Manga Creator Hinako Ashihara Found Dead

Manga creator Hinako Ashihara, 50, was found dead in an apparent suicide, as reported by NTV News on Monday. She was reported missing a day earlier and discovered in Tochigi prefecture. A note was found.

Ashihara's manga career began in 1994, with notable works like Sand Chronicles, SOS, Forbidden Dance, and Piece - Kanojo no Kioku. Her passing is a loss to the manga community.
