The story
On 5channel’s News VIP board, “Jiga-chan,” a familiar regular, showed up again after about two weeks away, and the thread lit up with life-update replies. It started with posts welcoming her back, then rolled on through chat about a piano track she’d composed, a tip on a lower-back acupressure point, waiting on a personally imported medication to arrive, and smartphone carrier restrictions. She reported that the doujin event she’d taken part in had sold out at the venue, drawing congratulations — but near the end, she shared that someone she’d cut ties with had sent her 5,000 yen along with a long message via PayPay (a Japanese mobile payment app), sparking a discussion among thread regulars about her conversation with police and what to do next.
What people said
I programmed a piano track, give it a listen (*´▽｀*)
Listened to it — such a gentle melody
Been busy lately with a doujin event and other stuff
Long time no see, and thank youuu (*´∀｀)🤍 This is actually from a genre called "happycore" too… a piano melody like this is nice, isn't it 😌
Piano's nice~
Glad it sounds like you've been having fun lately
Thankssss
Good work out there~! This time of year's comfortable and cool, perfect for events (*´ｪ`*)
Thanks~ but it was pouring rain the day I went to the event 😭 managed to pull it off somehow though
Oh nooo lol
Was it indoors…? Rain really kills the mood in every way 🥲
It was indoors! Still totally deflating though
It really feels like it melts away fatigue, so give it a try too if you want, Jiga-chan!! lol
I'll give it a press
Glad to hear the doujin event went well
Good evening! So happy it sold out at the venue
Wait, is it an illegal one!?
Now I'm curious
Yep, that's right
I'm curious too but I still haven't gotten a tracking number 😭
Even toggling airplane mode doesn't fix it? (´・ω・`)
I'm fine for now, personally
Right? Seems like it was the whole device that got restricted
(・∀・) Nice!!
Got the concept figured out already?
Yep, it's decided — I'll draw it
After I cut ties with them, they sent me 5,000 yen along with a wall of text through PayPay's messaging feature
Honestly, it scared me…
Like a settlement payment or something? Creepy
Maybe you should go to the police about it?
I did go ahead and file a report through the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's website, talked with an officer on the phone, and they said they'd pass it along to my local police station
I see, that's good
Please be careful, since you've got an exhibition coming up too — just a heads-up from a 30-something lady here
Definitely contact them right away if anything happens
They might tell you 'without actual harm, we can't really…' but you should push back with something like 'Isn't it too late once there IS actual harm? Will you take responsibility for that?'
Background and Key Points on This Topic
The exchange in the thread about receiving what amounted to “settlement-like money” over PayPay is, at its core, a private exchange rather than a formal legal settlement, and whether police take action tends to hinge on whether there’s been “actual harm.” The thread itself reflects this tension — some posters worried that “without actual harm, police might not move on it,” while others argued “you should document and formally object before any harm occurs” — a dynamic that comes up often in real-world stalking and harassment consultations. It’s also worth noting that the thread never explains who “Jiga-chan” actually is or how she operates/broadcasts, so readers unfamiliar with this community of regulars chatting casually may find the context hard to follow.
