posted on by Egan Loo
Boys-love creator quit her manga work last July after photo-tracing controversy

traced photographs in her works.

Nitta apologized at the time for tracing a fashion ment in her last published Haru wo Daiteita installment, although 55DSL, an offshoot from Italy's Diesel fashion label, described Nitta's copying of its advertising photograph as a "tribute." After the conroversy arose, Be-Boy Gold removed the next installment of Haru wo Daiteita from its following issue and has not published Nitta since.

In her new online message, Nitta apologized again to her readers for the controversy and thanked those that have sent her email messages and postal letters in the past year. She also reiterated her apologies to the copyright holders of the traced photographs, her manga artist peers in Be-Boy Gold, her drama CD label, and her publisher.

announced that Nitta would not be attending the convention shortly after the controversy arose.
