The official site of Gangan Joker magazine announced that the author of Inu x Boku SS, Cocoa Fujiwara, died on March 31 at the age of 31. The cause of death was not revealed. Her debut was a work titled Calling, which she made when she was only fifteen. She chose not to go to high school so that she could draw manga. Fujiwara was a big fan of RPGs such as Final Fantasy, which was quite evident in her works. Fujiwara's most recent manga, Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shite Ita., is currently being serialized in the magazine, and the last chapter was published on March 20 in the April 2015 issue. Plans for the manga's tankoubon release, as well as unpublished materials, will be announced later. Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shite Ita. recently tied for 19th place in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2015 rankings.

RIP I just read a new chapter of Inu x Boku SS earlier today too. So young :/  |
another one she was a very nice young lady i met her a few times in the patten of my work interviews and such for at the time over ten year pro she was very humble not like from what iv heard other manga ka over ten years pro are "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one For the Union makes us strong |
Ouch, and so young as well. RIP. Weekly light novel releases (from 20/10/2014) Monthly light novel sales ranks (from Jan 2015) Bestselling light novel volumes of the year/all time* (and more in the same club). *that there is data for There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
This is very sad news especially for someone so young and talented. RIP. bla bla bla 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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
May you rest in peace, sweet princess. Thanks for your hard works. |
Always very sad to hear about people passing away so soon. |
Oh my god.. She dies at the Age of 31? She's so young :(( RIP Fujiwara-sensei!  |
Respect |
Damn, she was so young... Sad news. Rest in Peace. |
This is quite sudden. May she rest in peace. Her last post on Twitter was a view from her parents' house when she went home. It has been retweeted almost 4,000 times as of this post. |
A pioneer for creating the first ever tsunshun in anime history which was done well with that of Riricho. Truly a sad day. I kind of teared up about learning about this. Whenever someone dies young, and someone extremely creative like that and one who started her career at such a young age, it makes me feel unsettled. Condolences to all of her loved ones. I'm sure she meant a lot to them. Rest in peace and enjoy yourself up in heaven, Fujiwara. Modified by Rinshan-san, Apr 8, 2015 12:27 AM "If you died, would anyone care? Would they really care?

That was sad news. RIP. :( Loved her works. |
NUUUUU No more hope for Inu x Boku SS S2 ;____; RIP sensei 「友達なんていない。人はすぐに裏切るし、学校っていうのは誰かを標的にしないとやってられない馬鹿共の集 まり。ままごとみたいな役決めて、仲のいいふりして都合が悪くなったら知らんぷり。そんな奴らと仲良くした いとか全然思わない。」 |
RIP Sensei :(  |
That's so sad, such a young age and all... Pandora hearts broke my heart |
Sad to hear it, Inu x Boku SS was pretty enjoyable.  |
Oh no and only 31 too. Thank you for Roromiya. (The post three above mine is sickening btw.) |
She was way too young. RIP |
I've never read any of her stuff but it's still really sad that a mangaka died :( at such a young age too. Rest in peace sensei :(  |
RIP sensei. "Even if there's a wide world and stories beyond the main focus, I don't think it's necessary to end with the protagonist having been involved in everything." - Yagi Norihiro |
RIP. 31 years old. So young... |
I am shocked and sad... I really liked her Dear and Watashi no Ookami-san... Also her Inu x Boku SS (I only watched anime of that) was very nice as well. Her new manga looked interesting too, but we will never be able to get more of it. She wasn't that old either. Really, life is unpredictable... R.I.P, may you find a place in heaven.  |
aLotQuestion said: Most probably fake. Just like those artists. Before they die, their artworks pretty much rubbish; but after passed away, their artworks value skyrocket. I think it is some sort of business strategic to fake her death in order to make her works value higher. I mean we don't even know how she looks like at all. What a f*cked up thing to say.  |

Well this sucks, she was so young.I enjoyed Inu x Boku SS anime, and first few chapters of Katsute Mahou Shoujo were a really fun read imo so i was kinda looking forward to future chapters. Anyway, hopefully she's in a better place now.  |

Pretty sure you'll fit in with that attitude of yours. "If you died, would anyone care? Would they really care? Maybe, they'd cry for a day. But, let's be honest no one would give a shit.

Rest in peace :( I love Inu x Boku SS.. it's one of my fav series.. |
31 is too young...Was really shocked to see this news. Rest in Peace Fujiwara-sensei. Dear is among my favorite manga, and I've re-read it several times. Her artwork is really pretty too.  |
Rest in Peace, Cocoa Fujiwara-sensei.  |
Oh dear, it's always heartbreaking to see someone with so much talent die so young. RIP |
My condolence for her. I really like Inu X Boku SS manga. She was really talented. |
So, so young and talented. I'm thankful to her for Ririchiyo, who became one of my style icons. Rest in peace, sensei <3  |

I think it is some sort of business strategic to fake her death in order to make her works value higher. I mean we don't even know how she looks like at all. Mind what you say. Death is not something to be joked about and even if I can't deny there might be people like that I doubt it's the case here. She was way too young to even consider that. Her career just started and she left us too early... As to "we don't know what she looked like" we do. Fujiwara-sensei held a few signing sessions, one of them last year in summer in Germany and I saw her myself. Rest in peace, Sensei... |
RIP you died way too soon  |
Well, that's quite a shock, to be honest. It makes me sad to think that great young artist died ;/ RIP aLotQuestion said: Most probably fake. Just like those artists.

I think it is some sort of business strategic to fake her death in order to make her works value higher. I mean we don't even know how she looks like at all. Possible. I've heard few times It has happened before. But I dont think it is like that in this case.  |
