Came here to say the same, he is the true king of hiatus in manga. |

I really expected to see CLAMP take second place, yet they are nowhere to be found. They keep putting projects on hold because they come up with something new, so while they are producing stuff, I would like them to just finish things off every once in a while.
Those four need better time management. Also, I didn't know Daisuke Ashihara's (World Trigger) condition was that serious. I hope he is able to keep doing what he loves as long as possible. Health always comes first. |

They have so many series on hiatus, fans probably couldn't decide on just one. |

Yeah, but you can't compare Oda with those on the list. His breaks are necessary and at least he doesn't take a break for months. There may or may not some authors who would really need a break. |

As has been stated, many of these authors have health problems. But then you have authors like Azuma(Yotsuba&!) and Hiroe(Black Lagoon) who truly just do whatever they want. Azuma and Hiroe are on Twitter; and in Hiroe's case he tweets every day! Hiroe's even working on an anime concurrently with Black Lagoon.

I think people would be a bit more sympathetic if he'd at least hire some assistants. |

He does though. He confirms it in the KishimotoxTogashi interview a few months back. |

It seems that Togashi finished YuYu Hakusho rather quickly. 19 volumes in four years is actually very prolific.
It looks like the first 10 to 20 volumes of Hunter x Hunter were also released rather quickly and it was only after that that he started to slow down. Maybe he really did develop a medical problem about 12 years ago. Not that it matters but I have never read Hunter x Hunter. I should try it because I really liked the YuYu Hakusho manga and anime. Edited to correct a typo. Last edited by Touma on Sat Jan 28, 2017 1:27 pm; edited 1 time in total |

New volumes of Guyver actually chart on the best seller list which surprises me when ever they show up as it's 32nd birthday is in less than a month. |

well thats probably because so much happens in just one chapter of one piece. 3 of his chapters a month is easily more content than 4 of other mangas. |

Another deal is that Oda takes a large quantity of breaks, but they're always one week except on special occasions and holidays. They're also at regular intervals, so people who follow One Piece closely will know they're coming and know the series will be back the week after that. |

Reading HxH already tells you he's justified in taking these breaks. Every arc is written with so much planning and elaborate detail, it needs the time for thinking that Togashi does every hiatus.

Berserk and Bastard!! should be way higher. Honestly, I thought Bastard!! was just cancelled or something, but yeah, HunterXHunter for #1 on this list for sure. Too much Idolm@ster I guess.

My two parents have back issues so I know first hand how much it can break a person. But some days are better then others. I think the last batch of chapters proved what people suspected. Togashi PLANS A LOT. The last batch of chapters was a battle we never thought we'd see and he freaking knocked it out of the park. Quality over quantity is definitely the case with his work. On his hiatus he plans the next arcs, character development, I wouldn't be surprised if he reads his old chapters and finds plot points he can expand on. |

Agreed. Typically ND does a volumes worth of chapters, then goes off for half a year, then another volume. The 2014-2015 period was a long hiatus, but Kurumada was celebrating his anniversary by going back to other work. You can't fault a guy for wanting to enjoy his 40th anniversary by doing something different. I wonder how much of the delays are due to coloring and how much are due to his hand injury. I have to imagine that slowed him down at his age. Either way, I don't regret the delays if they come from either. Can't fault a guy his age for an injury, and I like the full color chapters: 
The man knows how to make something look amazing in color (the coloring in the volumes tends to look even better than the digital chapter coloring). |

) the title didn't actually say 'Searching for AW'. It said 'Visitng AW - Call 1'. Does that mean new arc? I hope so.
