And there it is. The 3rd passing away article. Unfortunate she passed away like this, especially at 50. Nakajo was cultured. I hope her family and friends can get through this.

RIP

I wonder what she thought of She's The Man. R.I.P. Also wonder if it'll get an anime...Hana-Kimi, not STM.

Holy frick, this comes on the tail of me about to rewatch the first live-action series again. The manga was a hugely formative shoujo for me in middle school and high school. Nakajo-sensei, I wish you peace and I hope your legacy continues to live on in your work. Thank you for everything. ):

This hurts to hear, Hana-Kimi was one of my favorite first shojo series. May her legacy live on, and her family find peace.

This is really sad to hear, Hana-Kimi was the reason why we have several TV drama adaptation coming out of Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Her passing away will be not only be felt by fans of the manga, but also fans of these TV dramas.
