Basically, this series was actually created by another artist (Shinjiro) in this post, which you can see has identical characters to the ones that Sky keeps using. Sky was basically using another aritst's characters, art style, and story on his own patreon to make money, and Shinjiro got angry about it and asked him to stop, so Sky is discontinuing the series.
well given that at least some of the characters (such as blondie here) are original, he can probably restart it with ersatz characters.
Its a shame how things ended, it makes me want to go with Andrew Ryan where a person can be entitled to their onee-san.
Doing away with IP law to hold intellectual property in common or reform it based on who labors on the IP rather than who created it is literally the opposite of the Objectivism Andrew Ryan was preaching.

Welp depending on the fallout I guess this also means Manjuu would distance themselves from him (ie no more skins for Astoria and her sisters though it seems they’re already well set as is with skins)
of course, it's hard to verify the worse artist's case since his original posts are gone and sky's aren't. but on the internet, every accusation is true or something like that. and is it even reasonable to say "the other guy made the series" if he had like one post or something, versus someone else playing the same generic concept and actually running with it? I shrug. I wonder if anyone gave a shit that fatalpulse and some other guy did basically the same story for two different magazines. ('girls in the frame' is basically the same as another guy's work, albeit with more of fatalpulse's attempts to be shocking thrown in, not that I'm sure who did which first and I forget the other one's name. (plot was some cowardly guy sneaking photos in the girls' locker room, gets caught, the alpha bitch decides to torture him but the other two girls decide they're just gonna have their fun, and cowardly guy suddenly gets dominant and takes the lead, but then runs off after doing them, crying about being sorry, only to find out the next day they want more) to be completely honest I don't expect this is enough for manjuu to care. houshou and the nawlins trio are probably fine. petty squabbles versus drama someone might actually notice or an artist openly badmouthing the company that pays him, or whatever excuse they used to replace mzt's nagatos or the original cranes...
