Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood."

Yeah, that was a freak/sick case, worse than the one that happened few years ago in the same university.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Mountain Climbing.. Goes Missing.. Working Cellphone.. No Answer?

Equals.. Dead?! D:

Shit.. that can't happen, mangaka's of anime/manga I watch/read can't die unless I die! D: If he dies, I'm glad Shin Chan was just a sketch manga with no serious storyline.

Yea.. some comfort after all. :')

Probably fell in a crack and can't get his cellphone and has survived so far eating bugs and drinking rain water.

Or maybe he is at a hot spring bath laughing at the situation.

Stuff like this has happened many times with manga-ka. They work themselves to death, and go crazy, or missing. The manga industry is a very harsh one

the manga version is rele good though... True it is just pure comedy and nothing else but it takes skill to make a life of a 5 year old interesting, especially when the series has been going on for quite a while

But more importantly, I do hope he is ok, though I wouldn't put it past him if it was a prank (as already mentioned by someone)

Man, it'd be terrible if he died so suddenly. His Shin-chan character's an icon in Japan. For Americans, it'd be equivalent to Matt Groening of The Simpsons and Futurama fame suddenly dropping dead. For that reason alone, I hope he's found safely. I've never cared for Crayon Shin-chan, but many MANY people do and this would just break their hearts.
