Yes, the answer is more prison time and not mental healthcare🙄. He obviously needs the latter as he’s has repeatedly done similar incidents before and it shows prison did not help him stop. Next time he’s out, he might act on his threats.
So many incidents of not mental well “fans” and stalkers escalating when they don’t get treated for mental issues.
He probably will be more extreme after release from the prison. Unfortunately nowadays governments cannot just exile criminals to Australia.
Ah yes, my favourite anime – Shinkage no kyojin
The problem here was that he had served prison time previously, for a similar incident. Is he not rehabilitable or is it a typical Japanese policy of “throw the problem under the rug instead of sweeping it?”
Yeah no Oshi no ko incident please
