The Complaints Continue
As has been widely reported in the media, the number of complaints about Nova keep piling up. According to reports, in the three months from April to June, there have been 1803 complaints, which rivals the 1935 complaints lodged for all of last year.
Of the complaints, 70% or 1249 haven been resolved through lawyers providing information or counseling, whereas the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan has resolved 62 complaints.
Nova needs a miracle to get out of the hole it's in.

Nova
I think the most interesting thing about the Nova story is, like Livedoor and Murakami Fund, why them and why now? You think the other big schools aren't just as dodgy?? Nova just picked the wrong people to pay off, or got into so much financial trouble they couldn't afford to pay anyone off anymore...

Is that what Nova has come to?
I had worked for them about two years ago, and I cant believe what i'm hearing. There were rumors about some complaints popping up on NHK News, but our manager would disregard it. I regret leaving, but understand people's concern. I had some problems with the company, but left soon after. There's no right to teach in Japan, period. I was lucky to be there, but some of the working conditions were a bit stressful.
