That poor family.

RIP Yu Asai. I also wish for Motoyuki Asai to recover.

Can’t believe the amount of losses we been getting the last 2 weeks (plus the creator of Sexy Tanaka suicide about a month ago-ish as of this post). May they be in a better place. RIP

Yeah, the last 2 weeks has been quite difficult and factor in Akira Toriyama's death, that makes it much more worrisome for the anime/manga communities.

RIP Yu Asai and wish for a good and hopeful recovery for Motoyuki Asai.

Well, to paraphrase dialogue from "Cynanide & Happiness": If the world is hurt by the passing of a person, then whatever's on the other side is a better place by default. So yeah. They're all somewhere better, and I hope the friends, fans, and families of all the people who've recently passed will be okay.

A stroke, the death of his wife, and a serious bone fractures over 10 years.

That’s cruel.

A truly unfortunate situation. I hope Motoyuki, his family, Yu's family, and all of their friends can get through this horrific situation.

RIP
