is Nihei going to die too? Why do all the good mangaka die young?
Jonathan Richardson
A faggot that thinks snk is good needs no saving
Joseph Moore
i don't remember him saying that
Cameron Garcia
i think he meant that one tweet where nihei said his daughter told him to write an ending like snk or something
a tweet from like 2015

He's not doing so great.
>"The clock I bought half a year ago that should be on the wall ever since has disappeared. Quite a while later, I find it in the refrigerator, but since I had a divorce years ago, and I now live alone, I am definitely who did this. This is all this book cover's fault. yeah. The once completed drawing was returned to be redone by the editors just because the shoulder straps on Shibo's breasts weren't drawn well. It's been 4 days since I started this drawing. First of all, the first rough art I submitted was Killy and Dhomochevsky holding a gun, but the editors forced me to "just draw tits". 20 years of being a manga artist, sometimes I just wanna draw what I want to. But still, all I get is emails from my manager asking me for the direct opposite of what I want to draw. Then I get laughed at when I ask what "π/" meant, thinking it was a typo, getting asked how an active manga artist doesn't know what π/ means.((side note π/ means tit oppai->pai-->π)) On top of that, I get complaints about using too much gray and black for a color print, making me give Sanakan's skin color and drawing tits larger, both Shibo and Sanakan ended up looking nothing like the original art. Gradually as I continue redrawing Shibo's tits, I start tearing up as I realize my unworthiness. But I had no time to cry. Even tomorrow, I need to finish the cover art for my ongoing "Aposimz" series' 2nd book. There's another reason I feel like crying. Cover art doesn't make me money. Once when I asked why, I was hit with the grinniest grin ever, getting told that's just how things are. But I've heard in other companies cover art makes money. No, the rumor that other manga artists get paid for cover art in Kodansha... No, gotta focus on my work, for now, no time for bad thoughts."

That's so fucking hot.
Jonathan Young
A true sufferer. Forced to draw tits when he really wants to draw expressionless holocaust survivors and dystopian architecture

So Cibo's new bodies were just to appease these degenerates?

Being a mangaka sounds like it's a life of pure suffering unless you manage to hit the big time.
Jaxson Clark
Big time mangaka like Miura, Oda, and Togashi have it rough too. The Japanese work ethic favors the work and not the worker.
Luke Thomas
What is he working on that involves drawing Sanakan/Killy? Something like Blame And So On?
Jordan Brown
Around the time APOSIMZ was released, hardcover BLAME and other works of his started appearing in bookstores. I bought one.
Chase Bell
He was working on the cover for volume 2 of Aposimz years ago, user.
But to answer the question, his contract/management probably hasn't gotten any better. But we don't know, it's pure speculation. All we know is that he isn't even making a manga right now, instead working on the movie (which has a manga written by Nihei, but it's being drawn by different guy).
That's his daughter, user. And she was very young, so cut her some slack.
