We heard previously of the schoolgirl who killed herself based on a comment, “Die!”, left on her blog. Now it appears the girl (then 15) responsible for the comment, in fact her former classmate, is facing prosecution for insulting the girl and instigating a suicide.

Hopefully, you missed the recent downtime, for which I apologise unreservedly, though at least I have the perverse pleasure of informing you that the cause was none other than Beako herself. Perhaps hard to believe, but in all seriousness she was the root of the problem, the details of which I shall spare you… It seems almost poetically appropriate.
Perhaps Sankaku Complex now harbours sufficiently large a nest of lolicon to attract her wrath? Still, having been punished with such harsh chastisement I am eager to use her charming image all the more.

An aggrieved lady (36) who plotted the murder of her own mother, after she suggested she throw away her prized manga collection, comprising several thousand volumes, has been arrested. For good measure, she also attempted to secure the murder of her father into the deal.

It seems virtual lifestyle MMO ai sp@ce, currently in closed beta, is set to include a notable eroge feature in the form of plenty of pantsu exposure, with costumes able to exhibit underwear prominently (though they may actually be not-pantsu according to some, and as it is a beta they are quite possibly not intended as such).

Sankaku Complex has attained the next somewhat arbitrary milestone of a million hits; it seems not so long ago that we were celebrating our one hundred thousandth page view (in fact it wasn’t), and traffic continues to grow steadily in line with expectations.
The site itself is becoming larger, more sophisticated, and more usable, something which recently got a dramatic increase with the addition of the Danbooru based Sankaku Channel, sure to correct many of the deficiencies with the visual side of things, and to strengthen the community aspect of the site.
Naturally, I should at this juncture proffer my thanks to you, the users, and to the innumerable sites kind enough to link here; this I shall do in more detail below. With it being something of a major milestone, allow me to go into more detail in a number of areas, and provide some site statistics which may be of interest.

NicoNico Douga’s fortunes may be turning once again, for we hear that the Japanese government, specifically the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, is set to put into action a plan which would enshrine in law special “cyber-districts”, where authors using commercially held copyrighted works in their creations would be legally allowed to ignore the usual requirements for permission and royalties.
