I haven't read the manga, but this saddens me.

And there is another one in the ground.

Do we have a death count for the last 3 months?

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.

I feared that this would happen after the last update on his disappearance, so sad that these things happen...

R.I.P. Yoshito, you've made us all laugh at your quirky comedy style and cry at your touching moments in KSC, no writer/mangaka would ever be able to replace you.

I can't believe that. I thought for sure he just went away for some rest/inspiration and would come back without any trouble. Very upsetting. I'm not much of a Shin-chan fan but I know how popular that series is in Japan.

Agreed. The absolute worst year of this decade. Aside from that, I've never been a fan of Shin-chan but I feel for the poor guy.
