ComicREX have made the following announcement, which should ease the hearts of all those concerned over Kannagi mangaka Eri Takenashi’s grievous health problems, as well as the fate of Kannagi:
Regarding the hiatus of “Kannagi”:
We are aware that we have caused the readers of “Kannagi” a great deal of concern through the matter of its suspension.
Takenashi was abruptly struck down by a sudden illness shortly after the manuscript for the December issue of ComicREX was completed, and after this she was immediately hospitalised due to her critical condition; as a result, publication of Kannagi was suspended.
After this, she underwent surgery, which proved successful, and now her condition is favourable and she is moving towards a period of convalescence.
After the publication of the January edition of ComicREX, there were some reports to the effect that “Takenashi has ceased publication due to the calumnies she was subjected to”, but this is not the case.
Takenashi is currently hospitalised, but even so she has expressed a desire to move towards resuming her writing.
We hope that readers will be kind enough to wait whilst she convalesces.
The official announcement was brought to my attention by a comment left by BranGor, so thanks are in order.
That’s good to hear! Hope she get’s well soon!
Finally some good news
Glad to hear that. I wonder her sickness would affect the story or artwork?
That’s great news. Hope she gets back on her feet soon.
Best wishes for her.
I’m glad that she is recovering and that nothing more serious happened. I will happily wait for her to continue her work after she feels well enough.
Thank you, Artefact and BranGor, for the announcement and translation respectively.
Go Eri!! Show those fools (you KNOW which bunch I am refering to) what is a GOOD story!!!
yea and hope the eng scans come out fast =.=
Second that.
That makes me the third
4th 4 me….
I plead the 5th.
Ahh this is great news, thanks for letting us know. I hope she makes a quick and full recovery.
Thank thee oh magnificent all powerful being(s)! I be agnostic, so I do not know which of thee to prostrate under, but I still giveth mine thanks!
i wonder if the news every mentioned abt the specific sickness she got…what surgery she performed…and etc
while im glad that she is recover from her sickness…
but somewhere in my mind, i can smell “keikaku dori” coming from Eri
You’re quite right that they still left out any specifics. Sounds a bit extreme for a PR move, but stranger things have happened…
Glad to hear that it wasn’t anything related to Slutgate.
Awesome. Now if only the mangaka for D.Gray-man would get better :(
Good to hear that she’s making a recovery ^^.
yay! glad to see you well! more kannagi :)
Congrats to Sankaku Complex, you’ve managed to squeeze this poor woman’s tragedy for all its worth!
Actually, thinking about it, yeah.
It’s been like an update every three days, what nice timing her descent and recovery has had!
Nice to see you crawl back out from your hole there, Miha. Your objection to providing what the audience demands never ceases to confound.
Awesome news.
Congratulations, Takenashi-sensei! I don’t read Kannagi, but best of luck in getting better!!
*reads post*
*phew*
Thank God or Medical science!
I hope she can make a speedy and comfortable recovery.
I wonder if this will affect the drawing skill or story in any way…?
I smell alot of BS involved here. Where are all the details? Wasn’t it just yesterday or two that they just said she was so sick she couldn’t move. Now they performed surgery without saying what it was. Too much secrecy (even for privacy concern) involved here.
Well, if the hospital had just put her under anaesthesia at the time Kazuya Minekura’s posting, then she would’ve been unable to “move her body”.
I’ll give Minekura the benefit of the doubt here. It’s possible that we’ve just been misled by an ambiguous, overdramatized post.
I think the editors really invited this kind of speculation by not releasing enough unambiguous details, but what they have put out now seems reasonably convincing.
What if she had made a botched suicide attempt (I do not in any way way think this the case) – would we hear of it? No. That would be a “sudden illness” too.
Whatever the case, she seems to be on the road to recovery, so that is enough for now.
As long as she gets back to her job then I don’t care if this is some sympathy stunt or not. Not that I read Kannagi all that frequently, but if I recall correctly she’s still a staff member of Type-Moon, the faster they get that remake of Tsukihime out, the better.
how can you remake something that was never made in the first place?
A game called Tsukihime certainly exists. It is made of win and god. A remake of that with voices and better story graphics would be epic! And of course, you cannot forget a sacchin route!!
Now there are people who contend that an anime exists, but there is no such thing ;)
I have read Kannagi and i’m glad the author is on the way to recovery. I am a fan of the story, and while I can only read the scanlations, I look forward to this interesting work. The concept and character of the characters (especially Nagi) interests me.
forgot to add, as I’d expect of one who works in the epic win that is type-moon. Always able to create unique stories or characters, or better yet, both!
I think it probably was a serious illness requiring legitimate surgery, but they hyped it up a lot more than was really necessary. Without the “Nagi is a slut” controversy I think they would simply have said “The manga is going on hiatus due to health concerns” and left it at that, and made an announcement if the mangaka died. All this OMG SHE CAN’T MOVE GUYS THIS IS SERIOUS was only in response to all the “lol she’s depressed because of the slut controversy”
Personally I think the illness was probably something like appendicitis- serious, painful, requires surgery- but not life threateningly catastrophic cancer with a 90% chance of death or something.
That said, I’m glad the mangaka is well.
Lawl, second-hand crap is hilarious.
She’s a goddess for crying out loud. Why would anyone expect she’s a virgin? Its like saying C.C is a virgin.
Goddamn retards and they’re idol obsessing bs.
Agreed, it was most likely some sort of cover up scheme to get over depression or just some stupid illness. Maybe she had canker sores…
Yay for her!
Finally some good news. I hope she can pick up Kannagi in a near future.
Thank God.
Takenashi-sensei can take as long as she wants to recover – her fans will still be waiting for her after all.
GREAT SUCCESS!
SHE LIVES! THANK YOU GOD!
Bloodlust for the fail otakus on 2ch… fading.
Wow, what wonderful news! I was worried that Kannagi would forever stay unfinished. I’m so glad she’s better! ^_^
Hooray! Glad she’s going to be alright!
I appreciate that the author recovered, but I don’t understand what the hype is all about in regards to the actual story is concerned…
…it’s well-drawn, but just seems like more of that
“innocent, helpless girl depends on socially inept loser” crap to me…
Like any popular mangaka she will talk about it in author column or something like that in the next release probably.
Ah~
What a relief~
I’m so happy for this.
Excellent! I wish her well!!
Thank god for the good news! and thank god for those awesome doctors who performed the surgery to her \(^o^)/
Marvelous!
Thank godness she’s alright!! Whew!! Miss Eri, If you see this forum, I just wanna say Congrats! And don’t get depressed anymore!! Kannagi is a GOOD manga with unique storyline. Sometimes you just cannot help preventing those blockhead bastard popping out ya know. You cannot please every human ya know? There will be always challenge in life. The important thing is to remember that you still have fans who loved your work and wish you finished your work until the end.
Ganbatte kudasai!! \(^0^)/
That’s great to hear.
I hope there will be some news soon.
I pray to everything that could hear my prayer so she could get better,healthy and live a long happy life. And not because I would like to see more Kannagi, but beacause I am thankfull for what she has done, and I think she is a good person :-)
