Is there any anime, manga, novel where upon learning that it has been cancelled or abandoned broke your heart?

[BMD-4M]

I sometimes see titles with genuine peak and then BOOM cancelled it's really something that can ruin my day.

Sexy Tanaka-san but it's because the author committed suicide.

Iris Zero and I'm still mourning

I was reading "The Fantastic Strange Story Of A Broke Mercenary" and got to about volume 2 before realising that it got cancelled at volume 15 because the author posted some racist tweets or something.

Great start, cool duo between the main cast, and indications of cool story and worldbuilding with a clear goal in mind. I immediately stopped reading like half way through the volume I was on and I was just like damn this sucks.

The author died to disease most likely caused by poverty. It was an era Japan is recovering from a great depression.

How did he die, cigarette abuse? I know smoking kills a lot of middle aged men.

It is the same suicide case as E-musu Aki, who drew hot hentai art.

Good for you he's not dead. He can continue now because that novel is good enough and the world is as racist as it can get.

I usually write my own endings on those type of manga. After that I stretch plot from my ending to the author's work. A good exercise of literature.

This is being done to Berserk at the moment, seeing if fans would bait.

Smell is one of my favourite BL and I realised it was a oneshot so I naturally fixated overr te manga and couldn't stop thinking about it for a month

Yes, I had that experience, and it happened most strongly with Berserk.
As a fan, I had long perceived this story as something eternal - as if it would slowly but surely lead Guts through his path to the end. I was used to the fact that even the darkest arcs make sense, that every scene builds something. And so the news of Kentaro Miura's death hit not just as a pause in the plot, but as the end of something alive.
The hardest thing is not even that the story remained unfinished, but the feeling that no one will ever tell it the way he did. Because Berserk is not just a plot, it is a style, a rhythm, details that cannot simply be continued.
