No more crayon shin chan comic...
The author is dead...
The author,Yoshito Usui who was popular worldwide among manga enthusiasts, went missing on September 11 after he went hiking on his own on a mountain range straddling Gunma and Nagano prefectures, north of Tokyo.
A body was found on Saturday by a fellow hiker and Usui's family late Sunday confirmed it was Usui, a recluse who was married with two daughters.
The indications are he fell and there was no suggestion of suicide, police and reports said.
His death dampened celebration Monday on the Respect for the Aged holiday in Kasukabe, a suburban city outside Tokyo which has become well-known nationally as the place where the cartoonist lived and set the "Crayon Shin-chan" story.
"I'm deeply depressed to hear the unfortunate news. I pray his soul rest in peace with citizens here," Kasukabe Mayor Ryozo Ishikawa told AFP by telephone.
