Japanese food propaganda
Manga author Virginia Nitōhei announced on their X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday that the 19th compiled book volume of Otherwordly Izakaya "Nobu" (Isekai Izakaya "Nobu") manga – the adaptation of Natsuya Semikawa's light novel series of the same title – will not have any bonus features, and will probably not even have cover art. An hour after the post, Nitōhei confirmed in another post that the 19th volume will have no bonus features, saying that the promise of them receiving royalties for their manuscript was revoked. Kadokawa publishes the Otherwordly Izakaya "Nobu" manga, and the 19th volume will ship on December 4.
Prior to and after the posts announcing that the upcoming volume would not have bonus features nor cover art, Nitōhei has been reposting several status posts about the issue of manga authors not getting paid for drawing cover art for book volumes.
