Never heard of her. I feel quite ashamed of that- it sounds like she produced work of substance.

Though I haven't heard of her until now, my condolences go to her friends/family.

There are lots of printed material and names that don't make it into ANN's database. There's just too many. Heck, light novels don't really get in here.

I've never heard of her either, which makes me sad. I'm definitely going to do some research on her though and see what I can find.

Rest peacefully.

It always pains me to see famous people like that die, the University just lost ( I'm guessing a good teacher ) and she was still young.

Alas. That is a sad loss for the manga, feminist, and intellectual communities. Condolences to her family.
