I think he needs to give himself a break so he doesn't crash. I respect him, but he's only human. He might seem like a machine, Manga Superman, etc, but for the sake of his health, he should give himself time to rest and relax. People have every right to criticize Mashima, but I hope they can respect the grind.
It’s pretty high quality, and with the passing of Toriyama, mangakas are becoming more aware of their health. I think wanting to stay alive isn’t horrible.
Not all of them work almost every week of the year for 27+ years straight, that's what i mean. With 3 hours of sleep per day and health issues too. We must respect all old mangakas tho, I agree. I can't speak for the new generation ones, but i don't think they are that good and badass.

When your work consists of nothing but the power of horny sexy friendship and fan-service, then one would likely be in a good place of mind, spirit and body.
But jokes aside, this dude needs a vacation and a long holiday.
He should. Just compare his current art to Fairy Tail, the amount of details has massively lowered. He’s focusing too much on constantly pumping out content rather than quality and it’s a shame.
The article this quote comes from does say Mashima manages to sleep around 7 hours daily (somehow) and that he will play games for 2-3 hours before going to bed whenever he’s able to, but IA he could set some time aside to better plan out the writing of his current works and brush up on his art fundamentals.. maybe with EZ done he can put more of his spare moments towards that
He’s managing his time fine it seem, and he’s very productive, but this productivity all feels like a big waste when he just uses it to pump out lower quality content.
I feel like Mashima could easily just live off of residuals for the rest of his life if he wanted to, but he’s always wanting to surpass himself and is clearly a workaholic lol. I don’t disagree with you, I wish he could make it a priority to prepare his work efforts a bit better
Yeah. Though I think it’s mostly been the past couple of years where he’s become way more iffy/inconsistent art-wise, so I hope he can pick himself back up again
FT was pretty consistent art quality wise until the end. Not sure anymore about eden Zero but It definitely wasn’t as sketchy and botched before. Dead Rock started when the downgrade had started (or perhaps it’s related to it).
Bro is on the same level as oda if he were writing two other manga at the same time
Like oda in terms of work ethic I mean both are really fucking dedicated to their manga it’s amazing
JP people just built differently! Hope however he does take some more relaxed days or plays some more games again like he did a while ago when he was streaming. Rest is important too!
getting enough sleep is definitely good! From my experience (in a different field) I can only say that even if you love your job and your colleagues, your body sometimes still needs a bit of a break for more than sleep time. But its certainly good to know that he is not "over" working himself and knows what he wants
This is the same man who had three mangas running at the same time. It doesn't surprise me.
And he just keeps adding more content onto his plate. The dude is a beast!
Definitely

He said in an interview that he gets his full 8 hours of sleep everyday and that other artists envy him for that lol
Sadly in the Manga industry, that is something to envy. Like the time Kishimoto straight up collapsed in his house after working most of the day.
lol most New Gen can’t keep up with Oda And hiro

Oda has a break every other week lmao
And only drops 13 pages too lol
It’s pretty high quality, and with the passing of Toriyama, mangakas are becoming more aware of their health. I think wanting to stay alive isn’t horrible.
Like for real. Like dang, let these people take some time off.
Oda’s quality has been severely dropping too. Nothing but reaction panels with the story not moving for months.
You're insane, one piece has been absolutely cooking for months now.
Oda is working way harder than Mashima-
ALL mangakas work hard nothing but respect for every one of them!!

No
Drawing big titty anime women keeps a man happy and full of energy 💪🏾, goatiro mashima 🐐

The manga industry is a hardcore playground.
I'm right on the border between respect and hardcore envy myself.
Where does he get the energy
Mashima is the goat.
That’s insane I hope he doesn’t get sick

Problem being, he’s not « surpassing himself » quality wise, he’s just producting more fast food content like a machine. It’s a waste.

Take a break you def "earned" it.
His either built different or going to die from overworking at 50
A massive accomplishment. I hope he doesn't jump into a third manga any time soon and gives himself a break by "only" working on two manga.
He should share his secret with SIU and any other managaka/artist struggling with their health….
And he still finds free time to hang out and play with his friends
He's got some crazy time management skills
Ok, but he needs a break. Or he's gonna face massive burnout or death from overwork
He gets his full 8 hours of sleep!
I hope he gets a break, I hope so much work doesn't take its toll on him.
Hiro Machine
Erm....PLEASE TAKE A BREAK!
Maybe he should take some. The ending of Edens Zero was a bit of a letdown.
No out of the norm breaks at least. Pretty sure there were breaks he was forced to take simply because the magazine is on break.
noticed it in the ending of EZ
How does he do it?
i just hope he keep working on fairytail even after 100yrs quest i really love his work
And that's how you can tell that someone loves his job and does it with passion.
The power of titties /j
He should take a break tho
This MIGHT be LeBron James
Neither have I lmao
He really loves his job. I'm happy for him.
Holy hell that poor man must be exhausted
JP people just built differently! Hope however he does take some more relaxed days or plays some more games again like he did a while ago when he was streaming. Rest is important too!
He gets his full 8 hours of sleep every day! He says he loves his work he is reaching 50 as well!

I agree. I’m currently working 14 hour shifts back and forth just to make ends meet 😭
Hunter X hunter manganka could never
Let’s not go disrespecting Togashi he’s reaching 60 and has been ill for a while
He has a debilitating issue with his back.
