I'm really sorry to hear about this, especially as the article states that he's been experiencing this since April and yet this is the first that I've heard of it on this site. I've met Matsumoto a couple times and he is a super sweet man. I know that he was hoping that he would eventually be well enough to return to drawing manga, so I'm really sorry to see that he's been set back again.

I share your sentiments, Cutiebunny! I, too, have had the pleasure of meeting him and talking to him and he is definitely quite a nice person.

Get well! Glad to have supported the Kickstarter for Kimagure Orange Road too. Digital Manga will totally give it a release it deserves. <3

My only question is did he do that recording for the Kickstarter before or after his ailment got worse? If after, it must've been pretty painful to sit up, if it's that bad. And I hope he managed ok. Crying or Very sad

^ The large sketch offered in the Kickstarter appears to have been drawn when Matsumoto was a guest at PMX in 2013. If you look at the marker he's holding, it has the convention's logo. I have one myself.

That is so sad, I didn't know about the problems he was having.

May he get better soon. Though a dog person, I find that white cat cute.
