of Tirano’s but instead of thinking of it as coincidence or inspiration, she decided to take legal action against Tirano and is possibly suing them for plagiarism. (<— again, I am not quite sure if this part is fact yet or I’m just a part of the grapevine and possibly misconstruing fiction as fact.) I did take a look at what was posted, and I’m not choosing a side on this issue, but I can see why some people believe she didn’t plagiarize as well as why some people believe she did.
I think what the main problem people are talking about is why she decided to sue, instead of take it as coincidence for why both stories seem similar. The main and only piece of story that I know of that people are pointing out and making comparisons between is CFC’s Chapter 11 and cover-art and AAL’s corresponding scene and cover-art.
That’s all I know about the issue. I have read AAL, and I have read CFC and I like the art and plot of both stories. I hope the issue gets sorted out and that both authors come to an agreement without too much backlash from each other’s fans.
