>>290089406Known for>josei manga last 1 (one) volume>isekai liteRIPShould've made better manga.
>>290089552>was unexpected even for the author herself. For her family, the editorial staff, and everyone who had the privilege of working with her,It's the earthquake, right?
Fuck.
>>290089406RIP.So what happens now?Its not an adaptation of LN. The manga itself is the source material. But it's also one of those stuff that were an Author + Artist combos. The author is still around. Will they just drop the whole series entirely? Or will they continue the manga but under a new slightly name and artist? Just to distinguish the change in artist?
Why is there a mangaka dying every week?
>>290089582The earthquake caused a stroke now?
>>290089604guess they're abruptly ending the manga instead of replacing artist>no more hey, kid
>>290089639Anon, if got stroke, you wouldn't immediately die of it. Sure, stroke is lethal, but it take time to kill you. So, everyone knew that she had stroke, but somehow her death was unexpected? It's earthquake.
>>290089406Rip. Vermeil had awesome tits.
>>290089406Man, RIP.
>>290089701The unexpected could be her having a stroke and dying quickly from it, the manga was still publishing new chapters a month before her death.The average person takes few years to die after a stroke but there is still a big chunk of people who die in the first month.
>>290089604>>290089552>the chapter published in the July 2026 issue, released on June 12, 2026, will serve as the final installment.
>>290089559Such as?
>>290089906She made a lot of BL art fanart for Drifters

>>290089869That just means for the current iteration. There has been cases where an author-artist pair had the artist go away for reasons and the current serialization ended. But then relaunched a few months later with a new artist. And is for all intents and purposes considered a new serialization despite it pretty much just continuing where the previous one left off.What we don't know I suppose is if the author will take this route, or if they'll just let the series die like this.
>>290089406damn, I like her art too.
>>290090035>And is for all intents and purposes considered a new serialization despite it pretty much just continuing where the previous one left offExamples? From other cases I've known, they reboot the manga instead of continuing from where it left off. Adaptation is different case, of course.
>>290089406In terms of aesthetics, Vermeli always reminded me of Chess from Seraph but in MILF form. Other than that, it's fucked to hear that the Mangaka died so unexpectedly.RIP
>>290089406>>290089552Brain stroke rather than a heart stroke, which is more difficult to detect ahead of timeVermeil in Gold: The Failing Student and the Strongest Scourge Plunge Into the World of Magic manga artist Yoko Umezu passed away on July 7 due to a cerebral infarction. The editorial department of Monthly Shonen Gangan announced her death on its official website and official X account on August 12. https://us.oricon-group.com/news/9198/
>>290090085>Examples?One of the ongoing official Touhou Manga, Cheating Detective Satori.Volume on the left in pic related is Vol.2 of the manga story arc. But after this volume, the artist left for health reasons and another artist took over their place. Right is the next volume after the new artist took over, and obvious artstyle change aside, look at how the numbering labels it as Vol.1 again despite technically being the third volume in the overall manga story arc.And yes it goes without saying, but the "new" serialization pretty much just continues the story after the first two volumes.
R.I.P.
>>290090085Potion-danomi
>>290089406Looks like Yoko Umezu was a fan of the transforming into female genre aka gender bender as well as Hetalia and Touhou Projecthttps://www.pixiv.net/en/users/502346https://x.com/My0K0
>>290089406fucking helli really love how she draws her girlsRIP
Rip I like the tanned villain chick from her series
>>290090160Well that's adaptation where the company is the sole rights holder, a different case like I said.
>>290089406>>290089552Damn, a stroke is a horrible way to go. RIP.
>>290089630Stress and overworked probably?
>>290089406>>290090159I'm crushed. I wanted to see Alto and Vermeil be happy with a bunch of cute half-demon babies.Rest in peace Umezu Yoko. May there be plenty of BL and GB for her to read in the next life.
RIP
>>290089406Man...
>>290089406so the artist dies and the entire manga decides to fold without replacing her? wow alright. guess the volume sales weren't good enough to continue it so it seemed more respectful to just retire it
>>290089406Damn, RIP>>290089701No, it definitely can kill you quickly. I knew somebody IRL who it happened to. He was perfectly normal and apparently healthy, had a stroke and was taken to the hospital, but there was nothing they could do and he never woke up again, passed away within a few days. It sucks.
