Has she even had a focus arc yet? (The fight with Bakugo doesn't count as an arc.)

She has not, I was kind of hoping after all the fights we got this arc that her, Tsuyu, Hadou and Dragon Lady would get a chance too and that they haven't is super disappointing. Hopefully they get some focus next arc, or Ochako at least since she made that declaration to improve herself like Deku has. She did say something like that, right?

A lot of her recent screentime has been about her admiration of him (granted largely about how that's confusing her since she's crushing on him as well) and back during the tournament she agreed with Iida about wanting to challenge and compete with Deku.

Horikoshi needs to do what Toriyama did and change his author avatar to a robot. Then he'll be above human weaknesses like fatigue and illness.

Maybe he can follow Oda's example of 3 chapters 1 break.

It would be nice if they let the author get like 6 chapters ahead of publication before beginning the run so they can have some breathing room. Instead of literally working them to death.

Being a manga author sounds loving miserable Like for everyone stock post-series wrap up interview where the author goes "I'm going right back to work, please support me in the future!" you get stuff like Kishimoto's "Haha gently caress all of you I'm going on my honeymoon three years late" or Kubo's "I had to stop because my doctor said I was going to die" Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Sep 22, 2017 |

I don't genuinely think he's got long running health issues or anything but considering he's had a bunch of breaks this year which weren't telegraphed ahead of time, maybe he should say in the next issue that he's taking a month to chill out and recoup and then come back refreshed. Obviously, WSJ is famously rather cutthroat so he's probably worried that taking a month out is going to get the knives out so he can't.

I don't know if he's willing to take the gamble, but he probably has the clout and standing to demand the time. It's never going to be One Piece, but he's definitely got the footing to still pull numbers if he went indie. Kicking him because he needed a vacation would be cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I know we all love Horkoshi but he's not Oda and he's not Togashi. He's still effectively a rookie with a string of failed series behind him and a current hit that's too early to really put him in the big leagues.

Oda is royalty and he only started doing the break thing in the last handful of years out of 20 he has been on at WSJ. To be fair, they let Togashi literally just come and go as he pleases but for some reason I recall him having a good/iron-clad contract. The only other mangaka I know that got sick this year was Tataba from Black Clover. He missed I think 2 chapters and had a handful that were really sketchy. Some for unknown reasons, and recently because he had a loving asthma attack and was hospitalized. This whole arc has been regularly interrupted or short/sketchy per chapter. He really needs to just find a good time to take a month off or something. Edit: Oh yeah, World Trigger guy has been out for over a year now and his manga was a distinctly middle/upper pack deal. He may never be back since it sounds like his neck is really, really hosed up. I think Hori could negotiate a rest period for sure- MHA doesn't move One Piece level of volumes but it still does really well and apparently just moves a ridiculous amount of merch- also the mangazine in general is experiencing a lack of big hits. Dr. Stone, The Promised Neverland, and Kimetsu No Yaiba are doing well in terms of relative popularity but their volume sales have been on the pretty mediocre side with TPN only recently breaking out of the "sumo club".

I was reading some MHA earlier and it looked a bit sketchy actually, I think it was around the OfA fight.

Manga artists seriously need some sort of union to protect them from not only their publishers but also each other. The industry that pretty much requires them to work to death otherwise one of their competitors will get a chance to swoop in and ruin them is pretty disgusting. I get that entertainment is cut throat, but there's no reason that anyone couldn't have Oda's schedule by default and they just organize everyone's chapters around that.

It's interesting that this chapter actually delves into the history of how the whole hero system came to be. It pretty much sounds like "what if Iron Man won in Captain America: Civil War?" to me. I wonder how much input Horikoshi has here?

It's all Osamu Tezuka's fault. He had such an insane work ethic that it set an impossible standard for everyone else. Of course, it probably helped that he had a relatively simple style and reused character designs and personalities all the time. Not as many people imitate that part, sadly.

Yeah I actually saw some artists complaining a little while ago not to treat that guy like a god since he (I hope inadvertently) standardized a lot of the horrible working conditions that modern comic creators are expected to follow.
