Saiyuki/Minekura update
I think most of the people on my LJ/DW who read Saiyuki read enough other people to know this already, but in case not...
Minekura-sensei has a serious bone disease and is going into surgery before too long to correct some of it (it is incurable - treatment focuses on reliving symptoms).![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
snarp has translated her most recent blog entry about it.
There is also an LJ community,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
cranes4minekura, devoted to getting 1000 paper cranes folded and sent to her to embody the well-wishes of her international fans. The first deadline is, er, today, but it looks like there's overwhelming support for collecting more and sending a second batch later on, so keep folding!

Oh, god, Minekura, way to make me sob.
I wish there were more I could offer than prayer and paper cranes. Or that I could send her soup. Soup that can sipped through a feeding tube. :(
Between Minekura, Ai Yazawa, and the omnipresent reports of overwork and exhaustion in manga author's notes, I think everyone in Japanese comics needs to take a nice, long rest break and eat lots of fruit. It will give me time to catch up on my backlog!
