One Piece Manga on a sudden 2-week break

[Reborn]

Is there a reason why he doesn't hire a team to do the drawing and he can just do the writing?

I'm sure there would be hundreds lining up for this job.

Likes to do everything by himself - pride and sense of contentment

Since Oda isn't getting any younger, ideally the best solution would be training young assistants to copy his style so he could mainly focus on the writing but yeah I guess pride won't allow him to do that

If that would be so easy Togashi would long time ago did the same. But both Togashi and Oda are the same, they are proud of their work and pride plays a huge role. In fact they don't even dare to use ai or other Methods.

Shueisha: There's a chapter this week

Mangaplus: There's a chapter this week

The fandom: Idk my god and savior Lord Redon didn't post GIFs, there's gotta be a break

Seems like our god and saviour is more credible than those shitfucks down the street

The reason is Oda is more of a drawer than a writer, what he loves the most is designing. And even if this wasn't the case, you guys can't seriously expect an artist to stop doing part of what he loves, though the way you phrased this it sounded like you really underestimate drawing in comparison to writing and believe the second is more important and deserves more attention "just because".

Toxic is toxic even if you love doing it.

Clearly it's taking a toll on him

He can sell the story to me


I'll buy it for solid price and recruit artists worldwide to make it keep going good

 

[sanjikun]

Eiichiro you can't keep living on 3 hours of sleep a day

I really think he has to let his assistants do more. Maybe do the pencilling and let the assistants do the inking.

Japan has a law - people below 18 years old or having mental age of 18 years old aren't allowed to buy businesses

Well yeah the solution is to do bi-weekly or do monthly

the problem is that Shonen jump sales would immediately plummet so they don’t want him to do it

Who will pay for my pills if i retire?

That's even worse because you are like Biden now

I don't think less of drawing, but Oda isn't getting any younger and except if he completely changes his lifestyle he isn't going to get any healthier either. Having an illustrator would factually lighten his workload by a lot, this is why I said "ideally".
And Oda could still design new places and new characters.

Sorry,no pills for you grandpa

I think it's much more convenient to pen the ideas on your own on copy even if they are in form of illustrations than to tell another person and then expect him to do it on your behalf

well of course, and I think that's why it will never happen. Oda seems like the type who wants complete control over his manga, not that it is a bad thing in itself.

Time for Oda to just sketch or design characters while the assistants draw everything else
