Manga author SABE has passed away

burumaWani Magazine has announced that Sekai no mago author SABE has passed away on the 28th of January at the age of 41. His passing was not announced due to the wishes of his family, but Wani Magazine has gotten permission to release a memorial edition book so they announced it now.

He might be better known as a eromangaka to some people.

There were rumours about this some months back, I didn’t expect it to be true. The cause of death is not announced. It understandably would not be announced if the rumours were completely true…

    The only thing I read by him was his Suzume robo ga ike!! in Robot 1, and I loved it. I’m sad.

    But wait, if he already died back in January, does that mean…

    …that he didn’t die because of the banning of rape content in eroge?

    >>Narumi
    That he died in a double suicide with his new, much younger
    girlfriend. They were happy together, apparently. Gomeihuku wo

    Wait, was this guy responsible for the manga sorts in the one anthology book where different animals come from the future to try and impregnate a school girl?

    Yeah, that’s the one. It’s called Robot and they are up to volume 5 her in NA (translated and released that is - Oni has more translated but there is a rights issue going on now). That definitely sucks as I loved that manga short as well. It was so hilarious and ‘Japanese’ (the robot sparrow that disregards the girl for his new family). Just good stuff! Very sad about this. What eroge had he done?
