Why are the newer generation of mangaka such pussies compared to the old ones? Kubo and Kishimoto basically never took a single week off that wasn't for the entire magazine. And they never had any scribbly chapters either. But it seems every mangaka today ends up imploding into hiatuses and chickenscratch art from burnout, often ending their series far earlier than past series did. Hell, even Oda basically takes every other week off now.
>>
>>288208349
Oda has been writing One Piece for longer that many new mangaka have been alive. If nothing else, the guy has earned the right to take breaks.
>>
>>288208349
It helps when you don't draw backgrounds at all.
>>
>>288208349
cause they all die hella young, sleeping 3-5 hours a night is by definition is not sustainable
>>
Same reason you don't work 16 hour shifts in the coal mines with no break even when someone's legs get crushed by a cave-in. It's called progress.
>>
>>288208349
Because after generations of mangaka dying 30 years younger than they were supposed to, publishers realized it's a bad idea to work their authors to the bone.

Miura was a wake up call, the one good thing we can take from his passing is this.

Kubo may not have been a pussy when it comes to work ethic but he was a still a pussy pushover caving to the demands of editor san and his bankai (fujo support) when it comes to story stuff.
I'm supposed to believe Byakuya survived this.
>>

Gege(his art was always bad but became worse somehow)
Oda
Togashi since forever
Yuki Tabata
Ishida
The author of Ruri
The authors of World's End harem spin off(the art didn't suffer thankfully)
And many others which I don't feel like remembering.
>>
>>288208349
It's almost like that's completely unhealthy and is not good for both the author and the series itself. Are we forgetting the last arc of Bleach was so rushed because Kubo was killing himself to finish the series? I'll take a few more breaks a year if it means a better series and healthier mangaka.
>>
>>288209809

More like the company is the problem here.

The shit working conditions at jump are why Kubo and Kishi will never do weekly series again, retard. They've both said this multiple times.
>>
>>288209685
Sure, but that doesn't make the artist's art not bad. They should have still taken drawing classes.

they should all take breaks during like japanese high school exam times or something. It would be a good excuse for everyone involved to take some time off.

All authors take breaks between arcs to prep for it. He never just took random hiatuses for health reasons though like so many do today. One Piece is basically a bi-weekly series now.

I know you mean how there's a huge contrast between old vs new mangakas in terms of what were the levels of dedication they had for their stories.
However, don't let this blind you into thinking older mangakas had it easy. A lot of them, especially from older generations than Kubo's had it rough.
Tetsuo Hara, Kouji Manki, Yudetamago and Hiramatsu Shinji are four mangakas that had the dedication but also had different outcomes to their career that did not leave them unscathed
I highly recommend to read these autobiography series since they do give a better insight on what was it like fighting against Shonen Jump to keep your manga alive, and often times failing

Those are two terrible writers that can only write slop. It doesn't even have anything to do with their genres being shonen. They've figured out a working formula to perpetually write AI generated-tier slop many people liked it because they haven't seen much of those back in the good old days and that's it.

You're not a good writer just because you can perpetually write slop 24/7. Actual art takes time and is a rare sight
>>
>>288208606
No, they don't. Not anywhere near as much as they used to.
>>
>>288208349
Kubo? Should have used Akimoto/Kochikame as the example
No breaks or 40 years

>>288208478
Oda takes breaks because he fucked his eyes up from too much smoking
Hiro Mashima has been active for almost as long as Oda and at various points did multiple manga series at once, and yet he produces much better cleaner art than Nu-Oda's messy crap
>>
>>288208349
>Why are the newer generation of mangaka such pussies compared to the old ones?
They were influenced by Togashi
>>
>>288214504
You realize that Mizuki Shigeru runs rings around the amateurs of today right?
He produced so many series, and without digital tools too.

But yeah whatever cracker their “slop” you can’t help discuss on a Chinese forum haha

Toriyama did work like crazy in the 1st 3 years of Dr. Slump though
6 days a week
And he didn't know that other mangaka who were doing 2-3 series at once for example had whole teams, he only had 1 assistant and had to rely on his wife and earlier on in some of his family like his mom and his little sister to fill in the hair with black and other minor stuff like that.

