Acclaimed author Hiroa Fukuda has announced his departure from "Sheep Literature," a well-known Japanese publishing house. The reason for his decision is currently undisclosed. The timing of his departure is particularly notable in the industry and has resulted in broad speculation. Fans are eagerly waiting for any news regarding his future plans.

In Japan, the departure of a high-profile author from a publishing house can be quite significant. The literature industry in Japan is quite competitive and highly respected. Therefore, such changes can have a considerable impact, especially if the author is quite influential in the literary world. Japanese readers usually show considerable interest in the personal and career decisions of their favorite authors.

In comparison to Western countries like the US or EU, the Japanese literary world often places a stronger emphasis on the relationship between the author and the publishing house. In Western countries, there's often more fluidity in such relationships, with authors sometimes changing publishers or becoming independent.
