Why is Togashi allowed to take so many long breaks? Not even Oda gets that privilege

It selling well and Shueisha wanting to keep him on have nothing to do with him owning the rights to it. Part of it may be that they know if they get rid of him that he could go somewhere else but Shueisha is free to get rid of him if they want even if he owns the brand.

Doesn't Shueisha force Oda to take occasional short breaks? Liking what you do to the point of endangering your health is the opposite of slavery. Shueisha would probably want him to take more breaks than he does because they don't want their golden goose to die, but at the same time, even with other moderately popular series, having One Piece gone for any significant amount of time would probably be dangerous for the company.

>More like he's a cuck who's too scared to go against authority

One piece has breaks every couple or so chapters.

Because Oda actually cares for his fans, I won't call one series better than the other, but Togashi really doesn't give a shit about HxH anymore, he only comes back to work when he needs a new car or redecorate a room of his house, he doesn't want or need to work on HxH anymore, half of the content he comes up with is just a recap of the previous batch of chapters, is infuriating how he trat his readers like retards and yet, they are still giving him money, regardles of your opinion on this kind of people, he really hit the jackpot at life, to put it simple, HxH is easy money for Togashi.

>Why is Togashi allowed to take so many long breaks?
He owns his stuff and has a particular contract too apparently.
He's not even the worst case of hiatus when it comes to Shueisha's stuff, Hagiwara for instance beats him hands down since he hasn't made a new Bastard!! chapter in like, five years.

>he owns the manga
What? and the other popular SJ artists do not?
How the fuck was he the only one to manage that?

Apparently Togashi got a raw deal towards the end of YYH so they gave him a good contract for his next manga

He pretty much singlehandedly saved Jump with YYH back in the days while slaving away like a madman, so they gave him carte blanche on his next work, and he accepted, which is why he owns HxH and can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

Bec he already had a mega successful series before HxH so he had more leverage.

Was Jump really that bad off? Wasn't DB still running? Or was this after it ended?

This. Oda is literally forced to take breaks or else he wouldn't stop until he died of exhaustion.

>YuYu Hakusho = 50 million in sales
>Hunter × Hunter = 72 million in sales
They'd be a dumbass to get rid of him. They're stil making a huge profit even with the breaks.

It's not certain but they want to make sure.
Other mangaka work as hard.
Only lazy pieces of shit like Togashi and Miura take eternal breaks.

Oda's breaks are forced on him to keep him acceptably healthy. He probably could take long hiatuses, but he doesn't want to, because he genuinely enjoys what he's doing.

Yeah we can't let another magazine have series that updates once a year

It's not just the work, it's Oda's shitty habits as well, particularly the smoking. That combined with the crazy workaholic attitude makes for a walking potential catastrophe.

>HxH sells 1M per volume when most series are struggling to sell more than 100k

Not only was Dragonball still going when YYH started, Yu Yu Hakusho actually ended first.

They were fine. They're completely fucked now though since they have nothing to replace One Piece, and Togashi is a lazy fuck.

Isn't Promised Neverland ending too? Heard it's in the final arc or something.

How does this fucker manage to play Dragon Quest for years? I understand Monster Hunter, but fucking Dragon Quest!? It's a single player JRPG, he must of 100% it multiple times over.

>Only lazy pieces of shit like Togashi and Miura take eternal breaks.
Most of the mangaka that take long breaks are the older ones in their fifties or sixties, Inoue is the same, Katsura has also being inactive for along time now and mostly works for anime/vidya, same stuff for Hagiwara.
It isn't laziness as much as it's age.

Boku no Cuck will save them.

It's a meme. Stop being a retard. He posted a pic of himself playing before and now that's all what everyone says.

Even if it isn't, One Piece still won't end for another 5-10 years, and TPN will more than likely end before then.

>1m per volume lifestyle

Togashi plays a metric shitton of JRPGs, not just Dragon Quest, people in japan have long speculated how Netero's Kannon was a homage to the Romancing SaGa games for instance.

Other authors actually plan on finishing their series.

He doesn't just play DQ. At least according to his assistants, he played Resident Evil 2 the day it came out and beat it in a couple hours instead of working on YYH.

Promised Neverland is ending, yes. It's getting harder and harder to make a standout series that can also run longer than five years.

Togashi's 50 something now but he's had shitty hiatuses for over a decade at this point. Miura's the same age as Togashi but is the same way. And Miura's been monthly (or bimonthly?) for the entire run of Berserk and also has been hiatus-prone for over a decade at this point.

I mean to be fair, RE2 has two of the best girls in the franchise

Hori is being groomed to take over the golden throne and give his lifes blood to keep WSJ alive once Oda is dead.

