Does this really need to be talked about though? People die. Get over it? On this person specifically:
None of his recent works have even been translated. If "we" didn't care about his recent works why care about his recent death? He was already dead as he didn't produce anything (for us)
It would be one thing if someone of a currently serialized and popular IP gets isekai'd or someone who has been the founder of capeshit as a whole even if I personally do not particularly care for the genre. But this guy? Or Monkey Punch? Who gives an actual flying fuck. This isn't facebook. There's no point in virtue signalling here. I dropped the first movie of Kozure Okami when they didn't put the camera focus on the actors but on the foreground instead. Now that has nothing to do with the guy's death. But I just wanted to drop that in there.
