Mangaka Kouji Miyata Dies at 34

In 2006, Miyata received an honorable mention in the 8th Enterbrain Entame Awards for his entry titled Jabara. He debuted as a mangaka later that year in the magazine Comic Beam Fellows! with the one-shot Neko de Tandem. Both titles were later added in the author's short stories collection, Utatane Hime.
He began his first serialization in 2008 with Kikimimi Zukan, which was published in Comic Beam. Miyata's most recent work, Yome ga Kore na mon de. (pictured right), ended serialization in July.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday at Dainichido Funeral Hall in Nishitokyo.

That's what happens when you are a comic artist in Japan working 14 hours a day with two days off a month. Good thing he finished his last series, this sucks when they die in the middle of the story.
Glad he died his manga sucks , no one's gonna miss you.