At least Miura has excuse of ART

He was able to draw better on a monthly basis 20 years ago.

peak comfy
they don't make consoles like these anymore

die

His art has downgraded.

while "singlehandedly saved Jump" isn't true, his back problems started because of YYH and he contemplated suicide back then, it fucked up his health both mental and physical
I believe it gave him leverage when jump asked him to make a long running series and he said he would agree only if he fully owns the series

HxH just sells well whenever it comes back and while it's away it doesn't bother anyone

>Not even Oda gets that privilege
Oda isn't a lazy faggot. He doesn't want to take breaks. Jump FORCES them on him.

Togashi has legitimate health problems that were confirmed by multiple sources, he fucked up his back back when he was drawing YYH

Togashi playing Dragon Quest is a meme that originated from this picture , it doesn't actually have much basis in reality

But that profit is spread out over a much larger amount of time, so they make less annually off of HxH than with YYH despite HxH having higher sales.

>thinks single volume sales matter the most
Selling less per volume but having a higher volume count will generate more sales so you and everyone else who thinks hxh is the second best selling manga in JUMP are wrong.

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-11-29/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series-2018/.140163

It sale well beside one piece no manga selling >1millon per vol and only 4 manga selling >500k

>thinks hxh is the second best selling manga
Point me above to a single comment that said this. I dare you. He literally only releases 1 volume or less per year. Of course those who release 3-4 volumes a year will have more sales combined.

>who thinks hxh is the second best selling manga in JUMP are wrong
Nope are you think sales per vol doesn't matter? If hxh only salling 200k per vol are you think shuheisha still okay?

>that doesn't necessarily mean he can do whatever he wants when working for who he's working for
But he can. What are they gonna do? Fire him?

See

Am I supposed to understand what ESL-kun said?

>But he can. What are they gonna do? Fire him?
Yeah. Just because he owns HXH doesn't mean anything. It wouldn't keep Shueisha from firing him if he really pissed them off. Money wise it would be a bad idea because he could go elsewhere but it wouldn't protect him from being canceled like a good contract would.

Why can't he just self-publish? I really don't see any use for a middleman for him since obscurity is obviously not a problem.

So what bruh he should suck it up. Oda had to tape his pencil into his hand to draw because his hands have gnarled into claws but he still keeps going.

Same reason why many authors still traditionally publish instead of self-publishing on Kindle. They just want to write & don't want to focus on coming up with covers, hiring editors, proofreaders, dealing with printing, advertising, marketing etc.

he doesn't take breaks. Breaks implies you're working most of the time while Togashi only occasionally writes a chapter

Based Togashi.

This gets me thinking:
How much does Oda own One Piece? Or does wsj own the entire rights to the manga?

Yu Yu Hakusho saved the publisher, he gets special privileges. It also helps that HxH spikes sales every time it's back.

Remember how 8 months ago Togashi said he finished storyboards for next batch of chapters and that this hiatus won't be long? That was 2018.

>Togashi really doesn't give a shit about HxH anymore
He had a perfect chance to end the series and didn't. Instead he said he had plenty of things he still wanted to do. Togashi cares on HxH, just very very selfishly (like a Hunter). Look at Berserk, now that's a series that has lost its passion.

I don't see anyone ousting him tho. You should try since you're so clean and scheduled.

That's peak performance right there.

O MY MEMORIES

Saved the publisher? Nigger the 90's and 00's was a damn good time for WSJ, and at no point did YYH singlehandedly carry a damn thing.

Togashi shouldn't even said that shit in the first place but luckily for him Hunterfags are buncg of kicked puppies will comes running back regardless of how much Tofagshi shits in their faces.

Oda could go on hiatus but he doesn't want Japan's GDP to drop like that

Basically, Jump was a phenomenon during the first half of the nineties, they had Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, YuYu Hakusho, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Parts 3, 4 and 5 and a lot of other amazing stuff that made sales absolutely insane.
After those titles ended, things were starting to cool off, so they wanted to bring back the artists behind the hit series for another round, Togashi agreed to come back if he got to do things the way he wanted, since the end of YYH messed him up all around, and Jump said yes.

Doesn't Kaz make millions of the card game. I'd say he got the better deal there

He traded his spine for jello, but in exchange gained practically immunity to SJ breathing down his neck.

I'd like to think he takes writing hxh as a hobby more than a job, its better this way.

Berserk is in a weird spot of running since forever, the mangakas shifting interests and a heavy dosis of "Shit, i never thought through how to end this without a ungodly asspull, have it?".

Togashi's fucking relatable lack of motivation and slothfulness makes me love him even more

They know he doesnt have any kind of potential anymore. Same with Miura, they leave them be because they don't have anything else anymore.

