Ugh, that sucks. Condolences to both the author and the fans that will never get an ending. |
| I haven't even got around the light novels yet. The author was so young as well. Goodnight, and rest in peace... |
| Considering how MM! is mainly about shounen masochism, how "the cure for it" had never been found, and considering that suicide is the leading cause of death amongst those who are in their thirties... I wonder how these people, who promote the weakening of shounens, don't kill themselves more often. They DO realize that what they're creating is counterproductive to Japan's overall image and efforts to rescue itself from its spiritual slump. Or, in a quick phrase: "A (young) guy who's taking crap from the opposite sex will end up taking crap FOREVER or until it ultimately kills him." If "death by negative self-energy" is what it takes in order for Japan to make anime and manga that's less pussified and frustrating; then all I need to do is to be patient, sit back, and watch. |

| D; Rest In Peace~ |
 |
| R.I.P. I really liked MM!, too. This is just saddening news. Anyone know the cause of his death? |
| RIP MM! was your greates work ...and thank you for giving us such a wonderful anime |
 |
| RIP I always find it weird to hear people die at such a young age. If someone is 60 years old and dies we say it's not old. But 30 is really nothing compared to that, it's too many years too early to die. |
| I never liked MM! but it's always sad when an author dies with unfinished work. |
| This is quite the unfortunate event. It's sad that he died at such a young age with unfinished work. |
| So young :( I loved MM! May he rest in peace |
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world. (ಠ_ಠ) |

herox3 said: Ishihara did it!So does anyone know how he passed away? |
  |
| Oh no.........RIP... Why are there so many people dying from the anime and manga industry!!!!!! |
| Sorry, Image unavailable. Only awesome people can see it. |
Gogetters said: herox3 said: Ishihara did it!So does anyone know how he passed away? Objection remember this One problem with that theory, he was a novelist and light novels can't be banned or restrict any further than they are currently under the YO. Although Ishihara can't be blamed for this, I won't rule out him having a hit squad set up or one that will be set up. Novelists make LN and full length novels both are exempt from his evil which means there is no basis in Ishihara killing him. I know he's completely evil but I don't think he would be killing novelists because according to the bill they are the vary people who can still publish their work regardless. hazama said: Oh no.........RIP... Why are there so many people dying from the anime and manga industry!!!!!! An investigation and study is really needed immediately. |

| I loved MM!. ;_; |
 |
| Rest in peace. |
 |
| Very sad news. 32 years old is too young for anyone to pass away. Rest in peace, sir. And thank you for everything you've done for the industry and your fans. |
 |
| Cause of death? |
 |
| This is very sad news :( TYVM for MM! I loved the anime. R.I.P. |
 "Victory means nothing. The fight is everything." |
| Q.Q i loved MM! such a loss for the light novel industry, he'll be missed >w< RIP |
| Wahhhh! :'( what a great man, what a great anime he has created! |
| I don't feel so sorry for him or the novel, but an story be incomplete is... horrible. |

| I really enjoyed MM!, I consider its opening (both versions) to be one of (if not is) my favorite songs ever. Characters were interesting, laughs were had, and great authors will be missed. I guess that means there will be no second season, but for now, rest in peace, you died too young. |

Gogetters said: Ishihara himself was a LN writer in the past. I see no motivation. Plus, Ishihara's novels were a LOT worse than MM could ever hope to be, and I wish I meant it in terms of quality.Hoppy said: That's exactly why he did it!

True most of Ishihara's LNs were rape and murder novels, even the most extreme hentai manga and LNs tend to be consensual and even if there is rape, it's a lot tamer than anything he's written. |

| I just know he did it though! Don't ask me how i just do! You do know i'm just "trolling" right? I don't actually believe any of the crap i'm spewing out. |
|
| Sad news. Didn't read it, but it's always a shame when a series is left unfinished. |

| RIP This world has lost a great author may their be someone equally talented to take the torch |
 |
| Rest in peace... |

| Everyone keeps saying that we'll never see another season or a true end to this story, but without more info I can't agree with that entirely. How much of the existing plot is covered in the anime? I've read that there are 12 novels, a 5 volume manga, and two side stories. Did the author leave behind any outline for future work on the project? Perhaps discuss it with his publishers or family/friends? Were there any co-writers or others who might have been intimately familiar with the story setting and characters? Did the animation studio, distributors, and broadcasters buy the rights for the series outright or was it on a case to case basis and author approval? Did anyone inherit the author's estate to where they could make arrangements for continuations based on partially finished writings or notes? I would be really interested to find some of these things out, granted it's possible I never will. |

| RIP |
| So sad to lose someone so good. |
 |
| Too bad that there wont be more MM! :( Its so sad that such a good author is gone :( RIP |
 |
