Illustrator Reacts to THE SAD TRUTH About MANGA

I'm reacting to a viral video about Mangaka: The Sad Truth About Manga. We gonna explore the dark side of Manga, Anime, Drawing and Art! One of my favorite episodes of Illustrator Reacts so far.

Sensie Oda doesn't really like to be take some picture or be taking some pictures, but his one of my top fav. Writter and Manga💕. Every chapter stories has a behind meaning and also the charter design and connectivity is one of my fav.

Reading Tokyo revengers and Vinland saga right now. Saw something that the mangeka wrote about his workdays, he said it was 12 h long and I was shocked. I do still wanna become a manga artist though, guess I have a tough future ahead of me. I already experienced this on a lower level since I have a running webtoon.

Oda’s love for his masterpiece is really projecting to the readers. I would really love to hear from himself on what he thinks about his work schedule… Doing what he’s doing for 23+ years and still be constantly on fleek… like fans until now be like “this is the best chapter so far” almost every week. He constantly outdo himself (Is he really human?).

It appears to me that it’s nothing like a job to him. He just loves and enjoys what he’s doing. I mean all mangakas do with their own but… Oda seems to never have had burnout episodes or never stressed out about “how to end” One Piece, he’s just in it for the ride.

If I remember it right, one of his recent interviews mentioned how he’s bummed about not being able to draw 36 pages but the editors had to make the cut cos it’s just impossible for a weekly manga. (Just imagine his concepts/sidestories/info that doesn’t make it).

And the longest break he has had was 1 month during timeskip, and that was like a decade ago.

As someone who reads manga and aspires to make a webcomic, I got to have respect for the mangaka for the work they did. The webcomic is still in work because I have a big exam next year (and parents won't gonna want to see my marks low) so I'm learning from them, making storyboard and writing the story now or maybe even draw the panels ahead of time so I have a lil bit of loose schedule when I'm actually going to publish it.

Yeah I am interested in making comics and since I want to live in Japan (I have already learnt Japanese and spent a year abroad there). I was considering going to a manga school and entering the industry. But I also don't think I can deal with this schedule. I wish there was a more moderate path. Maybe there is. I believe some magazines are monthly. However, would you be able to survive on the salary of a monthly magazine.

[gustavelijah]

by watching this while making my own manga while i one shot my several characters personality in 6 to 8 page each characters in several days. i felt sad to the authors or mangaka creators who are publishing their 30 plus frames in one chapter in 2 or 1 week's before their deadline, with several hours of sleep can affect their health even their salary are not too high enough.

I just feel sad for

Bakuman is written by Death Note duo if anyone never heard about it and its a really good. Its a story about 2 students aspiring to become mangaka to serialized in Shounen-Jack (Shounen Jump) and the struggles comes with it
I watched the anime, it was really good so totally recommend manga if anyone is interested in it

[Key-kallum]

He knew what he was doing putting jojo in the thumbnail but it got me in so well played

[monstar]

I think this is the reason why I don’t personally mind a Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro chapter taking at least 2 weeks to even a month sometimes, since it seems like Nanashi (the author) is taking the time he needs to both live his life and write the manga series too!

[mayyiaz]

I’m reading Toilet Bound Hanako-kun. It’s pretty much the only manga I can find on my kindle, i don’t know any others.

[knifejail]

I cannot recommend enough of "Vagabond" by Takehiko Inoue. This manga is a masterpiece.

[KamuiPan]

Well, Yoshihiro Togashi, author of Hunter X Hunter was already famous even before Hunter X Hunter. He was the first artist to say no to the magazine and that he wouldn't be extending his series. I'm talking about Yu Yu Hakusho. One of the greatest manga/anime of all time for sure.
He earn his position and his schedule. If he wasn't famous already for decades they wouldn't let him slack like that.
In the end is the companies that have dependency on a great mangaka and not the other way around.
He was the first to point out this problem of overwork in fact when he decide to finish Yu Yu Hakusho with his origina vision and not what the company/magazine he was working for wanted.
Is the reason why many title lose quality over-time in terms of story, like Naruto and Bleach.
Is like you have this idea of a history on your head and the company make you extend your verse, your history so they can keep the sales.
Is not every day that the publishers get a good title after all.
Just think, every month they ditch some mangas that barely started. Many one-shots manga with 1 chapter.
But Oda got some time off. I think he had being send to the hospital for over-working at least once. And because he was famous since the start and he was already famous when that incident occur he got a week deal with Jump that he goes on a break, he was and is their golden egg chicken of sorts after all.
Togashi was already famous when Oda started Oda Piece. I'm a fan of Togashi since the 90's because of Yu Yu Hakusho and if you didn't watch it you are missing out.

Last year I was still fine when drawing on a desk, i was working for a project but suddenly one day my neck started to hurt, I just passed it off for a week and it's still there whenever I look down on a desk for too long(I can't even stay on a desk for atleast 2 hrs without my neck hurting)

This really forced me to draw on my bed and still currently do. I wanna make an appointment with a doctor someday, but the infamous david-19 is preventing that

[RoronoaZoro-btsd]

Love your chanel mate. Btw, that picture of a mangaka just before the 14* min mark is the real picture of actual Eiichiro Oda haha. Just in case you didn't know. But that pic was taken when he was still young. There aren't that many (if any) of his recent pictures when he got older. The man just likes his privacy and doesn't want many pictures to be taken of him.

[uchanananas]

I reading Haikyuu, Assassination Classroom, Tokyo Ghoul and Black Butler at the same time. Cuz of my broke ass ı did not buy a new manga in 1 year and have no idea how to buy all of them :')

Fortunately tho from what I've seen right now, It seems like Shonen Jump is starting to give them some breaks. Horikoshi got alot of breaks in these past weeks and even Boichi got some break to go to India for some research. It is a small break but it is a step forward. We've seen so many mangaka passing away because of health issues (like for example Miura from Berserk) and it looks like Shonen Jump is considering this problem.

[vava]

I am a published author, even tho I am really young, and you have to trust me, it doesn’t matter how popular your work is, its still going to be just as hard or even harder than most popular series, please support manga authors ❤️

[rishansheth]

back again amazing videos and i am trying really hard to make my own manga but after this video i am rethinking that

[Onelostbutton]

I love watching your videos! I want to start my own story with my characters but I cant stick to it? I will have one idea and then a new one the next day. Do you know what I could do to help me get started? Also thank you for all the content!

[KamuiPan]

I don't even think Oda has a photo out. A legit one at least. He doesn't like the cameras. I don't care, even if his work was not spetacular (it is), that wouldn't matter much.
Many mangakas are like that. I think few like the spotlight. From my head I think of Akira Toryiama, Hirohiko Araki (JoJo) and Masashi Kishimoto. I think Yoshihiro Togashi has some old pics?
At least is the ones that I seen more than once in interviews, events and what not.
