Shaa, an illustrator widely suspected of tracing the illustrations of other artists, has now been the subject of plagiarism himself in an unusual case of reverse (or possibly revenge) plagiarism.
The cover for Nogizaka Haruki volume 1, published some time ago and illustrated by Shaa:
The promotional art for upcoming generic anime Rio RainbowGate:
There is some suspicion that that this is intended as a slap in the face to the unrepentant plagiarist Shaa, although were it not for the similarity of the text it might sadly be quite believable that both were ripping off some unknown third illustration…

Someone should make a manga where EVERY single panel is traced/plagiarized from different mangas.
Didn't that simon guy already do that?
Copy and Paste lol that's what you get
Yo dawg, I heard you like plag.. YOOOO! Nice pantyhose clad legs <3
Haha, even the font used and its fills are the same. +1
HAHA OH WOW
Karma?
Plagiarizing, a motherfucking serious business.
/end sarcasm.
I think Writer have a another motivation for posting this article. Too Zoom up pics to explain.
lol this article made my fucking day.
And once again a severe case of "who gives a shit". Imitation, flattery,.. anyone?
They're a Mexican saying that goes "steal from a thief and you get 100 years of pardon", and for very good reason :3
Spelling error much!?!? LMAO Haruki...............
Yo dawg I heard you like to plagiarize. So we put a plagiarism in your plagiarism, so you can plagiarize while you plagiarize.
Who didn't see this coming from a mile away xD
you peoples need to get over it !!!
tell me what tekst or action hasn't be use more then 1000 times :p
Using poses is fine, but that guy is known to shop two or maybe three pics together and present it as his own work.
No he's not. Your probably mixing it up with that other recent plagiarism article, this guy is accused of tracing other peoples work, which if you actually look at the supposed incidents it's pretty clear he hasn't been doing (if you actually got a brain to look further than "it's the same pose!" that is, which 2ch lately seem to be lacking).
I'm surprised he bothered to alter the head. A palette swap would've just fine~
If it's going to be generic then there has to be a different face. Otherwise we'd JUST be seeing the same thing again....
That would be bad.
Tracing this stuff and got caught himself now that's a proper FAIL.
lol, owned
That's one long yet awesome username..

I need to see more pictures of the Miku Sti!
wow that anime was good, I had no idea he plagiarized that character...
No, he didn't plagiarize it, it WAS plagiarized recently.
Yooooooooooo, nigger got owned. ^_^
Racist Cracka
your moms a horde
His mom plays WoW?
he meant whore... not horde... really....
That was so funny though.
If the character has juicy legs then I could care less about the originality of it.
What's new..... =_=
I've learned something new for my subject recently.
We don't care from where the source comes from, simulacrum:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacrum.]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacrum.
Copyright ironies? Seriously, he changed the face, it's a new thing.
I don't like where this is going.
It can get pretty amusing. If it leads to something like gununu or yukkuri I don't mind lol.
"Plagiarize It Easy~"
I'm looking forward to seeing an image of both of these girls as Yukkuris saying that catchphrase in Pixiv sometime in the future...
Oh the history it would be.
If the original plagi... Let's just call him the first plagiarist instead. Anyway, if he fires back won't that just start a back-and-forth going plagiarism war that will only further degrade the original art?
Ah damn, maybe I'm just thinking too much.
Yeah can´t wait for that.
@dirtypair
I'm hoping for some crossover yuri-futa doujins between these two girls...
Yes...Maybe on the next Comiket...
And it will lead to something new.
LOL! That's freaking brilliant! Now let us see a "homage" to Incarnate. Nick Simmons could sure use a slap in the face.
am i the only one that thinks that "generic anime" looks interesting? >.>
Can't be helped. :/ Cute girls are hard to turn away from.
Cute girls are impossible to turn away from.
*fixed*
haha, yea. ^_^
