| shit, bad way to go out. |
| The poor man. Well, that's what you get if you don't buy their manga. Nah. Not enough eyesight to even continue drawing? Man, that's a bummer. At least it's due medical reasons, the only good reason to quit. |

| Worst way out... Well one of them. |
| That's a pity but its a good idea that the old man should have some rest.. |
 |
| Hope he enjoy retirement, he earned it |
