With only one volume left, someone has to finish the job (then again, HOTD, which still isn't even halfway done, still needs a new author to finish the story, and the mangaka's friend who made a vague statement about it "not continuing" does not have the final say; only the publishers do, and so far, they've said nothing (heck, even before the mangaka passed, the publishers hadn't been saying anything about HOTD's future since its delay)).
The show must go on. Last edited by BCMan5388; 2024-09-19 at 07:39. |

Many unfinished works of all kinds continued despite the creators' death. The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy are still around today, even though Mark Goodson, Bill Todman (creators of TPIR) and Merv Griffin (creator of WOF and J!) are no longer with us. Nintendo continued supporting the Game Boy, even after the passing of its creator Gunpei Yokoi. The same company even continued development of the Nintendo Switch even after Satoru Iwata passed on. Why should the mangaka of HOTD (a manga/anime with a strong, loyal and still-ongoing fanbase) be any different? But like IS, HOTD should never have been delayed in the first place. Infinite Stratos-- Not the least bit worried, seeing as volume 13 is supposed to be the last one. Whatever happened to "the show must go on"? And fanfiction is no substitute for the real thing.

Manga aren't like comic books where writers are interchangeable. Let HOTD, just like his author, rest in peace.

HOTD is not dead as long as there's an active fanbase and the story isn't even halfway done. And neither is Infinite Stratos (though this one is almost done). Both had awesome anime (the very reason I got into them in the first place). HOTD even promised a second season at the end of the OVA, even though they still haven't delivered. And sometimes staff can be interchangeable in any form of media like the TV shows and game consoles I brought up earlier. But in all honesty, neither HOTD nor IS should have been delayed in the first place while they were still ongoing. Last edited by BCMan5388; 2024-09-19 at 19:21. |

HOTD
First of all, even if the author didn't die, I doubt he would have finished the story. Or heck, even continue the story. He had plenty of time to finish and didn't care to do so Infinite Stratos It's literally just a harem. He ends up with a girl. The end. That's all there is to write. Which girl would he end up with is the question, but I wouldn't be surprised if Izuru didn't even think that far.
