Looks like some author has got a fire in his belly.

I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Hiro isn't a robot designed to make manga. Dude has had multiple series going at once, would put out multiple chapters in a week, and now is able to put out a new thing earlier than planned. Making manga is an insanely hard job and the dude just prints out pages.

At one point he had 2 weeklies and a monthly at the same time! Doing just 1 weekly seems like a completely insane workload to me. That being said, you can definitely feel this in his story telling. While I like Rave Master and Fairy Tail, their stories are often not planned ahead which is very noticeable. They're enjoyable, but they aren't anything too special in de shonen world (imo at least).

Yeah, I'm not a fan of any of Mashima's works myself, but I still respect his work and find it fascinating that he has managed to create so many successful series one after another.

Actually, Rave Master was largely planned out from start to finish, while Edens Zero at least had its central plot points set in stone. As far as I know, Fairy Tail is his only multi-chapter work that he wrote almost completely by the seat of his pants. Maybe Dead Rock too, but that was originally meant to be so short that I can't imagine he didn't have some parts of it figured out already.
