Well the author of Solo Leveling is still alive, it was the illustrator who passed away but yea it's still super sad that he died. When I saw the message for the first time on Tappytoon I cried. He's such a talented artist. Talk about unexpected
Thank you for that clarification because I thought it was the author. My condolences to the illustrators family, such a skillful individual R.I.P
No worries!! I'm pretty sure I thought the same as well but then I ended up looking it all up cause I wanted to know how the illustrator had passed
I cried so hard when he passed away, right when it was done and his dream of it being anime. My heart goes out to his team and family, and was glad we got something wonderful while he was still here (=・ω・=)