He also said that once he worked so hard that he only had 20 minutes of sleep the whole week, only for Torishima to reject his manuscript

This is the video where talks about this stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y42oRITnDMg

He looks like a typical Japanese man
Not everyone can be a vampire like Araki

>>288209598
>Rumiko
Holy cherrypick
Rumiko is pre-Toriyama generation
Back then manga usually had shit art
>>
>>288212824
I don't even remember that
That had to have been the only one

>>288213047
>All authors take breaks between arcs to prep for it
Toriyama never did apart from one when a rat got into his house
I don't remember Kubo taking a break
I also don't remember Kishimoto taking breaks between arcs either
Now maybe Kishi and Kubo took one week here and there but I don't really remember them so they must have been really rare
>>
>>288209961
Or maybe he only listed Jump examples because that's mostly what he reads
Other magazines have the exact same problem or even worse
But yeah sure, it doesn't help that Jump recruits hacks nowadays
>>
>>288210109
Bullshit
Kishimoto tried but Sam8 flopped
Truth is that they don't have it in themselves anymore, 15 years is the most they could do

Nothing is stopping Kishi or Kubo to join the same magazine as Araki and do a monthly series for example

To create art you have to suffer for it
But the reward is worth it

Salaryman is just a dead end job

He also can't draw for shit, but he has a cult-like audience like Togashi

>12 examples out of 700 chapters
Wow, really showed us, huh? Meanwhile I took a random chapter and this is the most complex I can find.
We've read Bleach. Kubo put a lot of focus on the characters, which is very notable elsewhere. It's not like he can't draw backgrounds. He decided not to in many cases.
>>
>>288216118
The only things Kishi arguably had that he lost later on were edge and style, along with an editor that vetoed his worst ideas. He was extremely lucky that Nardo became the phenomenon it did, so that when those elements were lost, he was able to coast by on sheer momentum and sunk cost. Absent those, it's no wonder he completely failed to get another project off the ground.
>>
>>288216252
Hackmoto's career is a fucking crime when compared to better struggling authors.
>>
>>288216252
The biggest thing he lost is his drawing ability
He simplified his art and it became ugly and flat
>>
>>288216213
Nta
The page you posted has Topaz applied all over it smudging all the line

Putting that aside, drawing the backgrounds is the assistant's job
Kubo didn't use backgrounds much for stylistic reasons
The problem with Kubo is that he got worse with making a good looking background-less manga as time went on, he was better earlier on

If you go look at many old classic manga from the golden era of the 80s and 90s, they also often didn't have much backgrounds
They looked good though, because the artists knew how to make them look good
The same goes for most of Bleach, understandably though Kubo got worse at it with age
>>
>>288209150
cherrypicked and a lot of early bleach
>>
>>288212971
You need to stop with this, you can't be sick for like what was it at this point 4-5 years straight?
The sick excuse applied for the first two years maybe, he and his wife had already recovered a while ago.
>>
>>288215792
If you have an issue with slop you shouldn't be reading manga to begin with because that's all you will ever get on a schedule produced by people who do not know if what they are making going to survive longer than half a year if even that

>Other magazines have the exact same problem or even worse
Other mags run a higher volume of serialization so they can rotate to give mangaka break though.
>>
>>288213047
Kubo was amazingly bad with planning, though.
Especially towards the end where he stretched all the individual fights to the point they were impossibly boring while wrapping up the final fight in a quick sucker punch because he couldn't even be bothered at that point.
Do you think that Guenael being a fakeout was organic storytelling and not just Kubo randomly deciding he had a better idea for V?
Have you ever noticed that the placement of the flashback about Ichigo's parents was odd and involved instantly teleporting to Karakura from a location that supposedly takes several hours to reach from soul society? Kubo probably forgot he was supposed to tell that story earlier.
>>
>>288208349
Kubo is the very epitome of scribbly art.
Scribbly art, hyper angular art, edginess, and ugliness above all else.
That's why most new shonen fucking suck because they all look the same. There is no appeal with the character designs.
>>
>>288216353
He started having a lot of breaks later on with age and he got health issues too one of the reasons the last arc was a fiasco was because his health was shit and he started rushing through everything
>>
>>288208349
they began to understannd that breaks are necessary to come up with a good story. lmao
