seeing this made me just break down crying. if you’d asked me yesterday what i thought of akira toriyama i would have probably said i respected him immensely, but his work didn’t hold a special place in my heart. but realizing that he’s gone is just devastating. such an iconic, important artist. the world is worse without him
Probably due to awful working conditions and hours, with the stress taking its toll
It wouldn’t surprise me if the amount of smoking this generation did also has an impact.
