Alive: The Final Evolution (lost work on cancelled anime adaption of manga; 2010)

Alive: The Final Evolution is a manga series that was written by Tadashi Kawashima and illustrated by Adachtoka (The creator of Noragami). In February 2010, Kawashima finished writing the series from his hospital bed as the final chapter was being published in the March issue of the Monthly Shōnen Magazine, although he died shortly after. An anime adaptation for the series was planned and to be produced by studio Gonzo and co-produced by Anime International Company, but the adaptation was canceled due to Gonzo being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is unknown to this day if the pilot, or any known storyboard, exists.

Currently, Kodansha Comics now owns the licensing for publishing the manga in English after former publisher (Del Rey) was bought out by Kodansha. The manga can now be read digitally on Kodansha's Amazon listings.