>>290091061same thing happened with hotd
>>290091339*almostsince the writer died and inazuma doesn't want to continue it out of respect
>>290089406RIP, I liked Verneil, it was a fun show and the girls were great. So sad the artist died too soon.
>>290090160IIRC the reason ginmokusei left wasn't just health but because of health reasons coupled to some relationship/stalking/harassment related reasons unrelated to the manga
>>290089406RIP to her.Vermeil had one of my favorite couples. I really wanted to see them be happy by the end. But the heavens thought differently. A sad irony, if I had to say.
>>290089406Nooooooooooooooooooo
>>290089406Im always sad as fuck everytime an artist passes away, i dont care how niche or bad they were, i think it's just depressing
The ONE manga where the main couple has regular, mandatory kisses and it's now gone.
>>290092332We're losing good ones this year
I hope it still continues with a new artist, I don't want to say goodbye to these two.
>>290089406Horrible news
>>290091344pretty sure inazuma said that he wants to continue it after he finishes triage x
>>290093588>he wants to continue it after he finishes triage x
>>290089406rip>inu x boku, katsute by fujiwara, also died early, gangan/enixhmm
nooo, sexy succubus onee-san!this was a fun one. RIP to a good one, hopefully you got your own playful succ to adventure around with now Yoko.
RIP, the only thing you get from these deaths is to discover new illness or ways to get a heart attack. Being a mangaka ain't easy on your health.
>>290089406I'm gonna goon to vermeil one last time to honor her works
>>290094197post some pages tooalso want to goon in her honor
>>290094969
Manga that didn't hold back.
>>290095483
>>290092449More than kisses too.
>>290089406well this is horrible newsfuck
>>290095483>>290095517
>>290099234>>290095689is the animu atleast half as good as the manga? seems like perfect low-budget season filler so I wouldn't expect much
>>290090191This is an LN adaptation though, they change artists all the time and the artists aren't original creators, Apothecary Diaries even has two manga adaptations running at the same time
>>290090085The only ones I know of are big franchises like Dragon Ball and Golgo 13 where the original artist made arrangements before they died
Goddamnit. RIP.
I'll always remember it for the pinkuck, the hagshota vibes and the fact they got brother and sister to voice characters fucking each other.
>>290090035anon, it's gonna be a HOTD situation the manga is done
>>290099414It's alright.
>>290095529womb kisses are still kisses
Man this is terrible, her art was great and all of the girls were drawn hot, we lost a good one. RIP
>>290099414It's nice
>>290089406The Japanese cold has strikes again
Too many are dying
>>290089630mangaka is one of the deadliest jobs in the world up there with flatbed and alaskan crab fishing
Mangakas should swallow their pride and use AI assistance
>>290089630Confirmation bias, mainly
>>290090720Or heck, full demon given what is happening to Alto.
>>290099414The kissing and love scenes are great.
Well this is certainly a gut punch. Still, I can't help but selfishly hope the author continues the series in one form or another. I really wanted to see where it ended up going with all the stuff it was setting up.
It kinda makes sense why the chapters where trudging along and started speeding up again. Maybe the artist winged it and finally collapsed.
>>290107330If you're talking about the translations, that's just because Manga UP is inconsistent with any series that isn't their top priority like Daemons
So sad
No wonder the art conveyed their attraction to each other so well. She was incredibly talented.
Who should be the new artist?
>>290089406rip
they still haven't fucked, right?
>>290107747They had heavily implied sex, see>>290095517They even do it again in the later chapters
>>290107747it's implied
RIP but i think it's kinda funny when you google her age and there's a varying report ranging from 31, 33, 36 and even 47
>>290107826I'm pretty sure their first time was in chapter 38, where after another serious makeout session Vermeil says she loves how things are but wants to be "even happier"m Alto agrees and we next see them under the covers. Then she is all sparkly in the morning.
>>290107915yea, plausible deniability, but anyone could understand that
>>290107915He walked her under the covers gently
>>290107747>>290107915*CREAK*
>>290108526He was re-adjusting his hips so that he rested it on top
>>290089406Really? Damn. Rest in Peace.
>no second seasonWell that's understandable and obviou->manga artist diedFUCK, all the bad luck
I really hope we don't get too bad a downgrade if they do decide to keep it going.Worst one I've ever seen was Chou Nankan Dungeon
