"Fans of Japanese light novel author Tomohiro Matsu were saddened to hear of the Fukuoka native’s passing away on May 2. Not only had Matsu had been enjoying repeated cross-media successes, with both his "PapaKiki" and Mayoi Neko Overrun book series both being adapted into anime and manga, at just 43 years old his death was sudden and startling."
I didn't know about this until now. Damn.
At least he went out in style.
Why would you place that underneath the earth when it looks so cute
>>141389531
I thought they cremated it.
Well at least his daughters will not be adopted by a LN progatonist.

I will start to think there is a anti-manga/anime Kira out there, too many deaths at young age
>>141389459
Who won in Neko?
That's pretty sad. I wonder who drew it on the coffin?
>>141389784
Japan typically does. I think that's just for a showing.
What would you put on your coffin anon?

The original artists.
>>141390409
You can pay for it.
Kids have sonic coffins and other shit. Fuck if you're that cheap, just get a stencil made now and leave your will saying it needs to be spray painted on your coffin.
I want pic related on my coffin. My final message will be smug.

Oh you.
But what would you paint on the inside of the coffin?
>>141389459
Attendees of his funeral also reported on Twitter that the OP theme of Mayoi Neko Overrun, Happy New Nyaa, blared on the intercom through the event.
>>141390372
:^)
>>141394007
This makes me want to play some shitty anime music that's really upbeat at my funeral just to cause emotional dissonance.
Or like initial D music kek
>>141389459
What's with LN authors and dying early? I mean, WTF. There was the Kaze no Stigma guy, and the ZnT guy too.
>>141394488
This is why NEETs should get more fresh air.

This, this is maybe the 5th time I've seen a link to their site recently. They're practically shitkaku/kotaku-tier trash, all most all click-bait.

We have had several threads, someone already inked Kotaku in a previous one.

One of the Rocketnews staff lurks on /a/.
The last time /a/ had a board poll going on, she linked the results to her rocketnews article.
>>141398260
It was a pretty sudden death.
And what is really spooky is that there aren't many chances for a manga or light novel illustrator to get a chance to draw on a coffin.
I wonder what Yabuki was feeling as he drew on a wooden coffin.
And I am extremely surprised that the cremation happened so soon.
You think the family would have demanded an autopsy which usually takes a week to do and the results to be process and analyzed after a month at least but this guy just died a few days ago and then gets cremated without mention of an autopsy.
I mean, if a family member of mine died so suddenly, I would kinda want to find out what killed him.
Was it a bad allergic reaction to something he ate or drank, a combination of medication that proved to be fatal, etc?
