The plagiarism controversy continued to spread and seeing that the momentum was increasingly in her favour, Soudou Nami further claimed on the Internet about Cherish Turner plagiarizing her work.
As a leading figure in the manga industry, Tanigawa Kenichi's status and influence were unquestionable. However, since one of the characters in the manga looked just like Tanigawa Kenichi, he couldn't openly support Cherish. This made the situation even more complicated.
Cherish had made her decision after consulting her professor.
"Cherish, it's not that I don't believe you, but every piece of work is inspired, and inspiration cannot be replicated. So, if you really go against Soudou Nami in a public showdown and lose, even if it wasn't plagiarism in the first place, the public will naturally assume that you plagiarized. Have you considered this? Also, I don't think you're at your best now."
Cherish had come a long way since she first arrived in Japan.
