I've never heard of him until today but Mr. Takagi sounds like he was amazing fellow. May he rest in piece.

Tragic news indeed.

Just to point out, only four chapters, not five, of 2202 have been released. Chapter 4 is currently in cinemas.

He will be missed. RIP

Hopefully this doesn't effect the ongoing Yamato 2202 negatively.

Haven't seen much of the stuff he worked on, but as far as I know his scenes were really nice and detailed. Here's an example: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/39180

I wish I could've seen more of him in the future Sad

What terrible loss. Mr. Takag will be sorely missed. I hope his work with Yamato 2202 helps to cement his reputation as good and talented artist.
