Mangaka dies of stroke at the age of 29

I wanna be like Beet the Vandal Buster and be awake for 3 days but then sleep for 24 hrs
What a weird character trait that was.

If you cook + cleanup, but yeah make all your meals in bulk.

Based retard

>implying davinci was driving his horse cart down the appian way at full speed while he was on his weird nap schedule

That's probably just because the chart is split into 1 hour intervals. They probably take a lot less than that and then get back to work.

The problem I have with that is still that I know Japanese work culture is "stay at work for 10 hours, effectively do 2 hours of actual work" because their society revolves around "appearing busy" rather than actual constant labor, so I must question the "works 10 hours a day on his comic" meme on that basis. There's no way a mangaka who only has a chance of making decent money if he gets successful is doing more real work than a fucking salaryman working for a big company making big jap bucks, otherwise there would be no incentive to do it.

What are you trying to say? Work effort and salary are often inversed.

>"stay at work for 10 hours, effectively do 2 hours of actual work" because their society revolves around "appearing busy"
I don't think that applies to home office where you don't have your corporate overlords cracking the whip.

But that still means he's unlikely to be working constantly for 10 hours. It's probably work a while, take a rice break, work some more, count it all as "on the job" time.

Because those breaks are probably 15 minutes and the chart counts 1 hour slots.

Do you guys really see working for 10+ hours at a time something undoable? My shifts are usually 13 hrs+, no breaks.

Have you watched murata's stream? It's like 10 hours for 1 page. Now imagine 16-20 pages per week.

Except that that particular field (comics, manga) is actually very intensive. Every major publisher has expectations that you will be able to answer deadlines. I think stateside your average comic book author has about 3 weeks to turn out a 6-10 page strip. 6-10 pages, 3 weeks.

That includes making your storyboard, composing your panels, doing your backgrounds (because guess what? you can't afford an assistant when you're trying to break into the field), and, you know, actually writing your story.

You've gotta draft your pages, outline your focal points/characters, ink them (color them too, depending on what kinda comic you're doing), and still have to get them approved. You can't just drop your stack of shit on someone's desk and expect them to stamp it APPROVED. Your editor becomes a necessary part of your process, so you've gotta work with him too.

Honestly, it's not surprising that someone drops dead at 29. It has to be one of the most tedious career choices out there. Everyone thinks it's all roses and big money, with deferment of misc. shit to an army of assistants. It's not. You're putting in serious time, effort, and thought--all the time--into whatever story you're trying to make. Little wonder why writers like Kishimoto go off the fucking rails with their storylines--they do not have the luxury of time to write anything decent.

Oh yeah, and you can't afford to be a slow drawer either. You have to average a solid page in 6-8 hours, otherwise your potential publisher will hand it back to you 9/10 times (unless you draw like Muira or something) and say, "yeah, 10 hours is too long. You need to improve your speed and efficiency."

Wait, the artist passed away? I actually liked that story

Well, you are not living a healthy life, user

>weak
Their culture, their lifestyles and their working conditions are downright lethal. Look up karoshi.

Being an xenophobic isolationist nation for so long lead to weak genes

I haven't been able to sleep properly in weeks.
Goddammit help me Yea Forums

I work 18 hours a day (with a 30 minute lunch break), 6 days per week for minimum wage and I've never complained about it. Nips are just pussies.

how convenient that all these young japanese artist happen to conspicuosly die of heart attacks. Surely this isn't about suicide

>18 hours a day
What is your work if you are allowed to chill typing on this chinese cartoon forum?

Shouldn't you be sleeping right now?

Irregular or insufficient sleeping habits can give you cardiac arrest.

I feel like this hectic life would take a toll on the Mangaka creative juices at some point or another. Lack of sleep plus working non-stop on a new chapter every week. I'd think you'd need to get your mind off things to refresh your mind.

nip-specific death note?

>30 minute lunch break

Fucking weak. Is that even work?

i feel sorry for you...

No you don't

hell I've been wanting them to change weekdays to 10 hour shifts so we could get 3 day weekends instead. Though I doubt that will ever happen but I'd rather work an extra 2 hours for an extra day on the weekend.

And while I typically work 8 hours a day, sometimes I've gone up to 12 or more depending if im on call or if we're busy. But we get breaks, they don't treat us like fucking slaves.

The Japanese aren't weak, just look at Murata.

Free up time in your schedule to catch some zzz, stimulate yourself both mentally as well as physically
Lay in bed instead of falling asleep at your desk from shitposting too long

One man cannot carry the industry. Murata is one of the best, so it's really not a fair comparison. OP looks like dogshit by comparison.

