Never read anything by her, but it's always sad when someone passes away. Especially when they were preparing something new to show the world.

With Hetakoi finished, hopefully she died without any regrets or lingering feelings. R.I.P.

People seemed to like the manga, so I think I'll check it out...

If I remember whenever I get around to reading Hetakoi, I'll read it honour of her memory. Or something. (Downloaded it in full after noticing on Bakaupdates it'd been finished a few days ago.)

B-Shock was funny. 8/10'd it at one point. Rich girl x average guy live-together hilarity. Chisa x Pon is a troll manga for males.

Seriously!? *sad* I really like her works.

Rest in peace.

Her passing is especially sad given her relative young age. Enjoyed her works, particularly Hetakoi. She'll be missed. RIP.
