A 15-year-old boy hanged himself from the ceiling fan after his mother took away his porn magazines.
Akira, was a boy who loved anime comics, so much that he always used his allowance money to buy the latest versions.
He developed a liking towards one character in the comic, a lady, who used to get molested by a tentacle monster in every edition.
He used to carry his comic books everywhere he went as he could not live without seeing the female character being molested by the monster.

At first, his mother thought the liking towards female characters was as a result of hormonal changes but after she realised Akira was becoming too possessive of his comics and locking himself up in his room all day reading them, she became concerned.
Adult versions of anime comics are usually referred to as ‘hentai’ and Akira somehow managed to get his hands on 18+ versions of the comic. He was fascinated to see his favourite female character being molested naked in the adult version, so much so that he developed a habit of carrying the adult versions of the magazine to school.
Unfortunately, bullies found him and immediately teachers took note of this, they reported it to his mother who decided to do something about it.
She removed all the locks on his bedroom door and also refused to give him allowance money.
Somehow, the boy always found money to buy comics and when his mom found him performing ‘ungodly’ acts in his bedroom, she took away all the magazines and threw them away.
Akira felt that he had nothing left in this world and decided to take his own life so that he could be with his ‘beloved’ anime character in the next life.
To the shock of his mother, he hanged himself from the ceiling fan.
