A woman’s entertainment weekly here has a short article on Yazawa-sensei. The article starts out by catching her in front of a Tokyo hospital, looking visibly unwell, barely able to walk as she gets off a cab.
They then catch her in front of her house, and quotes her as saying that “she has no idea yet when she’ll be able to resume NANA”, that “she’s concentrating 100% on getting better, and that she hasn’t held a pen since she’s last collapsed”, that “people seem to be worried because she hasn’t disclosed what illness she’s suffering from, but it’s something that can be cured, and the doctors have said that she will get better as long as she spends time on treatment and recuperation, so will fans please trust Ai Yazawa and wait”.
