The manga for GANGSTA is coming back after years of hiatus due to the author contracting lupus which made her lose an eye and left her with partial paralysis in her hands.Frankly it's incredible she's even still drawing periodhttps://x.com/Bunch_Shincho/status/2047512424258142263https://x.com/go_kohske/status/2047512533565903139
>>287667990>due to the author contracting lupus which made her lose an eye and left her with partial paralysis in her hands....what the fuck?
>>287667990as the only person who watched the anime, I am happy.
>>287667990God damn. I wish good luck to the author then.
>>287668334Second, I remember the rumors of her health problems but nothing like this.
>>287668334. How far did the anime go? They should adapt all of it, sounds like she could use the money
>>287667990What the fuck.She's a fucking Terminator that she returns after all of this. Congrats to her, I really liked that series.She can now cosplay as another one of her autistic super soldiers from the series, lmao
>>287668843>They should adapt all of itManglobe is kill, so the production committee rights need to be sorted out and then found a new studio willing to adapt a very niche manga.
>>287667990It's always lupus.
>>287668785She's said so herself:>Since there are many inquiries, I will introduce myself again. I'm manga artist and have systemic lupus erythematosus. Due to complications, I lost one eye. I also have paralysis in my fingers, disorders in blood vessels and internal organs. I'm still working, but it's much slower than a typical manga artist, and updates are irregular. This account publishes illustrations drawn as part of rehabilitation. The whole picture of the illustration is available for a fee on "FANBOX". I prioritize my health over work, so I want you to leave me alone. I'm crazy now to enjoying life with the my little birds.
>>287668334autoimmune disorders can be scary shit
>>287668973So she lost an eye before started Gangsta and that was used as fuel to create Worick or it was just the life being a bitch with her?
>>287668843Gangsta killed Manglobe, well, actually it was the last adaptation they made.
>>287668973Returning to a serializable after that is really a display of sturdiness and passion. Where is your excuse, Togashi?
>>287668334That's one of the most depressing where is your god now sentences I've read
>>287668973Good fucking lord. She's a trooper.
>>287667990>>287668973shame the story starts with a whore apologism, dropped it right away
>>287667990Just give me my revenge for what happened to Connie and Marco. It's not normal how I still feel the lack of conclusion after that page.
>>287668973>I prioritize my health over work, so I want you to leave me alone.I knew nothing about this woman before today. But now I respect the fuck out of her.
>>287669473I wouldn't call it whore apologism. Pretty much all sex in the story that isn't between two committed lovers is framed as unfortunate at best and horrible at worst.
>>287669751>main girl is a prostitute but she's actually heckin wholesome sweet personyeah no she should've just been at the beginning to introduce the heroes before the actual main girl who isn't a whore shows up
>>287669819Being a whore is considered a terrible thing for her but more importantly, the series would be absolutely obnoxious if the main heroine was a pure sweet girl living in this city of murderers and prostitutes with two men, one of whom is a prostitute himself and the other a drug addict.The only possible ways it could go at that point are a female wish fulfillment power fantasy where she's always right and magically fixes her dudes, or horrific suffering porn where she see her abused to hell.
>>287669819Did you miss the main guy is actually the whore who continues with whoring while she becomes a glorified amnesiac secretary? Worick is canonically the most clinical male prostitute ever written. Doug should have been the second protagonist and Nicolas should have been seen through his or Nina's eyes.
>>287669869>>287669918>she's just a product of her environment and upbringingThat's whore apologism. And don't be a faggot, men and women are not the same. Being a manwhore is nowhere as disgusting, especially for a character that's meant to be rooted for by readers, normally speaking.
>>287669961>Being a manwhore is nowhere as disgusting, especially for a character that's meant to be rooted for by readers, normally speaking.Proving you've never read Gangsta.
>>287669961His fat momma who abandoned him with the abusive nobility dad who burned his eye with a cigarette is the madam
>>287669473That's what bothers you and not the alleged love triangle? Plus if you dropped it go back to whatever plebian normie battle manga hole you crawled out of. Berserk, I'm guessing?
I watched a bit of the anime. I didn’t like eyepatch guy. Does the main girl bang him?
>>287670086She's in a love triangle??? with the two dudes but the giga hiatus means there isn't any real progress. If I had to place a bet I think she's much more likely to end up with the Chinaman though.
>>287670107Gross.
