Funnily, my MAL said I watched this 5-6 years ago. I remember it being good, but I actually do not remember the story at all. Will probably watch it again when it returns.

Really misfortunate for the animation company to go bankrupt as well as the author to get several ill at the same time. It's like someone cursed him or something during an important time in his career.

I remember Rei Hiroe suffered also suffered from mental health issues (namely depression), which was one of the reasons Black Lagoon was put on hiatus. Manga is a very rough industry, so they tend to struggle with mental health more than other fields. Often due to the demands of the job.

Being a manga artist or author is very stressful, and they really put their time, craft, and energy into their work because it's their passion and basically apart of their life.
