This is a really shocking news and I hope his soul will rest in peace.

Real shock for me. I liked MM! a lot. Now there definitely won't be a second season.

There are actually 12 MM! novels (2 of them are side stories), I don't think that the anime covered everything so maybe there might be a second season. There might also be someone who will continue writing the novels, I don't know.
