In a shocking and unexpected development, crazy shrine maiden manga Kannagi has ceased publication indefinitely. Fingers have instantly been pointed at the recent extreme actions of otaku “fans”.
The announcement, carried in the latest issue of ComicREX (where Kannagi is serialised), states that the health of mangaka 武梨えり/ Eri Takenashi is unsound, and so publication is to be suspended with immediate effect.
The magazine begs the forbearance of fans in awaiting further developments, but gives no timeframe for a resumption of publication, and gives no further information on what prompted the suspension.
Further details of publication are set to be published in ComicREX as they arise.
Since no specific reason for the “ill health” is given, speculation that this is related to the recent storm of criticism over the so-called “second-hand Nagi” issue is rife.
Some say that as the author is a lady, she may have been particularly upset over the recent fracas – whilst perhaps unfair, this does have at least a ring of truth to it. Certainly, with such maniacally excessive behaviour on display, few could fail to understand how the author might be affected.
Of course, there is the possibility of a genuine illness.
I am sure Kannagi fans will join me in wishing Takenashi a swift recovery from whatever ails her, and in cursing the wretched virgin hunting otaku who may be responsible. Let us hope Kannagi does not join the unhappy ranks of abandoned manga never to be resumed, or worse…
damn those fcking ohtakuns…
if dun like it juz dun see it…
So its just one person? Thank god. Was about to lose my faith in otakus. Thats understandable, there are lots of crazy people out there, otaku or not. Many who are much more crazy.
Curse the virgin-hunting otaku!!!
How could they ruin a great manga just because of their abnormal thinking?
Hope Kannagi will continue someday……
fucking dipshits.
damned otakus.
who the f♥♥k cares about damn virginity..
I agree with the otaku (being one myself).
We tend to love innocent characters, and Nagi has that innocent air to her, of someone that has never been in a relationship so revealing that she’s been married before is ”heartbreaking” to us.
But I highly doubt that the manga has been discontinued because of that, there are always ways to work around it, like revealing that its a misunderstanding or something. Lets just wait and see what happens.
I also would like to add that my mentality is of a Japanese otaku and not a western one.
You like innocent characters? Don’t you mean you like little girls you pervert