>>287668843The studio shut down and the publishers didn't make another deal since she was on long hiatus, presumably if it ever finishes they might. The manga even has a spinoff on Marco's childhood that should receive a full spinoff anime. I wonder if Tsuda Ken will be able to pull off Nicolas again the amount of work he put into it
>>287667990I want an anime reboot.
>>287668973>checked her recent fanbox entrywhoa despite her health, she can still draw like this
>>287668492You are (not) alone.
>>287668492>>287670282watched the anime when it was coming out, it isn't that good, some of the elements are cool but a bunch of other things arent, specially the whore but also that lesbian that leads all the other dudes or wherever the fuck it was
>>287667990The only thing I remember about this (more specifically, the anime adaptation since I never read the manga) is the hot dark-skinned girl. My kingdom for a wife that looks just like her.
>>287668334lupus is something youre born with not "contract"
>>287667990Was that manga even good? I watched anime only and it was like black lagoon but with "everyone will die" vibe. And the fact one of mcs died at the end of the anime didn't add point to it
>>287670845Kohske's art and panelling were quite unique and beautifully gory when it was being serialized. Theres been a huge saturation of this type in the decade since. It was an experience in a way the anime didn't capture the effects to the same extent. The most memorable scenes in the anime were fight scenes. The manga had a huge range from moments of tenderness to action, powerful silent motion, etc. The extras added to the vibe.
>>287667990I remember when this was a thing
>>287667990Ganbare, author-chan!
>>287670280Is this just an OC character or a Gangsta character? She's hot a fuck. I love the way this woman draws female characters.
>>287667990Damn, good to see her back then.
>>287668973She's apparently feeling better now, to the point she can exercise sometimes.>At the moment, rather than the illness itself, most of my difficulties come from physical issues such as blindness in one eye and paralysis in the fingers, and then there are also frequent high fevers caused by the inflammation.>I can’t work in the same way as a healthy person, but thankfully, there are days when I feel well enough to even do proper strength training. I live pretty happily with my Java finches.
>>287668973Other mangaka get no excuse now.
>>287667990Now I feel bad the anime didn't do well and even killed the studio.
>>287667990>[Sad News]
>>287668334wow i did not know japan had wolves
>>287674614Manglobe was losing money even before Gangsta. I even would blame trying to produce the Genocidal Organ movie and Samurai Flamenco over Gangsta.
>>287667990>lupusThis vexes me
>>287667990wow, I came to terms with the series never ever being completed and the author likely dying too cause I remember the news of them being terminally ill like a decade ago with no further updates since. I'm glad they're okay.
>>287667990this isnt too surprising. despite her eye loss and paralysis, she draws a lot of pixivfanbox especially the gangsta cast. really happy shes back, the manga seemed to be reaching the climax from what i remember
>mangaka loses an eye and her hand is fucked up>anime adaptation killed the studioDid she make a contract with a demon or something?
im gonna dump some gangsta art from her fanbox
>>287675721
Do i remember correctly this suddenly introduced magical powers?
>>287675781
>>287675803
>>287675834
>>287675545> Still drawing Connie.I feel personally taunted by this.
>>287667990I thought she hated the story after people pissed her off with constant: when next chapter? Next chapter when?
>>287675721Now I wish she'd draw white-haired dark elves
>anime adaptation flopped and the author lost motivation
>>287674721you'd know this if you watched more Precure
>>287669961That's because you are not fucking a dude nor you want to control him.
>>287668973>>287672845She sounds like a fucking beast, good for her
>>287677318She didn't lost motivation retard. She almost died.
>>287668334Meanwhile Togashi: sorry, back hurt. I will play DQ instead.
>>287674811House hakase...
>>287679354at least we're definitely getting chapters this year and we know he's actually getting out of the house.https://x.com/HxHSource/status/2035190268664672371
>>287668973Man...
>>287668973Absolute legend
>>287667990o shit
>>287677318Stop avatarfagging with cats
Can sheltered Japanese even write convincing gangster shit?
>>287667990I only saw the anime and didn't know it was written by a women but it makes since with how women act in the story.
>>287685522Human?
>>287672364>>287672376Holy bazongas! Was she this busty in the manga?
>>287687455I guess?
>>287667990Crazy to hear this. It had been so long, I thought the mangaka died from her illness.Glad she's doing okay.
>>287670282You are not alone but I wish you were
>>287688843I don't think her current condition counts as doing okay
>>287669473>ZOMG A SEINEN WITH NOT GOOD SEX EWWWWW
With stuff like this, I wonder why they don't hold internal contests or something to help them make the manga.Surely some assisstants could become main illustrators?
