The official website for Square Enix's Manga UP! revealed on Tuesday that Haruka Kaya, the artist for the manga version of the Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou (The Misfit of Demon King Academy) light novel, died of pancreatic cancer on July 6. Kaya's family has already held a private funeral.
Manga UP! announced on July 7 that the manga would enter hiatus so Kaya could focus on fighting the disease. A notice included in the aforementioned post and signed as Haruka Kaya stated that they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2019, and they were apologetic for having to leave the series unfinished. Kaya said they were looking forward to the continued serialization of the manga and that they hoped to be involved in some way when they recovered. They concluded by thanking fans for reading the manga and for their support.
Kaya began serializing the Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou manga in Manga UP! in July 2018. Square Enix had published four compiled volumes of the manga at the time of their death.

If I remember correctly, the author skipped cancer treatment which is a big NO NO especially pancreatic cancer.
Always take care of your health.
RIP.

RIP Kaya, I read some of the manga before and it was splendid, it's sad to see another mangaka go.

Ehmm... Well, so far the original creators of the LN's (autor and artist) are safe, is the saga of Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha ongoing - and not over yet.
But nevertheless it's a very sad news; my condolelce going to her family and friends. RIP Kaya Haruka, you won't forget in our hearts and mind!

So sad to see so many mangaka nowadays being hospitalised due to being overworked. The only reason could be that some of the mangaka of less popular series don’t get paid anywhere near enough, therefore having to work through pain and illness. Something has to change.
I mean, you are right, but for the love of god please read the article before saying anything. Kaya died of pancreatic cancer, not overwork.

Never read the manga, but loved the anime adaptation. I hope they find a way to continue the manga version of the series with a new artist. RIP.

1. this artist died of pancreatic cancer which currently deadliest type of cancer we know off with survival rate only 3% up to 12%.
2. mangaka published in digital platform with relaxed schedule. and squere Enix is not known for black company or unethical practice.
i mean, sure you have the correct message. but you are yelling at wrong entity.

anyway, always sad to see potential artist go way early. may they rest in peace.

His art style was cute and I actually liked a bit more the action scenes of the manga than the ones of the anime. May their soul rest in peace.
