It’s quite shocking to hear about this incident involving a senior official at the Kyoto District Legal Affairs Bureau. The situation unfolded when the official allegedly assaulted his subordinate during a discussion about manga spoilers, specifically related to “Oshi No Ko.”
According to reports, the assault took place on February 1, 2024, at the Uji Branch office. The subordinate, also in his 50s, mentioned a plot development from “Oshi No Ko” during a casual conversation, which evidently triggered the senior official’s intense frustration upon hearing key spoilers.

This frustration reportedly escalated to physical aggression, with the official grabbing and kicking his subordinate over the revealed manga details. Although the subordinate did not sustain any injuries, he understandably filed a complaint with the Uji Police Station, leading to a subsequent investigation by law enforcement.
On April 30, 2024, the Kyoto Prefectural Police decided to refer the accused supervisor for prosecution on assault charges, marking a serious legal repercussion for his actions.

In response to inquiries, the Legal Affairs Bureau opted not to comment further as the matter remains under investigation.
It’s unfortunate to see such an incident occur over a discussion about manga, highlighting the importance of maintaining professionalism and restraint in all circumstances, even when personal interests are involved.
