Sakamoto Desu ga?' Manga Author Nami Sano Dies at 36

Manga author Nami Sano, known for creating Sakamoto Desu ga? (Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto), died of cancer on August 5. She was 36. Sano's family held a funeral on August 7 and 8. The announcement was made by Harta magazine's official Twitter on Wednesday. According to her family, Sano was battling the fast-growing cancer for a month. The comment from Sano's family includes an excerpt of the note left by the late author, which reads, "This has been a fun life. I'm going into a world where I will probably be freer. So long." Sano was born in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo prefecture in April 1987. She made her debut with the one-shot Non-sugar Coffee in Fellows! magazine in 2010. She then serialized Sakamoto Desu ga? from August 2011 to December 2015 in the same magazine, which changed its name to Harta in 2012. Kadokawa published the fourth and final volume in January 2016. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English and released the final volume in July 2016. A 12-episode television anime adaptation by Studio Deen aired in Spring 2016. Sano also serialized the Migi to Dali (Migi & Dali) manga in Harta from July 2017 to November 2021. The seventh and final volume went on sale in December 2021. A television anime produced by Geek Toys and CompTown is scheduled to broadcast in October 2023. Source: Oricon News
