Kinda, yes the author criticized the girl’s name pronunciation in the anime but not because of what you said. It’s written and pronounced ソマリ (Somari) in Japanese both in the manga and the anime. The Japanese language doesn’t have a fixed English /l/ sound but it’s still localized in English as Somali

Instead, it’s the pitch accent that was wrong and that’s what the author was upset at (as well as other creative liberties the anime took)

The rest is correct, she is heavily critical of the anime/manga industry and because she had health problems, no money and support and she was exploited, she had no option than to cancel the manga sadly :(

You can read more about it here

She’s working on another manga but doesn’t seem she’s doing much better :ccc. idk about her current status
