More on the death of Yoshito Usui
While Japan mourns the creator of Shin-chan, Yoshito Usui, some rather heartbreaking details are emerging about his death on September 11th. Usui-sensei fell to his death while out hiking, and there’s a cautionary tale for all:
A Futabasha official said the last picture on the broken digital camera found near Usui’s body was one peering down a steep cliff.
“As he was full of curiosity, we think he fell off at the moment he took the picture,” the official told reporters.

Wow, I don’t know what else to say but “Fuck!” I don’t wish an end like this for anyone, but especially for a guy who was out to brighten people’s days with his comics.
