Japanese media released news today that cherry, the author of the cartoon "Cherry Pills", Cherry Zi, died of breast cancer on the 15th of this month, at the age of 53.
Many media outlets were aware of the news, but reported on it after Cherry's funeral had already taken place.
Cherry is reported to have breast cancer, but has not publicly disclosed the news of her illness, and insists on regularly updating her "blog", the most recent update was on July 2, saying she is watching the World Cup.
Cherry's real name is Miki Miura, and her nickname when she went to school was Komaruko.
Like Xiao Maruzi, she also does not like to study and does not like to do homework, which makes the teacher very disappointed.
Later, she was not very interested in going to work, because part-time painting was too hard, and sometimes dozed off and hit the table. He simply resigned and concentrated on painting.
In August 1986, the original Cherry Pills manga began serialization in RIBON magazine. Four years later, the anime began broadcasting, and at one point it set a record for anime ratings in the history of Japanese television. As of April 1, 2018, 1,143 episodes have been aired.

Cherry married manga editor Masataka Miyanoga at the age of 24, but later chose to divorce her because she was dissatisfied with her husband's interference in her creations. However, Mr. Miyano's love for the Beatles was left in the manga.
At the age of 38, she took her son cherry cantaloupe and remarried illustrator Sasimi Uono (sashimi).
The story of Cherry Maruko is set in Shizuoka Prefecture in the early 1970s, which is also cherry's hometown.
There are six people in the family, and the economic pillar is the "wage earner" father Sakura Hiroshi, that is, the "new middle class" that emerged in post-war Japan.
Flaunting his special place in the home is his ability to control the family's television set and watch his beloved baseball game — a symbol of embracing the American way of life.
In the manga, Cherry creates a doting grandfather, Yuzo, who is very different from her real-life grandfather, who is grumpy, cold to Cherry, and peeks into her bath. "I think Grandpa passed away like a dead cockroach in the toilet."
The naïve girl Xiaoyu in the comic is based on a rich family, who later went to the United States to study and also married there.
Maruo's prototype later went into the IT industry.
The character of The Flower Wheel was originally designed to be a nasty idiot, but it was so popular after its introduction that even Cherry later felt that he was a person who could be entrusted.
Maruko's best friend Yumiko soon disappears from the story – because her real-life prototype commits suicide.
And the soccer teenager Kenta is the famous football player Kenta Hasegawa, who is Cherry's elementary school classmate. It's just that Kenta really has no impression of this female classmate.
Cherry rarely gives interviews and leaves video material, and when the media wanted to publish her photographs, she sent an illustration. She prefers to communicate with the outside world through words and cartoons.
Little Pill has grown up with generations, and this little girl who is full of "stinky diseases" has made many people see themselves in her and find comfort.
Many people say that Xiao Maruzi was the first "philosopher" he met in his life.
Nowadays, it seems that the reason why the image of The Little Pill is so vivid is precisely because Cherry is an imperfect but very real woman. After she is over fifty years old, she still wears a child flower head, there are some shortcomings in her life, she will want to make up for it in the comics, she herself is a big smoker, but in the comics she puts on a very healthy look...
Contradictory and cute.
Let's revisit the life philosophy of The Little Pill:
When they all read it, many people are already middle-aged...
