This is entirely wrong.
Comfort women were recruited in multiple ways.
Malaya has her own comfort women problem as well.

1. By importing women from South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan.

2. Prostitutes recruited by ex karayuki-san due to their network with other women.

3. Local leaders are requested to provide women to the Japanese army.

3.1 Not only they have to provide money, Chinese local leaders were ordered to provide $50m Straits Dollar as 'donation'.

4. Thru ad. OP mentioned it as though it's the only way to recruit. However, it's important to note that what is published is different from reality

Thru deception or lies.
British officers' concubines and poor prostitutes are targeted thru this method.

They were led to believe they only have to serve an army and allowance will be provided. They protested once they knew they have to serve more.

6. Kidnapping

In particular Chinese women, they will be kidnapped by the army of kempeitai.

According to testimony, once the army murdered her brother, she was kidnapped, raped, then forced to be ianfu for the Japanese army.

My graduate exercise is about comfort women in Malaya(sia). While looking at this, there's also the issue of the death railway incident, again not mentioned by OP.

What the Japanese did was cruel. Till this day, no victims received any apologies or compensated properly.

Abe's gov also unwilling to acknowledge the problem.

Anyway, I love Japan alot. But as someone who graduated from history, we should never forget despicable acts committed by the Japanese army, or brush it off as some sort of West propaganda.
