Man in Sendai found dead buried in his manga
The Miyagi Prefectural Police have found a 37 year old man dead in his apartment in Sendai buried under several hundred manga and magazines. They’re currently investigating the case under suspicion that his death was an accident triggered by the Northeastern Japan earthquake on the 14th.
The man apparently had books stacked up to 2 meters tall on all sides and the police suspect that he was in the middle surrounded by books when the books toppled and crushed him, with the weight of the books pushing against his chest and stomach to cause him to be unable to breathe.

That is certainly one way to go.
For some reason I imagined stacks of dakimakura falling on someone. That wouldn’t be bad at all of course. How many of those would it take to kill someone?

I’m trying hard not to laugh at this one evn though I know it’s very wrong to laugh at it.
My condolences to the relatives of the deceased.

Wow, that’s rather tragic, I’m glad that my whole manga collection exists only on my computer…

“Killed by the thing he loved the most…”
Meaning it should be a happy death, right? :3
But yeah. There are definitely better ways to go. :P

Lol, I’m reminded of Seska from FMA (Just started the series yesterday).

just to think, the pen IS mightier than the sword. The last thing he saw was Goku throwing a “fireball”! Great way to go!

Who cares. That’s a lot of manga.
