COVID-19 has heavily damaged the industry already. Even after the strict pandemic handling, a manga illustrator has come down with the virus.
Shungo Sumaki, the illustrator of the Konjiki no Wordmaster light novel, has tested positive for the new Coronavirus.
He has also designed characters for games like Dungeon Travelers or Parascientific Escape.
Every industry has been affected by the pandemic. However, the anime industry was never a very enriched one, and COVID-19 almost crippled it.
Japan has declared another emergency this Friday as the worst wave of COVID-19 yet has hit the country.
