A man has been arrested for plotting to bomb the house of the characters of Lucky Star, formerly the home of the manga’s creator Kagami Yoshimizu, but was apprehended by police before causing any harm.
Saitama police arrested the unemployed man (22) in Satte City after he sent a letter proclaiming:
“I’m going to go and blow up the building with the recreated Lucky Star heroine’s room in it.”
Referring to the pictured building, formerly the mangaka’s residence and now a tourist trap. The management beefed up security as a result.
He was soon arrested for interfering with police duties, all apparently according to plan, for the culprit himself states he did it out of consideration of the possibility that “If there’s a big fuss about the thing, I’ll be on the news…”
He goes on to admit himself that he had no intention of carrying out his plot: “I had no intention of actually blowing it up, I just thought if I put out the threats it would cause a stir.” Police seem to concur.
Hatred for Konata or Kagami did not apparently enter into the equation, as he had apparently only heard about the title through the Internet, and had never so much as read a volume of the manga. There is speculation that he objected to the franchise all the same though…
Regarding the house itself, the Satte City Chamber of Commerce and Industry had earlier renovated the house after Yoshimizu had moved out of it last May.
Opened on March 28th, The “Kimagure Studio Yoshimizu Kagami Gallery Satte” is now made into a museum of sorts, celebrating the “birth place” of Lucky Star.
Most of the rooms were made to look like those of the Izumi household, with one depicting the room of the main character, Konata Izumi, while another was made to look like that of her cousin, Yutaka.

lol Japan.
“I’m going to go and blow up the building with the recreated Lucky Star heroine’s room in it.”
Wow. He couldn't have kept his plans more secret than that.
...The point was that he didn't WANT to keep it a secret.
I know. I just thought that writing something like that was funny in of itself.
No kidding. What did he think he was, some sort of kaitou thief? Maybe he was hoping the hot young police detective would show up to try and foil his plot...
Man, what a lonely, attention-starved man.
This man needs to get laid, big time
Better yet, he needs to see a therepist. And soon, or else he will end up in the funny farm.
He was in Japan, the right country for that.
Yeah right, as if he has access to the required materials to seriously bomb that place.
Certainly his big mouth is in the way of his "perfect" plan.
Long live Lucky Star!!!
google and some chemical store or a grocery store or even a convenience store.
although you could do with a freezer, chlorox, some magnesium, and around 2 weeks.
heck even some properly wired and placed gas tanks should be enough.
I'm a Lucky Star fan though. so yes, me and my lousy fingers. hell, lucky star fans can go bomb his place too...
I'm going crazy.
*steps out*
Maybe you can, if you want to mess up the room, but despite what Hollywood wants you to believe powerful and stable explosives are not that easy to produce. Some of those chems can only be ordered from specific producers, and this means records of you purchasing them. Unless ofc you are big in the mining business and want to invest in some mad professor equipment.
Ofc, you can go the gas tank way but I reckon somebody is bound to notice the shady looking guy carrying the big tanks with "explosive" markings.
And yet all of this is so unnecessary when a few well placed molotovs can do just as good.
Actually, C4 is relatively stable and easy to make, and has a big 'bang for your buck'.
Other than that however (and C4 is easy for 'chemical sniffers' to find), yeah.... there aren't many stable explosives.
In fact, Dynamite fits into the 'unstable' category unless it is frozen. Same thing for most other explosive chemicals.
There is ONE that doesn't fit this rule however: ANFO. Contrary to what they want you to believe, they do NOT keep track of people buying Ammonious Nitrate very well, neither do they keep track of people buying fuel oil very well.
MacGuyver can build a high-explosive charge with a bottle of coke, his shoelaces, 10cm of scotch tape and some ear-wax. So can you!
Attention whoring at its finest..
What a sad sad hater.
He seemed pretty happy to me.
Bomb? Japan? Does not equate.
All those mags on the desk are probably hentai. Haha
So he didn't have an idea what he was angry at?
Then why was he angry?
Cause a stir, be on the news...
Was it his true objective or there is something more?
He was gonna scream I LOVE LUCKY STAR when he's interviewed.. Well, he failed.
Maybe he found himself in need of public housing.
maybe he works for lucky star and has been payed to do it.
Why all the hate? ;_;
because lucky star is pretty crap?
no, you are crap stupid
"crap?" was a typo, I understand.
We all know you meant "too awesome for his frail body?".
Nah, he's just the type of people who enjoy bitching and express hatred on stuffs he never watched nor even know anything about.
Whether it was by hatred or not, I just can't stop laughing...
Lol same here. In my case it's the topmost picture that's funny.
Nooo Kagamin~
I never thought that this could happen.
It's a troll that took things into real life. Idiot.
Wow....
"...with one depicting the room of the main character, Konata Izumi"
If there's no Mayumi Thyme poster there, then they're horribly wrong. Kinda wonder if you can find Yutaka's worn panties there... <3
“I had no intention of actually blowing it up, I just thought if I put out the threats it would cause a stir.”
One thing - what for?? To "cause a stir," lol? I don't get it. What's the purpose? O_o
...attention?
The world is full of attention whores.
Well, he sure got what he wanted..
unemployed + angry otaku: run to the hills!!!
nooo not kagami!
nothing of value would of been lost
Only in Japan.
I'm gonna go and blow up, let's say, Artefact's house. Yeah. I'm nor kidding. So, come and arest me?
I think you would be the only one commenting here who actually knows where Artefact's house is...
The police simply needs to show him that picture.
ummm i want to go there?
Looks like someone failed to graduate from the Polytechnic Institute of Hamas.
I bet he couldn't just gather the explosives... what a failure of a person.
Anyway, it seems he's just a NEET, not one of those shady otakus...
Hmmm nice house