F, mind you.

I wish that were me

There's a reason so many mangaka are hacks who just reskin the most popular manga.

>I know Japanese work culture is "stay at work for 10 hours, effectively do 2 hours of actual work" because their society revolves around "appearing busy"
if true, this is valid for desk work not independent work which obviously has to generate output (in this case the manga). so what are you even saying

Who died?

>mangaka dies of stroke
>implying it's not some anti-fan that offed him and the polices decided it's a stroke to keep up the facade of peace

Despite the memes about Japan the Japanese have measured lower average hours than Americans at least a few times in the past decade. It's mostly a small part of the workforce, mostly white collar, that works over 60 hours. It is high, iirc like 8-9% of the work force worked over 60 hours a week on average. The US and the richer EU nations like Germany had 4-5% working over 60 hours. But the US has a higher overall average total hours worked per year per person.

Western media and western facing japanese outlets have created a microcosm of Japanese culture with their overtime memes. It affects a relatively small portion of their workforce in a disproportionate manner, which isn't great, but it's not that crazy when you consider it's within earshot of the west and those stories of people working crazy overtime are one in a thousand anecdotes. I mean just think about doctors in the US, or guys in tech working server development and support who could be on call 24/7 if something goes wrong. They also work crazy hours sometimes.

If you want to talk about real crazy hours South Koreans consistently chart in the top 5 most hours worked a year and have crazy over time and have the highest suicide rate in the world. Japan's in general just a little worse than the west and in many ways comparable to the US. Korea though, nutjobs

>Who died?

Poor nips

That's not something to brag about you fucking retard. Get a better job.

>working 18 hours a day for minimum wage

Creative work is not about the money

Shitty work hours, lack of a consistent sleeping pattern and nuclear contaminated fish

How is it knowing that you're gonna live less than a mangaka?

Gotta sleep more.

i hope they'll introduce a law where no one in the entertainment industry is allowed to work on saturdays/sunday

Why don't small studios work on manga the way that studios work on anime?
Simply dividing the labor more effectively beyond the mangaka and his assistants would make things far less stressful.

It honestly wouldn't even be that different for some of these authors who have many assistants working under them. They just need to hire more people so the author isn't responsible for as much.
Thought manga actually pulled their own weight in sales unlike many anime, so what is stopping them from doing this for large scale projects in weekly magazines?

jesus

because other authors that are known to have assistants are usually working under Weekly Shonen Jump, and the WSJ actually provides the assitant to their authors if requested. Other authors who do get assistants usually pay for those assistant's works.

Separating writing and illustrating duties is not really a guarantee that the work won't be dog shit. Most of American comics are still doing the Writer+Illustrator tandem and still most of the US comics are still dog shit.

You're fucking up both your body and your brain user. Sort it out

You become a mangaka because you want to make manga, not because you want to direct an assembly line. Using assistants already divorces the author from a lot of their work.

that's pretty much a violation of your rights as a human

what was the name of that mangaka who got fucking blown up?

>Not looking for a better job
What are you? Some kind of retard?

It's their soý diet

You're going to die of a heart attack.

Haven’t your mother ever taught you to chew your food properly?

Are you a CEO or something? If not you're a fucking retard. Go read up on how damaging sleeping less that 6 hours a day is.

If you can stay productive sleeping that little, then good on you. Sleep is such a massive waste of time.

I would ask why you sound so braindead, but it's probably because you think sleep is a waste of time.

Based.

I have a theory that everyone has a set amount of "awake time" (with fluctuation based on diet, health and other factors). The less you sleep the quicker you spend all those "awake time".

A non-shit isekai that actually plays to classic fantasy and the author gets assassinated.

Japanese people are actually the most underslept in the world, they have a culture around not sleeping.

It's disgusting.

Santa Clause in Australia.

>assassinated
What the FUCK?

>I allow my employer to abuse me and control my life for scraps and he can fire me at any moment making all the slave level work i havnt been complaining about meaningless

If that were all true, you'd be making overtime pay out the ass, and I can't think of any company that will routinely give out that much OT to someone making minimum wage.

I'd love to see any reasonable way for that to beimplemented
>Murata is doodling on a Saturday while taking a shit
>police storms in
>(in Japanese)oi m8, you're breaking the fooking law, to the cells with you

But sleep IS a waste of time, it's just that it's one forced by our bodies - if I had a choice, I wouldn't waste a third of my life on doing literally nothing
then again if humans didn't need sleep you can bet the working hours would get doubled because how dare you actually have free time

And yet 90% of the material they churn out is dog shit.

> 18 hours a day
