This is terrible news. I always preferred the manga art to the novels. Cancer is serious business and I hope they manage to pull through.

If the manga artist isn't the original LN source material author, than why not give the manga to a different manga artist? It's not that unheard of when you take into consideration that Akira Toriyama doesn't draw the Dragon Ball Super manga and he's literally still alive.

The series simply may not be popular enough to warrant the effort. Alternatively, someone who has the authority may have not cared for it and took advantage of the situation to stop it. Unless you can see what is going on back stage there is no way to tell.

Pancreatic cancer... that's really unfortunate.

"The median survival for untreated advanced pancreatic cancer is about 3 1/2 months; with good treatment this increases to about eight months"

https://pancreatica.org/pancreatic-cancer/pancreatic-cancer-prognosis/

I'm glad the story comes from a LN but I feel terribly for the manga-ka.

Sucks all around.

This is sad I hope he/she manages to pull through.

From the article though, it sounds like this is just the manga adaptation though. The novels are the original source that the manga adapts from, written and illustrated by someone else, and are still ongoing.

Unfortunate news to hear. Almost 2 they've had it. I can only say keep fighting and I hope your family and friends make every day just a bit better for you.

This really sucks. It's not a total loss from a fan's perspective since the story is still ongoing in the original light novels, but to lose your career to a disease guaranteed to kill you is just wrong on so many levels. All the best with what little time is left.

I'm pretty sure the official announcement stated the manga was "suspended", not cancelled.
