It has emerged that Tokyo governor, manga ban proponent and prominent rape novelist Shintaro Ishihara has sent letters to ten of the publishers now boycotting the Tokyo International Anime Fair, which he chairs, begging them to relent and return to the fold.
The revelation came to light when a DPJ legislator quizzed the governor on what he was doing about the ongoing implosion of TAF; in his response, Ishihara revealed that his administration had sent the publishers grovelling letters claiming the Tokyo government “wants to go forward hand in hand with your companies in order to make the event a success.”
The news prompted widespread derision – previously, on hearing that they planned to cancel their participation Ishihara commented (shown above) that “Who cares if they come or not, they’ll be back next year. For all I care they can stay away forever.”
With their own ACE event well in hand in neighbouring Chiba, and all companies of any quality having abandoned TAF, it seems unlikely the publishers (and certainly not the mangaka) will be in any mood to back down – least of all with Ishihara forced into a humiliating retreat.

This old fart should have been removed already. That would be the Tokyo government's greatest moment ever. Gotta love that sad face of his.
At first he said: “Who cares if they come or not, they’ll be back next year. For all I care they can stay away forever.”
Then now he's begging them to attend...?
HYPOCRITE ALERT!!!
He just needs the tax revenue he cost the city, he probably still believes the first statement.
“Who cares if they come or not, they’ll be back next year. For all I care they can stay away forever... oh, but Tokyo still needs your taxes” - fixed
looks like the gov'na has been reduced to begging
oh the fail~
It's okay. I wanna see him
beg for his lifegrovel like the pig he is.I want a follow up of all 10 letters with the hypocrite's "defeat face" plastered in sweet glorious HDTV.
LMFAO!!! What is the Anonymous RAW GM doing on Sankaku? talk about random, didn't know there were other wrestling fans other then myself on this site.
the RAW GM is a closeted otaku~
Whoever kills him will be this world's savior(well at least to the otaku and 2D lovers all around the world) XD
Who ever kills Ishihara will be the 2nd Jesus.
It there is Any Assassin's Reading this, You Know your Next Job.
Reward is More Anime not being cut and the Law Being Reversed.
Nothing is real. Everything is moe.
Why kill him and risk a backfire? Isn't much more fun watching him retreating in such a humiliation?
You asked for it, Ishihara. Now have fun reaping what you sown.
That sad face is Ishihara's foreveralone.jpg when he realised nobody will come to his anime fair.
Lets see what will happen next though...
Ishihara's decision made their profit went into nothing....
That face realizes it's already too late since they already have their own program. It's a lost of revenue.
I think he believed he could say anything because he had them in a bind, he probably never thought competing publishers would band together on their own. Thankfully with public transportation it just means the people going have to get off on a different stop so it is no loss to the people.
I am so making a Demotivation poster with that pic.
His face in the second pic looks like he's saying "I just made poo"
...and the city he represents.
i thought it's more like :3?
a clueless face of some old dude who doesn't fully understand what impact his spoken words have even to himself :3~
...or he has some selected memories? :P

I done it. I'm not too good with funny shit, so peeps, i wanna see yours too !!!!
Ishihara's attempts are totally void. Everyone who likes fapping on loli manga will continue to do so. The only difference is that goverment will lose some portion of money.
Hahaha, tsundere Ishihara! First pic, that sad face is so priceless! You want them back? Get rid of the ban first!
Ohohohohohohoo
I am so happy to see that face.
You sad ? I happy :D.
finally some good news
i dont really believe it, but at least it sounds nice after a while...
Its the classic "Oh-shit-I-fucked-up-big-time" look, and i'm lovin it~♪
Publisher : Why do you send this letters to us,Ishihara?
Ishihara : *blush*I-Its not that i want y-your participation to TAF *blush*
Publisher : Hahaha,you really don't honest to yourself huh,Ishihara?
Ishihara : URUSAI!URUSAI!URUSAI!
you bet! :D
I want to throw pie at his sad face.
I recommend a shoe.
Lets see if he is as agility as Bush.
Almost worth getting deported for. ^_^
no no.. the pie deserve alot better treatment than that..
why don't you throwing shit at him
pie made of shit.
The poor pie.
Look at that sadass face of iShitHara. No fucking way those companies are returning to your wasted fair! FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHITTY BAN!!!
No dude. that's an old pic. At least the subtitles says "if they don't come they'll come next year".
man what a bummer..
so is there is any picture when he says “wants to go forward hand in hand with your companies in order to make the event a success.” ?
i hope he still look sad
Eh guys, this isn't the sad pic.
This is the one where he says “Who cares if they come or not, they’ll be back next year. For all I care they can stay away forever.”
ishithara eat his own shit!!!
Man, oh man... Now this is something I didn't expect to see so soon...!
Quickly!! Hit him while he's down and defenseless, otakus!!
Curb Stomp that Bitch!
lol @ the tsundere tag
Rip his head off and shit down his neck.
Begging? I dun think so. Requesting full dialogue.
meh, that's not mentally harmful enough... have him spend an entire day sitting at a specific location, performing dogeza apologies to every one of those otaku passing by him. an idiot like him deserves it >:D
Use him as meat shield against other senile politicians, then Ishihara will have a taste of his own medicine.
This is the best news ever...
In regards to this ban I mean, hell yeah...
FINISH HIM!...
All they have to do is force him sit through hours and hours of loli images and that would cure him.
Whatever punishment he gets will be better than what he deserves.
Sniper ready, but now he needs to appear!
Quick! Hit his weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!
Ke'hahahahah... There is nothing I can do, except to laugh the whole day with his stupid-ass face.
Ishihara presents, iShit
Soon with the larger edition iShitBrick
epic win
Sniveling old relic of the dusty past remembers to the old asshole chasing off the youngins from his "land".. in the middle of the Town Square! His sniffing the yennies fly off now~~~~ Sure hope all the companies stand strong instead of scrapping back on knees like their governmente apologizing often to china and nkorea!
I'm 12 and what is this
beg and grovel like the dog you are, Ishihara!
he deserves to be yoked in a public square to be pelted with shit
EPIC BEAR HAS SPOKEN!!!!
eat shit ra!!
ow shit... (dodge)
Maybe Kadokawa, should let Ishihara Doing Dogeza before denied his request o_0
SLIDING DOGEZA
ORZ3
No wonder Ishihara talks shit.
He's in serious shit now!
--- forced into "HUMILIATING RETREAT"
QUICK! AIM FOR THE HEAD!
He might reconsider the Tokyo Ban!
Yes, throwing shit against a fan never was a smart move. Surprised that he actually thought it would be.
And no wonder that he's an old fart.
