Is One Piece Killing Its Creator? You Won’t Believe Oda’s Schedule!

Creating and publishing a weekly manga series is no light task. Even when an artist gets ahead by several chapters, as Oda has admitted with ‘One Piece’, there’s still minimal opportunity for relaxation. Many manga artists can experience burnout. Readers of ‘Hunter X Hunter’ have experienced the anxiety about their beloved creator’s wellbeing firsthand. This field is tough and inflexible, offering little leeway for mistakes or personal breaks. Although Oda occasionally takes a break from his work, the consistent release dates of each chapter since the debut of ‘One Piece’ suggest that he might not be taking enough time off to recharge himself.
