but I'd be lying if I said stuff like With the Light doesn't offend me.
I'm curious: what about With the Light did you find offensive?

So: I have never read the series but wanted to wait until the story was finished. Can I read it with a never ending hiatus, or should I just keep with the tvseries?
I had the impression even slice of life manga had a plot somehow...

I had even managed to persuade my mother - who works with people who have a mental disability - to read With the Light and she'd been enjoying it thoroughly.
I imagine that it would be a "slice of life" manga, so it would have never had an ending in the same way as something with an actual plot would anyway.
Tobe had been quoted as saying that the manga would end when Hikaru (the 'main' character) had become a 'cheerful, working adult'.

i need to read volumes 3 and beyond in the yen press edition. >.>
to tell the truth, because of her series, i was able to tell that one of my cousins was autistic without them telling me. so it's sad to know that this amazing author is gone. D:
Though maybe your cousin wasn't self-aware at the time to be able to tell you that. I thinlk many children of the autistic spectrum don't usually know they are diagnosed unless someone informs them.
(not anime related, but the author of catch in the rye died this week, too.... poor creative people. ;.;
Dude, seriously? Man, talk about a messed up start with the new decade. First the casualties in Haiti, then Daisuke Gori, and now Tobe Keiko and J.D Salinger.

So it's natural that people show concern about her works more often.
It's a big loss to fans and of course to her family, common sense. I just checked yesterday, she fell ill and stop drawing last year, the course ran down hill so fast.
Part of the manga story had been serialized in TV drama in 2004.

I know this is two years later but a loss of a great person is never forgotten and I hope her family is doing well.
