Apology and notice from the Gakugei Nonfiction Editorial Department | KADOKAWA

We have decided to cancel the publication of the book ``That Girl Also Became Transgender: The Tragedy of the Gender Reassignment Boom Spread on Social Media'', which was scheduled to be released on January 24th next year.

Immediately after the publication announcement, we received a variety of opinions from many people regarding the contents of this book and the pros and cons of publishing it.
We had planned to publish this book with the hope that it would serve as an opportunity for readers in Japan to deepen discussions through gender-related events in Europe and the United States, but the title and catchphrase may end up hurting those involved. We sincerely apologize for this.

We will take each and every opinion we receive seriously, and the editorial department will continue to accumulate knowledge on this topic.
We apologize once again for this matter.

The end of the Kuroishiji Temple Sominsai means that the original origin of the Sominsai festival will disappear.

In other words, Sominsai held in various places in Iwate Prefecture will follow the example of Kuroishi-dera Temple and abolish Domino due to a lack of successors.

In other words, the history of Sominsai in Iwate Prefecture will probably end here.
