TL;DR - an interview with mangaka Katsumi Michihara from 1997 that covers her opinions on LOGH:

It's been happening for 2 years in Japan. The payment processor purposefully sends a letter with a narrow window for immediate compliance. Akamatsu Ken's manga website, MangaZ, had to shut down entirely because the time-frame for them was incredibly short (and had to do a donation drive to reopen).

In the meantime, remember that you can read over 100+ books and production materials on my Internet Archive. You can always view these books for free before they go on my website.

I read The Hidian Gamers (been collecting most of Konoma Waho's bibliography, including fanzine and magazine exclusives). There isn't much to talk about THG aside from speculation it might be the first TSF ero-manga serial, and Kazuna Kei based one of his characters on the THG faunette.
