Agreed. It's proof that not even immortal manga writers like him can escape from death.

Great. Now I can't get the thought out of my head of the same thing happening to... no, not gonna say it. Wouldn't want to jinx it.

51, eh? That's no age to die. Really a shame.

Kubo? Kishimoto? Oda? Akamatsu? Mashima?

I must know! oO

And if you have the power to hurl people down mountains by speaking their names, this is probably the least of your worries.

Damn. I heard he was missing and a body was found in the area, so things weren't looking good. So now the other shoe drops. Damn. It's tough to think a creator of such a lively character can just turn up dead like this.

Hell, I was just playing Mario Kart last night and we have Shin Chan as one of the Miis, so that of course made me think of this sad situation.

That's really sad. Love Shin-chan when I was a kid. Now still do
