As you read keep in mind that there's a language barrier so for some I didn't put direct translations, I put a translation that'll make sense to us fellow English speakers, so yea, basically they word things differently or use completely different expressions/phrases from what we're familiar with. I also might put alternatives in parentheses, since 1 word could have multiple different meanings when translated to English.

Here is the Japanese Wikipedia page stating:

 "On his website, he published "Afuganisutan", a four-panel cartoon that anthropomorphizes the nation, and "Pakisutan" after that.  Both works were published in book form.  The latter stopped updating after 4 episodes.

 At the end of June 2005, it turned out that the computer used by the author was infected with a computer virus whose infection source was the file-sharing software Winny.  He caused a controversy on the Internet due to the leak of personal information.

 The official website has not been updated at all since the leak of personal information due to the above computer virus infection was discovered, except for removing some links.  He is also silent about the series of suspicions associated with the leak.  In addition, he did not appear at the comic market where he was scheduled to participate in the circle, and the author's whereabouts after that are unknown.  The site disappeared from April 6, 2006, and as of April 2011, the host was also down.  In addition, since "Pakisutan" was published in 2008, it is presumed that he was in a state of contact with the publisher at that time."

There was also an article that mentions the following:

"Last spring in Japan, mangaka TIMAKING's webcomic Afghanistan reached heights of popularity among Japanese fans. The four-frame per serial comicstrip made the southwest Asian nation and it's neighboring countries a topic, covering the history of the region from the age of imperialism and European control in the 19th century. Following the serial's end after a short run, a sequel webmanga - Pakistan followed, it ran for 4 stories before ending. Like so many popular webmanga authors, TIMAKING was offered a chance to publish Afghanistan in print and paper. A book was scheduled to be released in Japan from Sansai Books on July 22nd, 2005, marking the author's commercial debut. At the end of June however, it was revealed the author's personal computer was loaded with the P2P software Winny and had become infected with a virus. Around 100 MB's worth of files such as documents and desktop images had flowed out onto Winny. Among them, it was found the author had downloaded copyrighted manga, Eroge and Anison, legality became a question. A list of these files were republished and the files themselves uploaded around the web on BBS's. Discussion brewed on the Internet regarding the case. After many delays the Afghanistan book was finally sold on July 26th, 2005. After the Winny episode had come to light, the author's official website was not updated and to this day, he or she has never commented on the case. Since then, TIMAKING has all but vanished from the public light, not participating in doujinshi circle meets such as Comike. The author's official website has disappeared as of April 6th, 2006."

Note!

I really liked the Afuganisu-tan manga when I first discovered it through a Tumblr post and read the webcomic. I myself am half Afghan half Pakistani so you could imagine my excitement to hear about both these comics existing lol. Then I heard about how there's a physical copy for it, aswell as an unknown sequel/spin-off called Pakisu-tan. Even though I really enjoyed reading it I do however feel like it's a bit bias when portraying the history of Afghanistan (and the other nations to an extent), especially the relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan which is a little more complex and strained than what the comic portrays (though the bittersweet aspect is still there). However the author does point this out, stating that it was hard to properly portray history without bias, it was especially hard because it was a 4 panel comic in a moe style (stated at the end letters of both manga's).

I dont like buying manga's when they're available as webcomic's but this was an exception, since the physcial copy is in color and contains a little more, with Pakisu-tan not even being available as a webcomic due to the virus the author caught in the middle of making it, forcing him to work on it in secret. The main reason I bought and translated it was seeing that everyone who was a fan of Timaking's works really wanting to see Pakisu-tan, including myself. After going on a research rampage and even messaging a whole company, it ended up being on Amazon marketplace, and as I'm writing they are still available for purchase on quite a few sites. I'll link the Amazon page to Timaking's comics down below though since that's the best place to purchase it i'd say.
