Cartoonist Leaps to Death In Tokyo

This upsetting wire story showed up about eight hours ago, indicating the 48-year-old cartoonist Rin Inumaru leapt from the top of her building and landed on the roof of a much smaller building, dying from the injuries. A suicide note indicated vocational concerns as a major cause for the decision. There's very little out there available about the cartooning aspect of Inumaru's career save for a few mentions here and there that her cartoons drove the television show Ojarumaru; information presented in a way that makes me think a better description is yet to come.
