Oh my...
It took me a while, but I remember him appearing in Robot. He wrote the comic of the high school girl being guided by a sparrow from the future and warning her about other animals harassing her.
I got a kick out of that series, but I'll never know if it finished it's run in Robot.

I'm very sad to hear about this. It was too soon for him to go. Was it health complications?

Man, it is so sad, every single week hearing of artists so young dying... I would have liked to have heard about his works another way. I hope somewhere out there someone will at least make a web memorial and list all of his works.

That was my favorite part in the Robot series. The only comic in that series that wasn't horribly written or cliche.

41 is too young.

Yes, it's a whacky and stupid manga, yet very funny and enjoyable.

After visiting the gallery of his homepage I'd say he's a bloomer addict. Not exactly a bad thing though.

Yikes! I can't say I'm familiar with his works but it's a terrible loss to lose anyone at such a young age. And if he is a creator of apparently beloved art, all the worse. Crying or Very sad

41? That's way too young.

Sure are a lot of manga artists dropping like flies lately.

Goodnight sweet prince.

Never read any of his series, but that is young unfortunely.

Rest in peace. I hope the family is doing alright though, losing a family member is very difficult.
