Mariya Ise, the 22-year-old seiyuu currently voicing Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt’s “Stocking,” reports a disturbing encounter on a train in which a creepy otaku apparently recognised her and began onanising in her presence.
Naturally she provides a blow-by-blow account of the incident on her Twitter account:
No way, no way!
I got on the train and this guy kept glancing at me… and then he put his rucksack in his lap (so nobody could see what he was doing?), then pulled down his zipper and started touching himself!!!! No way!!!!

Ahhhhhh… that was gross. I pretended not to notice so as not to cause a scene, then switched trains – but what could I have done? If it was Stocking she would have been like “pff, tiny!!” but for me, no way.
Why is this such a big problem in Japan? I don’t understand. The men all have some kind of horrible testosterone imbalance? That can’t be true with guys like Ninja warrior’s Makoto Nagano, so what?
The women themselves are adorable and stay that way well into middle age so what’s the freakin’ obsession with defenseless little girls. It’s sad (says the gaijin moving in on yo’ sexy ladies. You have been warned :3)
Careful of real life rapist and stalkers.
誤訳なんじゃないか。apparently recognised her では彼女が伊瀬茉莉也であることに気づいたことになる。そもそもこの痴漢のことをおたくとは書いてないし。
あと、よーくみるとパブリックでオナニーするほどの顔じゃないな。
確かにね。可愛い女の子だと思っただけでしょう。
I like how shes all cool about it mentioning the stockings and “pff, tiny!!” at the end there.
This is why you shouldn’t become an idol if you want to do voice acting. If you become popular due to your appearence, you gotta expect this kind of stuff
