tory

Midori Wakatsuki is a beautiful but introverted girl who simply cannot connect with her peers and wants to run away from home. The reason for her unsociability is that after her parents' death, she was placed in an abusive foster family where she was sexually assaulted by her adopted brother. When her real brother, Tokio, comes back from the States and demands custody, Midori's life changes forever.

Plagiarism

In October 2005, Suetsugu was accused of plagiarising Takehiko Inoue's "Slam Dunk" and "Real". Kodansha confirmed many of the allegations, and the author herself admitted to some. Due to this, Kodansha ceased publications of all of Suetsugu's work.
