Manga artist Tomohiro Hashimoto reported on Friday that he was hospitalized after testing positive for the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on July 27.
Hashimoto was a manga artist for the Kaiji spinoff manga Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues (Chūkan Kanriroku Tonegawa).
After this, Hashimoto thinks he will draw a manga, since he wishes to tell people that COVID-19 is more than a common cold.
The series ranked at #1 on the top 20 list of manga for male readers in the 2017 edition of Takarajimasha’s Kono Manga ga Sugoi!
