This just popped up on my TV just now... the author of the world famous Crayon Shin-chan series, Yoshito Usui was found dead in the mountains in Gunma Prefecture. Apparently, he was climbing in the mountains and fell down a cliff. However, the police are still investigating, as it could have been a possible suicide.
Really sad news. Crayon Shin-chan was one of the first mangas that I read when I first arrived here in Japan many years ago as an exchange student.
