Yada Akiko announces her divorce from Oshio Manabu

Yada Akiko has divorced Oshio Manabu and announced this through a fax statement to the media on 7 August. Yada signed off the statement personally and stated that although they had differences in values and arguments about Oshio's affairs with other women, Yada had not made the decision to divorce him yet despite being separated from him for the past 6 months. However, the recent arrest of Oshio and the trouble he has caused to the people around him as well as their son caused Yada to make up her mind to divorce him. Although Yada knew that everyone was waiting for her to talk about this matter publicly, she revealed that she is still shocked by the sudden nature of this matter and is in no condition to speak in public. As such, she asked for everyone's understanding that she can only make the announcement through this method i.e. the fax statement.

Although we shouldn't rejoice at others' misfortune i.e. divorce, I think it's good for Yada to make this decision in consideration of her future and her son's. At least this should keep her out of the picture if Oshio makes any more trouble in future...
