We've lost too many good mangaka in the past to suicide. Too often do people choose to keep depression, and other issues, to themselves without talking to anyone. It always makes you wonder what works they could have come up with next if they kept pushing forward. I'm reminded of Chiyomi Hashiguchi (Nekojiru).

This is another sad day. His work is now considered incomplete at least Amane Atatameru but I wonder if he was under stress for not wanting to do this kind of manga. I wouldn't know if this is true or not; however, if you want to sell manga, novels or anything similar you have to follow the trends. Otherwise it won't sell unless you are very confident in the manga. On a side note, this death reminds me of how I was sad about Takahiro Yamato's (author of Kaze no Stigma) death. This is truly sad.

Thanks for your point of view; it's true that they have stressful careers. Yes. Suicide isn't always due to loneliness, but what I meant was that there's always someone there for you to lean on and talk to. You don't have to go through it alone.

The job of being a Mangaka is very stress full. While we may enjoy their creations it was very stressful of them as they are always on a deadline. You could say they are forced in position there at a point because not meeting a deadline is very bad. They didn't commit suicide out of loneliness they did so as an escape from the stress they have to face to make a living. I do pay my respects.
