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.

Holy fuck. She has lost some very important things. I hope she can regain some sense of normalcy in her life despite all the hardship she's had to endure. Best wishes to her for her recovery.

That's a relief, just saying because with all the mangaka dying this past few months D:

We've been having so many cases of anime directors and mangaka taking long breaks from life that this news is so very refreshing.

In any case, I'm so glad that she's recovering, for a given degree of 'recovering'. I'm a big fan. <3

omg sounds scary. I knew the manga were on hiatus for a while but I had no idea it was because of something so serious >_<; I'm so glad she made it, I hope she makes a full recovery. Wild Adapter and Saiyuki are among my favorite manga ever, she has such a great talent for storytelling and her art is so unique.

I didn't know about her condition - what a shock. I'm glad she's alive and recovering, and wish her all the best.

Oh God, that sounds horrible. Hopefully she'll recover quickly and not have to deal with this kind of stuff ever again.

I often heard about these 1000 paper cranes in manga/anime; I'm glad she has some great fans supporting her at a time like this! :D
