1/1/11! hope it's going to be a better year for everyone!
Yeah, it's one of the cool dates. Hope everyone started the year on the right foot... I really hope this year is going to be way better than 2010, because that year pretty much sucked for me :/ (there's no point in making a pros and cons list... it was all cons)
on even more troubling news, I've seen this tidbit about Minekura-sensei, one of my favorite mangakas, on MAL:
I knew her manga were on hiatus for a while, but I had no idea it was because of something this serious. I'm so glad she's making a recovery and hope she's going to make a full recovery, as much as possible. She's just so talented and Wild Adapter and Saiyuki are among my favorite series ever. It would be sad if she weren't able to finish them, so I hope she'll be able to resume work on them eventually, however long it takes. They are her life work, definitely. Well, I hope 2011 will be a positive year for her as well!
Take care of your health, everyone... and I should start working on improving mine >_>
on even more troubling news, I've seen this tidbit about Minekura-sensei, one of my favorite mangakas, on MAL:
According to the official blog, mangaka Minekura Kazuya had a tumor surgery and left the hospital. She was diagnosed as having an ameloblastoma and had the whole right maxilla removed. She has recovered the health but it will take long until she can resume working on manga. She permanently lost the skin sensation of the right half of the face and has a great difficulty in eating, drinking and speaking. She thanked the fans for sending Senbazuru origami, which filled her hospital room and encouraged her when she was suffering from the pain and the distress.
She lost her whole uterus in 2007.
