Life goes on with Crayon Shin-chan!
This is just an small update for Crayon Shin-Chan fans. It seems Crayon Shin-chan will go on, just like Life itself. Apparently, Futabasha will assign the series to a new author and the series will be resumed next summer.
The 18th movie of Crayon Shin-chan anime will be premiered on April 17th. The title is “Crayon Shin-chan: Chojiku! Arashi wo Yobu Ora no Hanayome” and Shinnosuke time-travels with his future wife.
It will be interesting to see who´s assigned to the task of bringing Crayon Shin-chan back to life…metaphorically speaking.

Funeral for Crayon Shin-Chan’s Creator!
Crayon Shin-chan’s fans offered their last respects for Yoshito Usui, the creator of this delightful series.
Thousands of manga fans flocked to the funeral Monday of Japanese cartoonist Yoshito Usui, whose cheeky schoolboy character Shin-chan delighted millions.
More than 3,000 mourners queued to offer their last respects at central Tokyo’s Aoyama Funeral Hall, where pictures, stuffed dolls, comic books and videos of Usui’s characters were on display and decorated with flowers.
“Mr Usui unfortunately died, but the characters created by Mr Usui are still alive,” said fellow cartoonist Tetsuya Chiba, hailing the artist who created the hit “Crayon Shin-chan” series in the 1990s.
“It was very shocking to me when I heard of his death,” said one fan, Megumi Nagai, a 24-year-old female bartender. “The funeral was very valuable because I could see his works, all the comics, all the videos and the history.”
