Why can't we just use nen powers to transfer Togashi's pain to Kubo.

And perhaps if he didn't try for weekly things would be better for everybody.

I don't really understand what you're expecting. If he has health issues that prevent him from working then working monthly doesn't mean much. At best it just means you're getting a more 'consistent' schedule instead which is utterly meaningless.

Keep on GOP rolling rolling rolling rolling.

I wonder if he is avoiding getting surgery? Like at the severity of pain he is in a doctor in america might have prescribed him getting his back worked on to fix the poo poo he did to it. Not sure about japans medical system but he probably could afford it?

His doctor said he was on track to not need it in one of his messages.

All of your posts read as though they're written by a person who has never had anything close to debilitating pain by any means.

Kubo suffers from mental anguish from being unable to only draw 2 page fashion spreads. Togashi suffers from physical torment. They are two sides of the same coin.

Kubo can draw pretty well all things considered. He cant write an interesting power for the life of him though so having someone like Togashi coming up with the writing and scenarios and Kubo drawing it would actually be pretty good. Togashi would still have to come up with the character designs though.

one of the things i really like about hxh are the cartoony and exaggerated character designs, there are a lot of really cool minor characters that I remember because of their design

Yes. And in his line of work (published author) he only gets paid when he publishes something. He isn't like you (assumption here) or me with monthly wages.

He only publishes a volume in a year and a half, instead of three volumes, he has three times less income.

So... I don't think anyone have problems with the economic issue?

What I want is for him to make up his drat mind, decide on a schedule, whether that's one a year, once a quarter, once a month or whatever and stick to it.

(Why do people keep mentioning the ridiculous schedule thing? I keep harping that he could just switch to monthly or some other reasonable schedule instead of the actual complete lack of one)

Probably because he doesn't want to. Whether it's simply how he prefers to work or if he thinks it fits the pacing he wants to create better, he chooses to do it weekly when he's able to. If you're really that upset about things then just drop the manga for a few years and pick it up when there's a larger stock of chapters available.

What would it change if he's bedridden for such long periods of time exactly. Just stop and think about what you're posting here, it's really dumb. I mean I want more HxH like everyone else here, but I'd rather the guy be healthy than be forced to draw just because you want a more " consistent" release schedule.

I've heard some kind of questionable things about Japan's medical system. It's possible that they may be the sort of country that is extremely hesitant to perform surgery (or even prescribe narcotic pain-killers) in situations that aren't explicitly threatening to kill you or cause permanent damage.

Eh, it does suck that he just ups and disappears with little "justification" as to why other than "mysterious illness thing". I dunno, there ARE ways that he could keep a more consistent schedule that aren't working 11h shifts as a broken human being (unless he's in such dire straits ALL THE TIME that he can't get anything done, in which case just...retire?). He just chooses not to take them, which sucks for us. Also, yeah, there might be weird Japanese social conventions in place here but I can't switch to a completely foreign mindset so...

Maybe he legitimately likes doing it when he isn't bedridden, and the disease is preventing him from enjoying both his vocation and avocation?

Might be so, but it seems a bit...disingenuous to keep it in as a weekly format with tons of hiatuses. Although I suppose by now it's basically a "special feature" in Jump anyway, so it barely matters. But if he literally could not do it for anything from 6 to 12 months at times for the last half decade, sheesh, maybe it's better to just retire, even if it's a temporary retirement. I just think there's a chasm between wanting a slightly more regular schedule from a manga that's supposed to be weekly and wanting a crippled man to slave for 12h shifts, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

But we don't even know if this hiatus is one of the fabled HxH hiatuses, maybe it's a couple of weeks and we'll get more stuff.

If he's got chronic pain then his nociceptors might be hyper sensitive to the point where regular painkillers no longer work.
Untreated pain will give you a million loving problems. It's a real issue

I cannot endorse or understand this position. The fact people think Kubo is a good artist in general or comic artist in specific is baffling to me.

He has some cool designs, but he could make better use of page space when conveying all sorts of scenes. A lot of the time you could expect more out of a page, but you only have something like a face and a hand covering a two page spread with white background.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Kubo's pretty good at drawing and is more than capable of making good character designs but he has some real bad hang-ups and habits he keeps falling back on. The pages and pages of nothing happening and bad panel layouts is one, but also I hate how he conveys characters being 2cool4skool by always drawing their eyes half opened. It's one of the most minor things but it bothers me so much.

Why is having a more consistent schedule "utterly meaningless" when the complaints are "I wish this was released more consistently?" Yall crazy posting right now for sure.
