It is extremely regrettable that such a claim of crime was made against DDBJ, an Inter-University Research Institute that promotes the free release of knowledge and data. The data that the criminal group claims to have stolen and released is information from a database called BioSample, which is originally available for free download by anyone, so the threat is meaningless.



◆Anime, games, manga (subculture)
Morning Issue 46 (released October 17, 2024) Apology and Notice Regarding 'Outside Director Shima Kosaku' | Morning Official Website - Kodansha's Young Adult Manga Magazine

In the story 'Outside Director Shima Kosaku' (written by Hirokane Kenshi) published in Issue 46 of 'Morning,' in relation to the construction of a new U.S. military base, one of the characters said, 'There are a lot of people protesting as part-time workers. I was once hired for a certain daily wage, too.'
In writing this work, the author and editor in charge went to Okinawa and conducted research, mainly on the tourism industry, which was necessary for the story. During this process, they heard from several local residents that 'there are part-time jobs for people opposed to the construction of a new base,' and reflected this in the work. However, this was merely hearsay that could not be confirmed by the people involved. Despite this, we portrayed it in a definitive manner, had a character say it, and as the editorial department, published it as it was, which we have to say was a rash decision, even though it is a work of fiction.
We apologize to our readers and, after consultation with the editorial staff and the author, will revise the content when it is published in book form.
