If you didn't know Jun Maeda had gone missing, he cut off all contacts from the outside world and his Social Media.
This is just a hunch but maybe he got depressed after seeing all this Criticisms surrounding his latest work, and decided to do something that nobody knows off. I admit that this anime has its flaws and moments and it could had been better but I wouldn't say it was "BAD".

I thought Kamisama was really bad, probably the worst thing Maeda has ever written, but I'm not angry at the guy nor do I think he "deserves" to disappear like some people out there are saying. Hopefully he's just taking some time out to reflect on all this stuff instead of doing something stupid, people still like him and his works, they're just disappointed that this one didn't live up to his better material, but I doubt anyone actually wishes for him to just disappear.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Honestly, if social media is really tearing your mental state down, the best thing to do is avoid it altogether.

It's toxic af.

I don't blame him in the slightest. Hope he's okay though.

People on Twitter are incredibly toxic. I really hope they find him, I really loved Clannad as it's one of my favorite anime of all time. This anime may not have been the best but I wouldn't go as far as to harass him on social media. I pray they find him

Hope he's okay. I didn't think this anime was perfect, but it doesn't deserve nearly the amount of hate it's getting, and it certainly doesn't deserve the amount of hate that would make someone disappear.

He tried and failed, then what. It's nothing to get angry about as much some idiots go online. Yeah, he hyped this up as his most emotional work but failures are the part of life. No need to harrass. Showing disappointment and anger is ok though but in limits.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

I just learn that this guy went missing. Did they search the suicide forest?

Hope he's not thinking of doing anything stupid. I don't know how Japanese handle criticism and bad reputation, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Just did a bit of searching, according to ANN he's getting a book published next month.
The comments on the article are saying that the publisher took it off though so I'm not sure.

Damn, I liked Kamisama, not a lot, easily his worst work, but I really enjoyed most of it. Sad to see him disappear like that, hope he is doing well.

Kamisama sucked - but it's 100% better than anything I could write.

Hopefully he's OK and just avoiding the Trolls.

Keyboard warriors are the worst...

He's okay, just taking a break from publicity. He released a novel apparently so he's definitely fine.

I don’t like to post but if you read his Twitter a while back he nearly died from a heart condition. I guess he’s working again but who knows if he’s at full throttle. I imagine he needs to take care of his health. IIRC he needed a transplant. I’m just happy he’s alive.
