Doesn't the condition of body lockup or coma while awake type things happen to people who eat raw fish and raw puffer fish? The same ones that are used in poisons in real life and in stories ficiton or not?

I can't read the translation since most webpages in Japanese when translated appear to ALWAYS be in poem and rhyme, so if it was even successful whatever it was the condition will remain a mystery.

I have not seen the anime or manga related to this show but have read the few stories about it recently on ANN. I wonder if the writer created a book about a god and the god appeared in her room and scared her almost to death, before it started going to classes at the local Junior High School? ....


Perhaps we shall never know..

Best wishes on the writers full recovery and well being as soon as possible.

I guess we'll find out the cause for the illness when the mangaka herself comes back to work. Right now, let's wish her well in her recovery then, ok?

I think we shouldn't take the "can't move her body" part literally... it probably means that she's very weak and can't get out of bed.

I agree. Japanese tends to be very hyperbolic in its description of bodily illness. I read it as bedridden, too.
