Today, I came across news that Asami Tohjoh, creator of Denkou Sekka Boys, Love Prism, and her only translated work, X-Kai, has passed away<\/a>. Subscribers to the Japanese version of June received mail about the artist’s passing. It seems that she has died of an illness, the publisher really didn’t detail out to fans on how she died. Her current works will still be published however they’re not so sure about those which were still in production.
\nIt’s sad losing mangakas like this. Asami Tohjoh is not a personal favorite (not a fan of her style) but she is one of the few popular BL mangakas of her time, along with Yamane Ayano. I hope she rests in peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
