I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Shit! Damn it! Why?! HOTD was buried with him! May you Rest In Peace. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Aww...that's sad to hear, R.I.P Satou Daisuke No more absurd jiggle physics? D: |
 |
| I've read both Koukoku and HoTD, it's a real shame he died. RIP. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| RIP ;_; HOTD finally put to rest. |
 |
| Never heard of the guy but I've seen HOTD, RIP, at least this guy seems to had a good reason for putting the manga on hiatus. |
 |
| The final nail in the coffin for HOTD. Feel bad for all the hate he got these last years. RIP. |

Symphyon said: well its just that most of the comments on its profile before his death were people really impatient saying that hes lazy af and all sorts of stuff since he never really gave some news about HOTDDatRandomDude said: The final nail in the coffin for HOTD. Feel bad for all the hate he got these last years. RIP. Regarding on that, can you give me a bit of summary of the hate he got, like was it here or generally? since I saw you mentioning it previously so I don't really have much of a clue over there. |

Silentcid said: Maybe HoTD didn't die with him. His brother is the one who drew for the manga. He could continue on with it since it was only Daisuke who was the major roadblock of the series. Souji Satou does the series Triage X. He's the illustrator though. Illustrators are replaceable. Writers are also sometimes get changed/replaced. But the story won't be the same anymore if ever he continued it. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| oh crap, this is sad... |
| This is sad... Rest in peace. Highschool of the Dead was super cool and I hope his brother can continue the series because it will sell a lot for sure! |
 |
| I've read both series before and actually fond Highschool of the Dead to be pretty entertaining. RIP. |
 |
| oh, rip... just hoping his latest LN translated somehow... wonder why he prefer that than HoTD... neglecting the ecchi stuf, it still really entertaining survival series... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Well, shit. I really enjoyed reading Highschool of the Dead. I was hoping he'd pick it up again, but that hope is now gone. RIP in peace. |
 |
| Great people always die young, although I never watched HOTD I heard it was pretty good. Hopefully his brother gets in touch with a studio in the future to finish the story. |
 |
| I WAITED SO MANY FUCKING YEARS. SO MANY FUCKING YEARS AND THIS IS WHAT I GET? |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| Sad to hear it. All the best for the family in this difficult time and R.I.P. Daisuke-sensei! |
 |
| Awww that's so sad. :-( I give my sympathies to his family, because I lost my grandpa recently as well (he died on the 18th). |
| while my heart goes out to him, I hope his brother Souji takes this opportunity to give HOTD a ending deserving him his brother. |
| Damn HOTD was the only one ecchi manga I liked. RIP our amazing human. ;; Amrael said: I never watched HOTD I heard it was pretty good. Anime is actually shitty but manga is really, really good. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Rest in peace sensei,the story was very enjoyable till the hiatus,thank you for your hard work on HOTD,it was good while it lasted... |
 |
| Now HOTD will never be finished :( RIP. |
 |
| i'm sure his brother will continue this series.. to fulfill his last wish.. the ending of High School of The Dead |
 |
| This is sad :( For years I've been hoping for HoTD continuation |
 |
| R.I.P. I hope the artist (is he his brother?) continues the series as a tribute to him. |
 |
| Thank You and R.I.P. |
| Wellp no hope for Highschool of Dead continuing then.. |
 |
| RIP and thanks for such a great time whit Highschool of the dead, i will rewatch this great series whitout doubt. REST IN PEACE AND THANKS!!! |
 |
| Sad to hear it. This man definitly made something that has a special place in the anime/manga community. |
| Really disliked HOTD, but regardless of my personal feelings, it's always sad to hear that someone has passed away. And he wasn't even that old either. RIP. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Always sad when a work ends up being unfinished due to external circumstances. My thoughts go out to his family. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Whoa didn't expect this. I just wanted to start HOTD... May your tamashi rest in peace. |
| ok :p |
| Damn at 52? Rest in peace. |
| He was too young to die, Rest in Peace :( |
 |
| R.I.P. I didn't watch the anime but it's always bad whenever a work ends because of cases like this. |
