@OnTakahashi, the CEO of @irodoricomics, is always whining about how "piracy is evil"
So why is he accepting money to work as a translator for piracy groups?
Here's 1 example, he works for a piracy group stealing LNs & sales from @kadokawa_PR, a massive publisher from Japan

Here's the best part
OnTakahashi is lurking in every 4chan thread because he's so insecure and afraid
When he saw someone on 4chan mention his involvement with that group, they immediately removed his name from their piracy site and banned almost everyone from their Discord

This piracy group has a PAYWALL for pirated novels
According to their piracy site, you "donate" money to the owner, and he gives a small amount to the translator, and the "donor" gets to read the translation before non-donors
Donations to avoid taxes, that's a crime too

The group's owner said they've 1200 donors. There's definitely more than that.
Let's say each "donation" was $20USD, that's $24000
That's a lot of money to give to a translator for a little bit of text
Got a strong feeling that the owner keeps 90% of the money for himself too

The piracy group turned off the invite link to their Discord and banned half of their members from their Discord and now they're deleting their messages and trying to sweep everything under the rug.
Damage control is real.

This is the owner of the piracy group. He calls himself CBC.
He believes he's on a moral high horse or something.
He's repeating the exact same ignorant nonsense that OnTakahashi uses to deceive others.
No wonder they get along with each other so well.

OnTakahashi got the role "Japan Guide" in the piracy group's Discord and he's full of shit as usual
In Japan, just like anywhere else, people will look at the content or the summary before deciding if it's worth paying for. No one looks at a title and says "take my money"

Someone made an attempt to save messages from the public channels in the piracy group's Discord but failed.

@panda_ookuma You're the illustrator for that light novel.
What are your thoughts on the CEO of Irodori Comics and that piracy group stealing money from you and the writer?

@gomanga You should check this out.
The CEO of Irodori Comics, a self-proclaimed hero against piracy, got caught working with piracy groups that distributes illegal translations of unlicensed novels.
This is going to hurt everyone's reputation if it goes unchecked.
