We will miss you Yoshito Usui!

Yoshito Usui, 51, was the mastermind behind the cleverly written anime and manga, Crayon Shin-Chan. Yoshito Usui was reported missing last week after he had not contacted anyone for a few days.

Usui had met with his editors on September 7th and talked with them over the phone two days later, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary at the time. Authorities have determined on Sunday that Usui died from injuries sustained from a fall at Arafune mountain on the afternoon of September 11th.

The TV Asahi station said in a public comment that it thanks the creator for all of his achievements in his life and expressed the staffers' "condolences from our hearts." The staffers added that they wish to decide on the future of the television anime series after first discussing with the people involved. The anime series had already been on a previously scheduled break until October 16th, but a decision has not been made on whether a new episode will actually air on that date.

Yoshito Usui had submitted 2 more chapters for the manga before his untimely death, as well. For those of you you have not experienced, what is one of my favorite anime/manga of all time, do yourself a favor and check out Crayon Shin-Chan. You want be disappointed! We will miss your genius Yoshito Usui.
