| I would like to raise the issue of poor health of mangakas and how people, knowing about it, are still rude, ungrateful and even cruel.Insulting them, wishing them not to write anything else, etc. Recently, Gege informed fans that he was hospitalized in June due to appendix surgery. It was then that there was a 3 or 4 week break that changed and spoiled his schedule a lot.And at that time he published a chapter of probably 9 pages. It was one of the longer breaks, and we know that there were more shorter ones, sooner or later. In any case, I want to talk about the problem, that a lot of people accuse authors of laziness, insult them and take their frustrations out on the endings of manga, and no one put themselves in the author's shoes. You can complain about the endings of the manga, but put yourself in their shoes. In addition to burnout, there is also the destruction of one's own health, and shounen Jump does not take pity on anyone. You have a deadline, so you have to finish it even if you are in hospital. There's a reason so many Shonen titles suffer from the same problems. If someone done any writing before you know that lots of things only occur to you after you get the whole story in front of you and then you start checking it for missed opportunities. I will quote a certain Reddit user: ''Muira died, Togashi's back is crippled, Oda had heart attacks, Kubo's shoulder is crippled, Inoue left Vagabond on hiatus. The manga industry might be the only industry where even the major successful players are treated like hell. Can you really blame Hori, Gotuge and Gege leaving immediately after getting the bag when they have first hand witnessed what happened to their idols before them?'' Is it so hard to be a little more understanding? After all, these stories are the authors', not ours, and they are the ones who end them however they want. To avoid being so depressing, I'll share a piece of information from Gege that Uraume is originally a boy.xD |

| this is the internet, where forming a mob is easy, and mob mentality doesn't allow much room for empathy. Even worse is that Japan's default work culture is that of overwork, it's not limited to mangaka. Animators, game developers, even just paper-pushers work needless amounts of hours and cause themselves serious health issues. I'm not going to pretend I know the cultural context for this, at least not entirely. But there are layers upon layers of problems that result in the early deaths of the creators of such beloved works. |

Wash your mouth when you're done as that one-eyed cat bum ain't gonna fuck you no matter how relentlessly you give that bum a blow, lol. Bad writing and a generic happy ending enabler, shameless. If said author doesn't one to get criticized, then don't write, point blank.
| @Nugi97 Let's hear you talk about Fujimoto again |

@Dumb let's see:
1. He's a great writer than that mediocre bum, in fact, he's the best writer in new-gen
2. He never missed and always hit ever since his debut
3. Fire Punch, Chainsaw Man, Look Back, and Goodbye Eri. His CV says everything about his writing, such a prodigy among mediocrity of Shonen
4. CSM Part 1 ending was by far one of the best ever written, and might I remind you, almost 98% of its casts were dead, yet Fujimoto still made it peak
5. He's not a bum, fraud, mediocre, or cowardly writer

| @Nugi97 Seeing your comments, I see that there is no point in talking to you. If you don't like Jjk so much, what are you even doing here? Are you obsessed with this series? Go read Chainsaw Man and don't insult other people. My post was mainly about people like you. It's a pity that, as we can see from your attitude, it didn't help. Your immature way of writing shows that you are either a kid or you have an unpleasant personality and love to provoke people. |

Rather than the manga industry in general, it’s mostly WSJ in these cases. Other magazines allow frequent breaks even for authors that aren’t the biggest hits creators. I mean, just look at WSM, the 2nd biggest manga magazine, the newest serials took break even before 10 chapters released. Also, plenty of mangaka do well enough, some even for multiple decades. Biggest example out there probably is Rumiko Takahashi, she’s been releasing weekly series since the 70s up to this day so how the authors work and their practices is a big factor too.
| @TheChainsawMan It's sad that even though so many artists have health problems and everyone knows about it, WSJ does not help with this problem in any way. They only add stress |
| A bad Writing is a Bad Writing. I had been concerned about the author's health when she/he started taking breaks after every alternate chapter. I understand the complications and uncertainties, but that doesn't change the fact the ending sucked. It was all messed up, the last 20-30 chapters. Honestly. Well understandable, Gege ain't Kishibe Rohan. 🤷🏻♀️ |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you are able to ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| I realize that the manga industry is very demanding, but that's no excuse for authors to get sloppy and allow the quality of their work to drop. If Gege really needed a break for health reasons or just exhaustion in general, I'm sure he could've worked something out. Togashi goes on hiatus for years ffs, so I'm sure Gege could've worked out a different schedule to release chapters at his own pace to minimize "burnout". |
| I had no idea such a brainrot fujimoto worshipper exists. This would otherwise be a somewhat okay thread if it weren't for him. Still, what do you expect from wsj? This isn't the first time and won't be the last. I am unsatisfied with the ending. But i won't hurl insults at him. I simply don't like how he handles his character. At first i truly believe yuji will become someone who surpass gojo. With time and training on his hands he will be able to do that. But what does gege do? Make him suffer and make gojo the only key to solve most if not every problem in the story. He made gojo too perfect and made yuji suffer too much. He clearly doesn't hide his hate for gojo. And gojo will remain one of his failure on his works. Health issues is something that comes years after writing jjk. As this is the first work that wsj pick up from him. He took the chance just like any other aspiring mangaka would. But he clearly did not see such a big expectations coming at him. He underestimated the heavy burden that's weighing him down and it eventually came back to bite at him. I could be wrong but charles bernard from start to finish is clearly his way of talking directly to the readers. And you'd know that he realized that he is flawed as a mangaka. Regardless of his health issues, he still took the chance and failed. No need for pity, i just respect him. Sure, i am not satisfied with the ending. But you gotta give him credit where credit is due. He may have failed but in the end he still made a name for himself. |
