SNK Playmore is suing Square Enix for SE using SNK's material in High Score Girl w/o SNK's permission

SNK and Square Enix are in a dispute, and we don’t mean in a friendly cross-over fighter, either. SNK recently filed a criminal lawsuit against Square Enix for usage of SNK’s intellectual property without prior consent from the company.

To summarize what’s been going on, it appears that Square Enix have infringed on numerous intellectual properties of SNK Playmore through their popular manga, called High Score Girl, which is about arcade gaming featuring various video game characters.

According to SNK Playmore, the infringement came to light when the anime adaptation of the arcade manga was in the works, and the animation studio contacted SNK to ask about their usage of characters and music in the show. As it turns out, SNK’s content has been used in the manga all this time without their consent.

While they don’t go too far into detail about what exactly was used in the High Score Girl manga, SNK Playmore claims that there were over 100 instances where characters from the King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown were used without consent.

SNK Playmore say they attempted to contact Square Enix on the matter, but did not receive a proper response, which eventually led to their filing of a criminal lawsuit against the company through the Osaka police back in May of this year.

Yesterday, on August 5, the Osaka police raided Square Enix’s office located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, along with other concerned parties, which violated copyright infringement laws.

Investigations are currently ongoing and more details will be available upon further interrogations and evidence inspection.

crunchyroll has a simulpub, but the archives are locked behind a subscription.

[Vandalhart]

Mangahere has the archive if someone is looking for past issues.

Is there a way to mark manga as a favorite on Crunchyroll? I'm all caught up, but I'd gladly use their volumes to stay on top of releases.

[Correction]

I have no idea lol. I don't much care for their flash-based manga reader so I just use it for the free simulpubs.

Gyah, up to date on Akame ga Kill. I hate starting such low progress mangas

I don't mean it has bad pacing btw, just that not a lot of volumes in total out of the totality of the story.

Been reading that also, dam the latest chapter, I want to see how she reacts to his words...

Thinking either she will beat him to death, or think whatshername is stealing him from her, so she will focus on killing the other females of nightraid, aka manhunt for his gf. So he can only have her

If you haven't ever read Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa("The truth is, I am..."), you should. It's hilarious, has great facial expressions, and everyone is an idiot in their own way.
