Famous Manga Artist, Kayaharuka, Passes Away

It was recently confirmed that famed manga artist, Kayahakura, creator of the renowned manga, The Misfit of Demon King Academy, has passed away due to complications with pancreatic cancer and hepatitis.

The Misfit of Demon King was originally released as a web novel in 2017 but later got an official release in 2018. It follows the story of the Demon King, who sacrifices his life to create a peaceful future for his world and later reincarnates in the Demon King Academy. The manga was canceled 2 weeks ago much to the dismay of many of the series' fans, but which has obviously been explained now with the passing of Kayahakura.

Kayahakura had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer years prior. It, of course, has an extremely low survival rate, with notable figures passing due to the disease such as Alex Trebek and Alan Rickman.

The passing of Kayahakura has hit many fans deeply, who greatly enjoyed his manga and its anime adaptation. Kayahakura posthumously thanked his fans for all of their continued support.

It has not been announced whether the series will be rebooted in light of the creator's death. It can be assumed, however, that many fans would not be comfortable with a work Kayahakura put his heart and soul into be rebooted for factors such as profit. To speak candidly, it would be best to leave his masterpiece as is and let that be a testament to his life and passion.

Regardless, Kayahakura will be sure to remain in the hearts and minds of those in the anime and manga community, especially in that of his most loyal fans. Best of wishes to his family and loved ones in this difficult time. Wherever he is, hopefully he knows how much of a profound impact he made on so many people.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
