3. Rest in peace, Ashihara-san.

   Disappointing that the scriptwriter instigated bullying.

4. This whole thing makes my blood boil. I’m so sorry Ashihara sensei that you and your manga were treated this way. May you rest in peace…

5. So any criminal charges to be brought against the script writer? I do believe something was passed lately that held cyberbullys accountable…

6. Hope her estate sues the ever living shit out of NTV, and also has charges brought against the bully or bullies

7. Misleading title as the claims are currently all speculative.
