Toru Furuya has been the center of attraction after he reportedly admitted to having an abusive affair with a fan of his for over four years.
While his apology letter didn’t convey the entire scandal, an interview with the victim herself – who has been termed as A-ko (Japanese media often refer to victims anonymously as A-ko or B-ko), with Bunshun has divulged more information about their relationship.
The 33-year-old fan, significantly younger than Furuya and just a year apart from his daughter, detailed a troubling series of events that began with her admiration for his work and escalated into a complicated and painful affair.
A-ko claimed that she came forward with her story so that he won’t repeat the same mistake with anyone else.
