hmmmm it seems the mangaka might not be dead though. At least, death is definitely not the reason for losing interest in this manga. Invoke was released in 2003. Since then, the mangaka has published many other mangas including "Seifukusha to Kedamono to Boku" and "Bounty XXX," both of which were published in 2010.
Also, the mangaka's website still exists too, although it states that its suspended due to difficult circumstances. When I searched up the mangaka's info in English, Japanese, and Chinese, I only found that the artist was born March 30, 1965 and is currently 54 years old; no date of death is provided.
Could you please share where you found the info about the mangaka's death please? I'd really like to confirm it for myself so I can finally put this all to rest in my mind too. Thanks!
RIGHT this has been on my mind for years always wondering but i could never remember the name and i finally found it tonight after so much searching and seen it listed as "last updated 14 years ago"........i felt so old and so sad at the same time looool THIS WAS SO INTERESTING AND GOOD ESP FOR THE TIME can only hope mangaka-sama one day see's the potential and their interest reignites cri
The mangaka just lost interest and dropped it. but since 2013 I have been checking on this story. I love it
