Tensions between the LDP and Komeito have been building over recent years, but Japan's ruling coalition has hit a crucial stage. The combo of Takaichi at the helm, plummeting election results for Komeito, a Soka Gakkai base that's facing its own existential crises after Ikeda Daisaku...a new era.

Question for authors: I received notice from Cambridge UP about an option to allow my book Petro-Aggression for AI training, with remuneration. Strikes me as a collective action problem: if I decline but every other author accepts, have I only harmed myself? Thoughts?
