Hentai Manga Artist Sees New Release Uploaded to Piracy Sites in Just 3 Days

Imagine drawing and selling the new volume of your most popular hentai manga series, and right after putting it on sale, discovering that it is already available on piracy websites. That happened to Nodo last month.

Nodo is an artist from Thailand who creates a hentai manga series called Good Teachers. I haven’t read it, but it is about teachers.

On April 16, Nodo released volume 4 of Good Teachers, featuring a total of 56 pages and priced at 10 dollars, with both English and Thai versions available.

And do you know what happened? Shortly afterward, the manga was already available on websites such as NHentai (which is currently facing a lawsuit in the United States). Nodo released Good Teachers 4 on April 16, and by April 19 it was already on NHentai.

After discovering this, he commented about it on his Twitter profile. Since he alone has no power to remove the manga from those sites, Nodo said:

What do you think about his message of “if you’ve already read it, that’s okay,” almost like saying “there’s nothing that can be done”? In another tweet, Nodo lamented how quickly his manga ended up on NHentai.

“It’s a bit sad that (the manga) was uploaded so quickly, only 3 days,” he said.

The life of a hentai artist.
