Guin Saga – RIP Kaoru Kurimoto – The mystery will never be solved
Posted by: Sheba in Anime
Thirty years, over one hundred tomes, more than enough to see characters getting old and married, to see kingdoms rise and fall. But a question was never answered: Is Guin’s leopard head a mask or a natural part of himself?
This question will never be answered. Kaoru Kurimoto left us on last evening, May 26th 2009, after a struggle against pancreatic cancer. Guin, Linda, Remus and Ishtvan are now orphans; and the saga will never be concluded. She have now joined Gygax, Jordan, Tolkien and other big names of the genre.
For those who still follow the animated adaptation, I still do, enjoy it.

Too bad she couldn’t finish her work…
Enventually, her husband or a close relative who knew her well could try to finish Guin Saga (just like Süssmayr achieved his friend Mozart’s Requiem after the latter’s death) as a tribute to her. But for sure, even if this person could do his/her best for imitating Kurimoto’s writing style, the end of Guin Saga would certainly look different.
