He was clearly influential in bringing something new to the ecchi genre.

Rest in peace. Sensei :(
Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that.
It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose.

Fuck. Didn't expect this at all, I was kinda hoping he was just lazy and would bring back the series eventually.

What does happen to a manga when the author suddenly passes away? Can someone else continue it or does it just end without any conclusion? I don't even know if I would want it to continue if it wasn't the original creator at the helm.

RIP Daisuke-San.

depends on the circumstances, in some cases its done with no chance but then there are others for example The Familiar of Zero was just finished by another after its author died several years ago. it was done by using the left be hind notes and, rough drafts and final words left by the author. This series has a similar chance since this series like there other series Triage was a team effort between brothers in the case of triage the other was the main guy and this guy was the backup and in the case of HSTD its reversed, So there is a chance his brother could finish it.

Now I kinda understand that he might have not been in good health to be able to do much.

Hope his brother gets the desire to continue HOTD...

I have the original 7 volumes. This news brought me here and I found out only now that Yen Press published the volumes in English. Gonna definitely get those.

Rest In Peace

It's always sad to see a mangaka go without being able to see the end of their own work.

RIP.
