Every fan familiar with the anime-manga industry is aware of the challenging working conditions of everyone involved. Each mangaka has a different approach towards the hectic scheduling and whether they choose to speak about it or not. One of the most respected figures in the industry, Eiichiro Oda, always knew that he wanted to keep his struggles discrete from fans. However, one of his contemporaries had the exact opposite approach.
Known for his contrarian ways, Tite Kubo never shies away from being vocal about anything and everything. He is honest and outspoken about many things that others in the industry never speak about. This distinct quality of the mangaka has appealed to fans and they appreciate his honesty and personality. But, maybe it’s safe to assume that Kubo’s approach is something that Oda doesn’t completely agree with based on one revelation he shared in the past.
Eiichiro Oda’s Ethics: The Key toOne Piece’s Success
One Piecehas been going strong for more than 25 years. This feat isn’t only impressive but also arduous in every possible, physically and mentally.Eiichiro Odahas faced many ups and downs with his health, and seemingly found ways to work around it with regular breaks. Whenever Oda goes on a prolonged break, an official statement is issued where the reason behind the break is explained.
Beyond that, there’s not much known about Oda’s struggles. He doesn’t share with his readers how his job affects his health unless he has to go on an extended break. There’s a reason why Oda refrains from sharing details about the difficulties he faces on a daily basis. Duringan interview, Oda shared that a particular experience from his past pushed him to never share his own struggles with his readers.
I once read about a manga artist’s struggles in the author’s corner (where they write rantings) and told myself that I wouldn’t write such things.
Seemingly, he also believed that there was no point in sharing as the readers wouldn’t be able to understand the exact situation anyway. The reason behind this approach is simply because he wants the readers to enjoy the content rather than exposing them to something that could cause worry. This is probably the secret of his success as he’s dedicated to delivering wonderful chapters to his audience without diluting the experience.
While many readers and fans of different series are empathetic towards the creator, there are some who just want their daily dose of content before anything else. This leads to some fans pushing or harshly criticizing the creator during difficult times, due to their inability to update the story as per usual.

In such cases,Tite Kubo‘s approach seems the ideal way out. Kubo is always quite honest and vocal about what he’s doing, whether it’s positive or negative. He doesn’t necessarily share details about his personal life or go on long rants, but just keeps his readers in the loop.
Kubo’s Struggles and their Effects onBleach
Bleachhad an impressive 15-year-long run, with a new chapter coming out every week. Keeping up with the weekly deadlines was extremely daunting, and there were times when the manga would go on breaks as the hectic schedule would take a tollon Kubo’s health. Many fans suspected thatBleach’s ending was rushed due to his deteriorating health. While there’s no confirmation on that, the mangakadid sharethat after ending the manga his overall health suffered quite a lot.

Over the years, he has showcased his unyielding and outspoken attitude several times, and it’s quite admirable. He once gavea harsh replyto his critics as well. All of this suggests that one could strive for balance between being vocal about their struggles without going overboard with it.
