| At least he finished the final chapters of his works. It would suck if he died with them incomplete. Rest easy, RIP. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| the guy literally overworked to death, and some people here are more worried about being able to finish their pirated chapters. MAL in a nutshell. |
