May he rest in peace.

spoiler[Still pissed about the ending to Papa Kiki], but I'll let it go for today.

I just watched PapaKiki this past week after hearing the news. It had been on my "Want to watch" list for quite a while. This gave me a reason to check it out. It was a really sweet story. I don't know if he had a family and children, but I'm sure he would have been a good father.

Rest in peace. This tribute to him is so sweet and kind, it warms my heart. It's still so sad that he died so soon..

While I personally think that's bad taste for a coffin today, may he rest in peace.

A very sweet tribute to a wondrous novelist. It's still unbelievable that Mr. Matsu-san passed away so young... Sad

Nope. I didn't know that. I only watched the TV series. At that point it looked like spoiler[Raika was probably the best option. Not surprised he went with his little tsundere niece though, to be honest.] That actually doesn't change my opinion too much though, to be honest.
