【Request regarding the handling of images such as manga on the Internet】
We would like to request once again that you refrain from the following non-planned activities in regard to the handling of images such as manga on the Internet, a subject which we have previously communicated to you about.
In the unlikely event that this request is not complied or there are accounts that do not show any improvements, we may notify the operating company of violations and request deletion as well as block accounts via our official accounts (@SasakiADNMiyano) and the Shou Harusono account (@harusono_org).

・Unauthorized reproduction of manga
In the event that you find a reproduced illustration or manga, please report it immediately and do not read it.
Unauthorized reproduction of illustrations and manga is illegal, and is called pirating. We do not allow any form of reproduction other than official projects (for example, iconization projects).
In addition, there are no websites where it is possible to read the entire story of a manga for free (As of April 2023).
The official sites where you can read our serializations are those operated by KADOKAWA only, such as Pixiv Comic or Monthly Comic Gene.
・Unauthorized translation of manga
Please purchase translated manga from the official website.
Translation is done according to the rules for each manga, and arbitrary translations may use words with meanings that the author did not intend.
In addition, we do not allow unauthorized reproduction (including the uploading of screenshots) even from officially translated manga.
・Amendments to manga, illustrations, and work logos
(Including coloring the manga, graffiti, using the logo of a work, turning the content of a manga into a video, etc.)
Manga and illustrations are not coloring books.
It is prohibited for manga and illustrations by artist Shou Harusono to be altered by "coloring artists" or "retouch artists."
We also request that not only those people who color or retouch manga stop, but also that people stop requesting such work and stop using such work as icons and headers.
The act of treating illustrations and logos as materials (any retouch processing such as changing the hair color of a character in a color illustration, making a character blush, using a work logo in your own illustration, etc.) is not permitted.
・Side-by-side comparison of manga and anime
We do not allow private individuals to post such content on the Internet.
Manga and anime have different production processes, so the expressions may differ. We are happy that you enjoy the differences, but please do not compare and verify images and videos of manga and anime side by side on the Internet, as this counts as unauthorized reproduction.“”
There are screenshots of anime which are authorized, however it is not permitted for them to be used for any other purpose.
【Requests regarding flea market sites, etc.】
The latest information on “Sasaki and Miyano” series related products will be announced on our official website and our official account as needed. Please purchase these at bookstores and anime shops.
In addition, we do not allow the sale of unofficial goods that use original illustrations, official illustrations, etc.
*Some people use manga and illustrations without permission to create and sell unofficial goods such as net prints and acrylic stands. Please do not purchase these and report them whenever you find them.
We can't [accept orders/resell/restock limited items] for all goods, but we will continue to strive to reach as many people as possible, including through resales. We thank you for your cooperation.
It's easier to get what you really want if you reserve your order in advance, so we will continue to remind everyone that “reserve ordering is really important!”
