Is it even possible to be more dedicated than Oda? :|
06. Eiichiro Oda's Lifestyle
What does it take to be the best mangaka? Well, certainly it takes lot of dedication, wish to know more about how Oda lives out his everyday life? Do note, some of the information related to his lifestyle is from 2013, certain aspects of his lifestyle may have changed now!
He is a smoker (in-fact, a chain smoker) and fans believe this is due to the "stress" involved in the profession
He prefers to work with the least amount of assistants required, he prefers to draw majority of the chapters himself
He has made it clear that he doesn't like to copy and paste old art into new chapters, if a event or events have already been illustrated and needs to be re-used, he draws them all over again
He wakes up at 5 am, works until 2 am (21 hours!) and sleeps from 2 am until 5 am (3 hours) on an average day
He "lives" in his workplace, his family visits him at his workplace, and he spends an average of one day with them without having to work at the same time
When asked "how does he blow of stress" Oda stated that he blows of stress by "writing an interesting manga." When asked "when does he feel the happiest" he answered "while writing an interesting manga"
He listens to "Soul" music at his workplace
When asked what is his schedule for the week, he answered "three days of sketching and three days of working on the final piece"
Eiichiro Oda dreams about products that can’t be made with present technology

04. Eiichiro Oda's Dedication To One Piece And His Fans
With the series now going on for more than 15 years, it's given that Oda is dedicated to the series as well as the fans who support him. But did you know to what extent his dedication goes to? Well, if you though his dedication ended with just working 21 hours a day, 6 days a week, you are wrong! When Eiichiro Oda was hospitalized in 2013, Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto's mangaka) visited him at the hospital and witnessed Oda drawing next chapters of One Piece while being bedridden!

That's right, even being bedridden doesn't stop him from working on One Piece, the only way to keep him away is to knock him out with really strong sleeping gas! If that isn't dedication, then I frankly don't know what is. And it isn't because Eiichiro Oda needs to work, he earns approximately 2 Billion Yen (about 25 million U.S Dollars) from the royalties related to One Piece each year! He doesn't need to work, it's just his dedication that keeps driving him forward even at a place he ought to rest!
Not a mangaka , but the guy who wrote the Zero no Tsukaima novels continued to write when he had cancer . He died before he could finish the last two novels though .

So true .

Most mangas with good art are either monthly,takes a lot or long hiatus,or takes lots of breaks and the quality of the art isn't always constant (even if the art is better than hiro's art)

He is a legend in that department . He is known for his talent of fast drawing.

Wether you hate his story or not gotta guve credit how generous he is with fairy tail lol . Make many Double colored chapters ,covers ,weekly side stories and doesn't take much breaks.

I remember i used to say fairy tail fan arts always look similar to hiro style then i realized it wasn't fanart but hiro's.

Hiro Mashima is easily underrated regarding his art & drawing. He is a great writer too. He wrote Rave Master. People forget hi writing kills because of the fail he wrote Fairy Tail.
ft is not a fail either, rave was serious manga with a serious plot
ft is lighthearted manga with lots of fs ,comedy and nakama power,with rare dark moments
people dont like ft=/= it being a fail manga

Fairy Tail is a bad written series. That is fact. not an opinion. What does me being a sakura fan have to do with the truth about Fairy Tail? Fairy Tail has lost fans and the anime community looks at it as a joke it.
oh yah ,ryt
can i get a link to this so called existing fact that ft is a bad series
oh wait, ryt this isnt a fact
well its funny bcoz ,sakura herself is a failed character
