“Personally I cracked up at Shiba casually one-handing a thing that, container included, probably weighs around 40kg. By real-world standards that's absurd strength.”

個人的には柴さんが恐らく容器合わせて40kgくらいありそうな物体を当然のように片手で軽く持ってるの笑ってしまった 現実基準で考えたらとてつもない力だ

  • Can the people blaming the editorial department actually read? The AUTHOR is the one who wanted to keep going, and the editors are the ones who forced him to rest. The author was clearly overworking, so the editors who made him stop are honestly admirable. That said — weekly serialization really is past its era. They should switch to something like biweekly: double the roster of authors, and keep shipping the magazine every week.

    これが編集部の責任って言ってる奴文字読めてんの？作者本人がやりたいって言ってんのを編集部が無理やり休ませたんだろ？どう考えても作者がオーバーワーク気味だったからやめさせた編集部は立派だろ。 ただ週刊連載ってもう時代じゃないってのはあるよな。隔週ぐらいに変えたほうがよさそう。抱える作家を2倍に増やして毎週発行は継続にして。

  • From the author's side, of course they want to keep going even as their body breaks down. In Jump, where competition is already cutthroat, taking a clumsy break and losing fans means it's over — every single day is a battlefield, so it makes total sense if resting feels almost suicidal. They say Showa-era authors were so traumatized by their lean early years that they overloaded themselves with work, and Jump authors are surely no different.

    作者からしたら身体にガタが来てもやりたいってのは当然なんだよな ただでさえ競争過多のジャンプで下手に休んでファンが離れたら終わりだし、毎日が戦場で休みなんて自殺行為に近いものだと思っててもおかしくない 昭和の頃の作家は仕事がない時期のことがトラウマで何本も仕事を抱えてしまってたというが、ジャンプ作家もまた然りだろ

  • An overseas trip is absolutely not something they should've made the author do. Even a regular person needs days off to recover from one — so why make an already-overworked weekly mangaka do it? And it's not like he was taking constant hiatuses the way One Piece does, either.

    海外遠征とか絶対作者にやらせることじゃなかったよな。一般人でも数日の休みを要するのに何で激務の週刊漫画家にやらせてるんだ？しかもワンピみたいに休載だらけって訳じゃなかったし

  • Most mangaka do this because they love it, and the majority simply can't hit the brakes themselves. The editor is supposed to be that brake — so this editor is actually doing their job right.

    そもそも漫画家の大半は好きでやっていて自分でブレーキがかけられない人の方が多いからな。 そのブレーキ役が編集だから今回の編集はちゃんと仕事してる。

  • Keep the magazine weekly, but put individual series on a biweekly rotation — that'd be better. Sales would probably get uneven, but protecting the mangaka's health has to come first.

    週間はそのままで作品は隔週形態にするとかしたほうが良いな。そうなると売上にばらつき出そうだけど、まず漫画家の健康守らんと

  • Sparing him just because he's a useful messenger was the enemy's biggest blunder. With an ability like his you have to take him out first no matter what. They figured he couldn't do anything, then he starts building some insane stuff, lol.

    メッセンジャーとして有能だからって、〇さなかったのが敵の最大の失敗だな。こんな能力持ち、何をおいても始末しないと手が付けられないだろう。 どうせ何も出来ないとタカをくくってたら、とんでもねぇ代物が作られ始めるの草生える。

  • Weekly serialization is the "sin" half of Osamu Tezuka's legacy of merits and sins… Not every mangaka is a superhuman like you, asking your assistants with a straight face, "Why are you sleepy?"

    週間連載は手塚治虫の残した功罪の罪の方だな… 全ての漫画家があなたみたいに「なんで眠いんですか？」と真顔でアシに聞くような超人じゃないんだ…。

  • Kagurabachi has a lot of great character contrasts: people who get it and put conviction over reality, versus people who get it but put reality over conviction.

  • Maybe the weekly manga magazine itself has just become unsustainable.

  • Readers are on Kunishige's side so we just don't like it, but it's the safe play, can't really blame him. That said, still don't like him.

  • Jujutsu Kaisen had a ton of hiatuses near the end too, and the author was saying he wanted to wrap it up fast, so the finale got full of contradictions and retcons… Honestly he should've just taken a six-month break to rest and properly plot it out.

    呪術も終盤休載多くて作者が連載早く終わらせたいとか言って終盤矛盾や後付け多い展開にしてたからな… 半年くらい休載して休んでストーリー練っとけば良かったなぁ

Editor's note

When Kagurabachi announced its hiatus, the Japanese reaction wasn't frustration — it was protectiveness: “please don't let them crush you… rest well.” That, plus chapter threads proudly calling the betrayal in advance, tells you how personally this fandom takes the series.