Why exactly should they care how long he takes? It's not like seeing this shit end is in their best financial interests and Togashi's work isn't the merchandising machine that other big name Jump titles are/were.

Yeah, he probably had to buy the rights. But the Shaman King IP is more or less dead now, so he is probably broke.

HxH is a legacy title that only caters to long-term readers or people jumping on after the success of the anime. Basically it doesn't need the pressure to be 'new' and 'constantly updating' because it isn't catering to SJ's usual audience. Also, Togashi has SJ by the fucking balls, they can't fuck with him after the YYH debacle.

Remember that a lot of SJ properties have anime series actively promoting them. The manga always has to be in front of the anime otherwise all kinds of problems can occur.

good question, ppl like Hoshino Katsura and Kurumada have to move to several publishers to keep releasing their mangas after long hiatuses but this mother fucker has been in hiatus for years and years and he just comes back like nothing happened

You answered the question. They don’t wanna lose HxH you dumbass

Attached: what did he mean by this.jpg (983x478, 76K)

Around the time Togashi re negotiated his deal with Jump, a lot of authors were leaving, so he had a lot of leverage. Don't think that's the only reason (some user mentioned his back problems) but that was part of it.

To be fair, drawing manga for faggots is not fun.

2009 is really bad. I couldn't imagine having to sit through CA as it released.

The comment clearly meant Oda should take a break every now & then. Fix your reading comprehension.

He is basically untouchable. He (along with Akira Toryama) saved WSJ ass when they were fucked up, which granted him a contract where he could do whatever he wanted with his new series.

Oh give me a fucking break the last arc is better than the ant arc

This thread is making me feel bad for buying the HxH manga, I'm only 4 volumes in

Give them to me.

>t. insolent retard

I don't see why. Shueisha is only interested in publishing manga that sell. They don't care about mangaka as people. There is no reason why Togashi should be loyal to them. If you like the HxH manga, you buy it because you want to have it. There is no reason why Togashi should be loyal to you.

Being a mangaka is something Togashi chose because he likes manga and he won a contest he entered on a whim while attending college. He would be teaching art in a high school or a college, and maybe had a blog for his art. He would have never become a mangaka without that contest. He does no love drawing the same way Oda or Kishimoto do. He loves studying and experiencing art, and just happens to be good at making it too. So he is going to spend considerably less time drawing than Oda.

Read Bakuman if you want. Togashi is a character in that manga.

>t.dumb autist

Who is Togashi supposed to be in Bakuman? The Otter 11 guy? Shit manga overall but he was fun.

lmao, WSJ without One Piece would be finished. Oda could literally stop doing anything for a year and they wouldn't be able to say a thing, god forbid they may enrage him and make the biggest cash cow in the entire market go to another magazine. They're lucky he likes his job so much.

>t. stupid fag

That's literally untrue. WSJ owns One Piece, they can do whatever they want with the IP. If Oda stopped working they could just give it to someone else, hell Boichi literally redrew an entire OP chapter recently. They could also milk it with spinoffs.

One Piece and other manga in Jump are only 50% Shueisha. Oda could probably buy that 50% if he wanted. The Shaman King guy bought his own IP (and then crashed it into the ground).

As shit as it is, Shueisha is not Marvel/DC where creators own nothing besides a wage.

>t. retarded fujo

He spends 14 hours a day playing video games and another 2 hours watching homosexual child pornography to come up with ideas for HxH.

>Instead of just getting surgery for his back he would rather lay on said hurt back for months, do some chapters and go back to doing that routine instead of taking a year off and then going back to be to do weekly again like before

Yeah I'm sure that will work out well. Oda not working on it would fucking kill it.

Even marries a female mangaka.

He really tried to make a sequel but damn.

>t. retarded dumb tranny

Just because he isn't publishing doesn't mean he's laying on his back retard. Togashi goes on vacations with his family, goes to concerts, raises his children, consumes media of all kinds, and actually lives his life unlike the other slaves. Pic is fairly recent from a Keyakizaka96 concert.

But he already stated that HxH is in fact over, the current arc is basically the Boruto of the series.

Lashing out at things you don't understand is a sign of low IQ, user. It's the most complex arc ever in the literal sense of the word, with countless interconnecting plot points, factions, and details. That has been successful in sturdily establishing not just the divergent princely factions but the fact that even within those factions, there are many guards and servants and retainers who retain legitimate agency. An arc about political maneuvering and indirect actions, where information is absolutely crucial, as well as leverage and diplomatic measures. Like a proper political thriller. There's nothing else on its level in manga.
