Thank you for your continued support. This is Mafumafu.

I sincerely apologize for causing such a situation again, and I'm truly sorry.

I will talk about the reported news, "Getting married and divorced. Filing a lawsuit against the partner."

As mentioned in the article, I was originally in a marital relationship. I couldn't publicly disclose it until now, and I ended up deceiving everyone, for which I sincerely apologize.

We started dating before the summer of 2021, got married at the end of December, and divorced in July 2022.

I'm truly sorry if my silence has caused pain or shock to some people due to the unexpected nature of this situation.

I deeply apologize to everyone who has been concerned or inconvenienced by this matter.

To avoid further lies and to be true to myself, I have decided to speak the truth.

By speaking the truth, I may face lawsuits. I may cause trouble to many people. I might never be able to have people listen to my music again.

I might be disliked by everyone, told they never want to see me again, and I might not be able to continue as Mafumafu.

Still, I don't want to tell more lies. Above all, I don't want to live while pretending to be someone I'm not.

So, I will speak.

What follows is a summary of the events from that time to the present. It will be a lengthy text, so I recommend reading it only if you want to know the truth.

I cherished my partner (hereinafter referred to as Ako). Until around spring 2021, I, as mentioned in a magazine interview, realized that I couldn't feel typical romantic feelings towards others.

At that time, I met someone who expressed love for me despite my inability to have conventional romantic feelings. Despite opposition from close friends and acquaintances, we started dating and got married. It is an undeniable fact that I genuinely cared for Ako.

I had been considering announcing the fact of our marriage. Of course, it would contradict my previous statements, and I was afraid of the public's reaction. Still, I wanted to announce it properly from us rather than it being known in an unfavorable way.

However, during our marriage, Ako was also an internet personality, and due to Ako and her associates' wishes, we couldn't make the announcement. There were times when I considered revealing everything in response to a particular controversy, but due to various constraints, it was not possible.

In that environment, I became increasingly distressed, and encounters with Ako became more strained. At that time, I was being criticized vehemently every time I made a minor disagreement. Over time, I started to believe, "Everything is my fault," and my days became dark and hopeless.

In that blind state, not knowing what was normal, I acted solely to appease Ako and avoid upsetting her.

Every day, I sat in front of the computer, kept LINE and Discord open, and responded promptly to hundreds of messages daily. I even logged into Discord servers 24/7 to be monitored, provided proof that I wasn't cheating, and kept my phone on, constantly responding, even while sleeping.

Looking back, it's hard to believe, but at that time, I accepted such a situation as normal.

Even in such circumstances, there were allegations like, "You married for money," and I kept apologizing without fully understanding what was happening.

Unable to make decisions for myself and not knowing what to do, I was saved by the words of my important partner.

When I regained my sanity, I finally realized that many of Ako's actions and behaviors constituted emotional abuse. I started considering divorce because it was no longer possible to continue the relationship. Initially, Ako strongly expressed not wanting a divorce and claimed to reflect on past actions. I explored the possibility of resolving our issues without divorcing.

I had already purchased a new home for us to live together. I thought that living together would alleviate Ako's anxiety. However, due to the deteriorating relationship, Ako stayed in the new home while I continued to live in the rented apartment, maintaining distance from each other.

Shortly thereafter, Ako began making statements on social media hinting at dissatisfaction with me. These statements were far from the truth and attracted criticism from third parties against me. Despite repeated requests through a lawyer to stop such statements, there was no improvement.

In an effort to improve our relationship and stabilize our mental states, I proposed revealing some facts publicly to counter misinformation and correct the narrative. However, Ako's representative rejected the suggestion, citing the desire to start a new phase of activities and asked to refrain from announcing the marital relationship.

Unable to tolerate Ako's contradictory actions, in late May 2022, I officially filed for divorce through a lawyer. Unable to disclose the truth about the marriage, the announcement of my hiatus was made, citing "medical treatment." I had hoped to reduce the spread of baseless rumors through honesty, but due to Ako's demands, I couldn't disclose the marriage, and the hiatus was announced only as "medical treatment." It was frustrating to not be able to reveal the truth and feel inadequate.

At the beginning of the divorce negotiations, Ako refused discussions citing health issues and unilaterally demanded financial compensation. As the negotiations stalled, suspicions arose about Ako having a relationship with another person during our dating period. Eventually, both parties agreed to divorce without financial payments in late July 2022.

After the divorce, Ako left the new home in a state of disarray, with numerous cardboard boxes and trash scattered everywhere. Ako even left behind the urn of a pet she owned alongside the trash. I brought the remains home, placing them in a high place in the living room for peaceful repose.

Regarding Ako's betrayal, I learned about it from a conversation with a certain individual (hereinafter referred to as B). I received screenshots of Discord and LINE messages from B and had a detailed explanation through a call.

The images included messages about arranging dates, wanting to give gifts on Valentine's Day, and during our Christmas promise on December 25th and 26th, Ako missed our plans and invited B to spend time together. In May, during divorce negotiations, Ako sent messages expressing a desire to reconcile with me while simultaneously inviting B to share a living space.

It was a shocking revelation, and I vividly remember falling ill due to the shock.

B repeatedly apologized, and considering that B was unaware of the situation, we reconciled. Now, B and I have a good relationship.

That wasn't the end of it. Even during the divorce negotiations, Ako and third parties harassed me on SNS and anonymous bulletin boards.

There were numerous posts suggesting that I was involved in domestic violence or had affairs with multiple women. These were all lies. Even during the hiatus, I continued to face harassment, and without being able to disclose the truth, false information and slander continued to grow.

As a form of resistance, I decided to request information disclosure from anonymous bulletin boards, hoping to at least reduce the slander. The results of this information request confirmed the illegality of the slander, and most of the posts were traced back to Ako.

There were many instances of slander, but one particularly egregious claim was that "Mafumafu killed Ako's cat by slamming it against the door." Ako's cat was a visually impaired elderly cat when we first met, and it was affection
