Ero-mangaka SABE has died, at the untimely age of 41.
He was well known for playful and eccentric bloomer-centric ero-manga and (slightly guro) gag manga, being widely serialised in ero-manga magazines, and published in his own compilation manga.
Announcement of his passing was delayed by publisher Wani in accordance with the wishes of his family, but with the release of a commemorative manga edition the unfortunate news has finally been announced.
He apparently passed away earlier in the year (January 28th), so presumably there is some reason for the considerable delay in the announcement, though no further details seem likely to be forthcoming.
Below you can see some of his work, spanning his fairly lengthy career:
when you said laundromats does that mean with the attended or the unattended one. I thought Japanese like coin (insert anything that can be sell/use with coins)machine.
Is this the SABE from Suzume Robo on the Robot Color Comics?

Sad... dunno much about the H stuff, but it was my favorite story on Robot.
This man will not die, his spirit will live on in the hearts of true men! Men who value and know the true meaning of what it is to wear bloomers. Hail pumpkins! Hail bloomers!
I've heard there are a few rather unpleasant rumors floating around the Japanese web, brought to my attention here:

Apparently, chances are it was some kind of romantic suicide together with his (loli?) girlfriend...

I hope the mangaka goes on to find his bloomer heaven. ;__;
He would have to haunt a school for that.
One of the school's "seven mysteries".
But it's more likely he'd haunt the machines in a laundromat, since that would have the highest concentration of bloomrers per cubic meter.
In my ignorance, I'll ask: _does_ Japan have laundromats?
... "Mommmmmmmm! The Devil's in the dryer!!!!"
They are rather rare, and I am really not sure how many people actually use them.
What about....if he were to haunt a pair of bloomers?

The passing of a great man.Viva bloomers!!
I could just imagine his epitaph.
SABE
the late bloomer
Well done...that was brilliant. XD
hmmm, agreed...
Good night, sweet prince.
And flights of bloomers carry thee to thy rest.
are you gay?
probably
May the bloomers be always with him.
*clap clap* Namu...
RIP SABE, may he enjoy his unplanned rest. Nice tribute/slideshow there.
Truly, He was a God among Men.
Amen
wow I need to get a copy of オッパイ女 looks pretty hilarious.
looks like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. Its looks rather disturbing and dark.
You will always be remembered for your love of girls below the waste. Rest is peace, sweet bloomer angel.

Yeah, same SABE. I almost had to do a double take on the headline. There Goes Suzume Robo! was easily one of the best short comics out of Robot.
He will be missed.
I wonder if he was buried with some bloomers.
id be buried with some bloomers.
Hope he gets his 72 virgins...
This brave man deserves a medal. ;_;
I bet he's a big fan of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Master Wong,but anyway *clap* namu, namu.......I hope he finds bloomers in the netherworld.
"Don't think........feel the bloomers". LOL nice Bruce Lee quote.
SUZUME ROBO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
;_:
I keep getting these bizarre thoughts about him having been raped to death by a giant pigeon...
It reflects in his artwork, the guy in the last one looked menacing, in a creepy way.
Good night sweet prince ;_;
we have another one ó-o
Rest in peace. You've contributed great work of arts to the world already.
Oh those were the good times.
This man will not die, his spirit will live on in the hearts of true men! Men who value and know the true meaning of what it is to wear bloomers. Hail pumpkins! Hail bloomers!
Goodnight, artist.
Weird. I mean his style.
Reminds me of Shintaro Kago's guro mangas...
R.I.P.
noooo....who ?
anyhow, R.I.P....I guess...
Ecchi world has suffered a great loss... Still, may Kaizen and bloomers be with you, SABE! *bows*
BTW, was that Jackie Chan in that manga (+ Bruce Lee)? O_o
Poor guy, I hope his passing was quick and painless, no suffering...
RIP
BTW, Would love to see this stuff translated
Now thats some ero-comedist there,too bad he died.
the dark arts of ero-comedy.. can take its toll on one. i suppose.
RIP
stop being so stupiditly dramatic anons.
Most anon is also a sign of fail.
Having a regular screen name isn't a sign for intelligent and productive posts either. Exhibit A: MikeUSA, I rest my case. :P
Actualy im just fooling with the anons to see them response.
Can't really post anonymous on the forums ;(
Simple answer: don't post your name on here then. I have a different name registered to the forums than i use in these comments.
............................im GLAD hes dead! these comics are awful! @.@
Then don't read them troll.Other people would like to read them,like me.Stop pushing your morals on us,becouse that is just sick.
That was nothing to do with morals.
The style really isn't all that attractive.
Aren't those Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee in those comics?
yea i think there are Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and wong fei hong xD
damn... that's rough :<
Now what's with those rumors about strange rumors surrounding his death?
Also, LOL @ Sammo Hung on the Bloomer 200X cover...
So sad
R.I.P.
Zip, pleaze...
and nothing of value went lost
Good lord that's young :(
Any news on how he went?
