Let's all keep his family in our thoughts/prayers. This is such a tragedy. And it is not the time to complain a manga won't be finished.

Yeah, rest in peace Usui. I absolutely hated how on other forums, all people cared about was "OMG WHAT'LL HAPPEN WITH THE MANGA?"

People seriously piss me off sometimes. Mad

How sad. I'd been following this for the last week, hoping against hope that he'd turn up.

Many condolences to his family.

Lately, many famous people have been dying. It's such a tragedy to see or hear about anyone's death, especially someone who's worked really hard in their career. Yeah it'll be a bummer for Shin-chan fans, but the most important thing of this is there is many people who love him dearly, and will pray for him.

I'm not much of a shin-chan fan, but I'll put this man in my prayers tonight.

His items fell 50 meters away from him... that's well over 150 feet. That's a pretty far distance. How could that be? Is there more to this story down the road?

How tragic. Sad

Rest in peace Sad

Your work has accompanied me through many lecherous pre-teen and teenage years.

Rest in peace and my condolences to his family, this was a horrible way to go. I think that I'm going to be hiking only with friends for the next few weeks, people forget how dangerous some of those trails can be.

The 90-degree cliff is 120m tall. A slight bounce on the cliff wall would significantly change the spot where his body or items landed.

Note the blue helicopter at lower left so you can imagine how tall the cliff is.

Ah, from the 100 to 300 meter report from earlier, I was assuming the drop wasn't as high as this photo indicates. That does explain the distance.

That's true, we really have had lost many celeberties this year, but no one saw the death of the creator of Shin-Chan comming. He was indeed a great manga creator. One thing we anime/manga fans know that today is a sad day for all fans. He will be missed

Not really, it could be simple demonstration of mechanical physic, showing just how hard the body was falling throughout the ordeal. Watching MythBusters has had its advantages. Smile

Now that the worst did occur, I will wish his spirit to be finally put to rest, so that his family can start the healing process of rebuilding their lives without their loved one. That being said, I also wish the editorial staff at Futabasha can go rot in hell Mad ,together with their insensitive comment of "future publication [of Crayon Shin-chan] is to be determined."

Maybe the reporter asked "any plan for Usui's titles?" and the editor replied "it is to be determined" i.e. undecided. It's a standard by-the-book answer; what would you say if you were the editor? I've seen reporters asking families of the dead "are you feeling sad right now?" so I wouldn't blame the editor at all; blame the reporter instead.

EDIT: fixed a typo (reported Arrow reporter).
