    I have been reading various news reports about the death of Umezu-sensei on the 28th of last month.
    I remember meeting him at an event about 20 years ago and he was as cute and silly as ever. I thought he was a weird guy, but he is a genius who touches our hearts with comics.

    Thank you for your hard work, Umezu Kazuo-teacher.

    when i think Umezu Kazuo——Teacher, the only thing that comes to my mind is “genius”.
    The comic was actually his debut, drawn during his sophomore year of high school, and showcased his genius for “hand-drawn musical notes as sound effects for each scene.”
    Even if you want to “I don’t know if there are sounds in comics”, most people can’t achieve this.
    Not to mention his artistic talent and being a high school student.

    when it comes to Umezu Kazuo——Teacher, what I was most afraid of when I was a child were half-fish people. I still feel terrible saying it out loud.
    My brother used to make fun of me like in the picture.
    I even hate opening the tub lid (because if I do it seems like the fishmen are going to come out). What I hate most are snapper fishmen.
    I would like to offer my deepest condolences.
