Fans of novelist and manga author Daisuke Sato have been distressed to learn of his recent passing, with him sadly succumbing to ischemic heart disease on March 22nd after a protracted illness – and leaving many to wonder what will finally become of his unfinished magnum opus Highschool of the Dead as well.
Perhaps best known for being the co-creator and author of Highschool of the Dead, Daisuke Satou began his career writing novels that mostly centered around alternative history, with “Gyakuten Taiheiyou Senshi”, “Seito”, and “Red Sun Black Cross” to name a few.
Highschool of the Dead was put on hiatus in 2011 after Sato became afflicted with a rather deadly illness, seemingly leaving hiatus in 2013 with the release of a new chapter – however, Sato mentioned feeling uncomfortable writing a post-apocalyptic series after the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, resulting in no new chapter to date.
Sato was 52-years-old at the time of his passing and a funeral service was held by his family.
And nothing of value was lost.
RIP Great man. What happens after Highschool of the Dead? Kiss of the Dead.
DAW make the hottest ero manga / doujin. I don’t usually like mega boobs, but these are exception
Can be because nobody can say his girl characters look fat. He is skilled to have that kind of boobs in his slim characters and still keep their loos balanced.
…i mean looks…
is he also the illustrator? I hope DAW is not dead
That sucks. I loved Highschool of the Dead. The manga was silly as f♥♥k but I thought it was pretty self aware and the writing was nice. Rest in piece, bro. You left behind a fun and silly manga, but one many people enjoyed.
