| According to an interview manga on Weekly Shonen Jump, Oda Eiichiro revealed that he gets up 5am and works until 2am. He would go on a trip with his family if he had a free time but he has absolutely no day off. He feels happy to be a mangaka when he meets famous mangaka he admires such as Toriyama Akira. What he wants the most now is an interesting idea for the story. Source: Scan of WSJ, Scan2 |
| The news isn't the fact that he has nearly no freetime, but the extent of his work. Only three hours of sleep... even Napoleon slept four hours a day, that is an insane pace. Wonder how long he can keep that up. |

darkmac said: How does he work so much and still have such bad art? And there goes any hope of this thread being civil. |
 |
| It's been known for a long time now that he's a workaholic so not much of a surprise there. Bet people who complain about his ocasional breaks are feeling like shit right about now.You guys are assholes. Seriously hope he's not burning out. |

| Toei and Jump my goodness give this man some rest, the poor dear barely has time to spend with his family and this is how Mangaka die suddenly, they are people not robots. |
 |
| One Pieces has been running for 15 yeas with no long term breaks, right? I hope he takes care of his own health. We wouldn't want him to get sick, needs a surgery, and One Pieces goes on hold. |
 |
| I think he went on a one month break to Hawaii with his family at the time skip. Did he really work during that. I hope One Piece is his last manga, I know he makes enough money off of it, he should retire afterwards(or at least switch to something way easier). I would be so damn sad if he dies, and especially if he dies before finishing One Piece. |

| How does his body even function? |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
darkmac said: How does he work so much and still have such bad art? Maybe he works too much , thus leads to bad art . ^ agreed |

| This doesn't really seem like news. |
 |
| that sounds awful, he really should take more breaks |

| Poor guy... Even I get more sleep than him... And I have an insomnia problem... I don't pity him at all though, as it's something he decided for himself. I very much respect this man and his passion. |

| Wow, just imagined One Piece unfinished. It sounds way too likely. Oda, please live. |
 |
| When you really and honestly love what you do this it hardly seem as a hurdle or sacrifice from his perspective, of course I would agree that he needs some more rest, but again, he loves what he does sincerely so he surely does not see it a work and loves what he does, that's why he can "work" almost non-stop and from our point of view we see as the man not getting any rest, not taking care of himself, etc. His passion and sincere love its easily seen and felt by us fans. He is young however, that's why he has managed to go like this for more than a decade now. If anything I feel for his family. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| HOLY SHIT! I could never work like that! I'm surprised he hasn't suffered burn out by now! |
| Wow, @ e3veryone saying poor guy and the like. I doubt he feels like that. I bet if you were to tell him rest more, he would say, rest? I am resting and putting my mind at easy while drawing. He is a Genius, geniuses are like that. It would be easier if you picture him like Eji from Bakuman. who sees based on Oda, see how much he worked non.stop and when asked about resting and having fun his answer surprised his own editor.

| no wonder most of Luffy's adventures r great /cheers :) |
 |
| he seriously needs to sleep more. at least 5 hours will do. seriously, or One Piece might suffer...i dont know its a gut feeling..soon |
| Heres hoping he can live to finish it. |
| I'd die just to troll idiots complaining about me dying if i was him. |
| Wow, my body wouldn't take it even for 1 month, imagine how he must be feeling after 15 years waaave said: I'd die just to troll idiots complaining about me dying if i was him. I knew someone would eventually end up posting this comment |
 "Can you feel that hybrid rainbow?" |
| So he only sleeps for 3 hours a night? o.o |
 |
AreXsu said: he seriously needs to sleep more. at least 5 hours will do. seriously, or One Piece might suffer...i dont know its a gut feeling..soon I agree with this, specially since he also works with the movie when there is one, which is why there is a lot of breaks. DEMOLITION_D said: darkmac said: How does he work so much and still have such bad art? With the fanbase One Piece has accumulated, I doubt he's got much motivation to try and make his shit look any better. Is it really hard to ask for any haters to stay...out of OP-related news? What's with people and wanting to downgrade OP? -.- |
| He is such a dedicated mangaka , this made me respect the man even more :) |
 |
| Wow it's okay to be serious with your work, but that lifestyle is going to hit him hard in the future :/ |
 |
| I'm fine with people being rude to a hard working man in this thread. He can't hear you over his wads of money and smoking hot wife anyways. |
 |
| HE NEEDS A BREAK T^T I wonder if he can still say he still has fun doing his job T___T |

| Call me if he's decided to give One Piece the closure it deserves. The people I hate more than people who create short stories with no resolution are people who create LONG stories with no resolution. Better plan on the ending before you meet yours, Oda-sensei. |

| Intense. |

LOL You would how much he improved over the past years and how the art gets darker IF you read the series , that is . When it comes to weekly shonen series ,hands down One Piece has he best artwork , every op fans know how the art improved and how unique and creative it is , just look at his colour spreads . |

Read the series , thats pretty much all i can say , it will answer your question . |
Orix said: Better plan on the ending before you meet yours, Oda-sensei. He's said before he has the whole story planned out. You can tell with all the interconnected aspects of the series that it's true... (He didn't just start OP and went along with it. =.=) So don't say that. . _ . And he needs to live long enough to create more even after One Piece! Please keep healthy, Oda-sensei. :A: |
| fuck he sleeps less then em though this does expalin the weird but great art cause i knwo im most creative on the less sleep i have |
 |
| IntroverTurtle: He should hurry. By how he's wasting his body (three hours of sleep, wtf), he's real close to burning out. The only question is when this will happen, or whether it has happened in the past without you guys knowing. ZoroShiSon: I've decided long ago that I wouldn't touch the manga series. MM-Rosiie: It's reality. There's so many authors that might have died before fully realizing their works of literature. There's The Wheel of Time series, and in Japan, the Kaze no Stigma series. Zero no Tsukaima's in danger as well, with its author seeking medication for his cancer. |
