INTEREST: Publisher Denies Rumors of One Piece Going to Monthly Serialization

This. He pretty much talked about it every single week. But people still think that they have the right to call him whatever they want.

First time I've heard about this rumor. People overreacting, Oda takes these one week breaks so that the editors are making sure they DON'T get another Hiatus x Hiatus. Wouldn't you want to protect your investments as much as possible, even if it might inconvenience some people in the short term? I've gotten used to getting these breaks here and there, as long as Oda can be effective and not land himself in the hospital like the last time, plus not give us a three to four week delay, then I'm very cool with it. It'd be a crying shame to invest almost fifteen years of my life on a great manga series and then not being able to find out what happens in the end because the author has to take a prolonged hiatus, or much worse.

Oda definitely deserves the kindest of treatment since he works hard for us, fans. Unlike someone, *cough x cough* who can't even disclose the exact illness and information about what he's going through. More power to Oda!

Togashi has spina bifida. It's not an illness, it's a disorder. He got out of surgery a year ago after having a metal rod inserted in his back.

Try working a weekly comics schedule with that kind of daily agony.

Then he should go monthly and stop jammin a spot in WSJ with his hiatus riddled manga. Regardless of if his Body is truthfully Failing him or he's making excuses for his own laziness it's ridiculous that his series has been allowed to stay in a WEEKLY magazine whe it's been on hiatus almost as much as it's been printed.

I don't read HXH I don't really have a stake in this thing, but as an outsider observer Togashi looks like one of a few things, either he's lazy and making excuses, or he's really sick and so delusional that he thing he can possibly work on a weekly release.

Either way he's stringing fans along when there seems like a much simpler solution in going monthly, or even pull a D.Gray Man and do large Quayerly releases.

Togashi said he ran 1km in 10 minutes in his prime. He has never been okay.
