@RaizelX The manga she wrote has been adapted into a TV series. Maybe that's why she disappeared.

@sheam09 Which manga?

@Seiryu07 Ikemen Domoyo Meshi wo Kue. usa18 SFW pen name is HIGASHIDA Hajime. Still, I doubt this is the reason why the artist disappeared because one of their work got adapted. It highly likely the artist either dead or having some severe illness that prevent them from drawing anymore

@prevertedkid
Sleuthing shows she was still alive and well as of June 2022, which is a year and a half after she stopped posting on social media (she provided a comment on an article regarding said adaptation). Probably just busy with other projects?

@cutegyaru
Thank for letting me know, it great to hear the artist is still alive and well. Hopefully we will see more from her soon

Base +6, minnazzo +22

@cutegyaru She may switch to other jobs or behind the scenes work, such as storyboarding for a movie. Or just like any other artist who draws eromanga who stopped drawing eromanga and went on to produce SFW works instead.

yea, this seems like the most likely scenario

Let's pray she returns to the scene. Her works are really hot and he style pretty unique.
