Yeah, thats mybad, i know what you mean, i hope Ikeda is alright as well.

But because of what happened in Japan recently, the manga will probably be on halt for the time being, but i'm not worried about that, i hope for his well being.

If i remember correctly Ikeda's birthplace is Nichinan, Miyazaki, Japan. This is located at the southern tip of Japan, tragedy struck the northeastern part of Japan, Nichinan is pretty far away from what happened, so if Ikeda still lives there than hopefully he will be alright.
