Manga Artists' Jigoku: Weekly Serialization vs Monthly Serialization

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

Recently I read several manga artists' interviews, the pressure of weekly serialization is really terrifying:

[Weekly Serialization]
- Have to submit 18-22 pages every week
- Basically no rest days
- Physical health severely drained
- But high exposure, popularity rises fast

[Monthly Serialization]
- 40-60 pages per month
- Relatively ample time
- Can maintain art quality
- But popularity accumulates slowly

Yoshihiro Togashi always gets scolded for taking leave, but his physical condition is really bad. Do you guys think the industry should reform the serialization system?

Yoshihiro Togashi's health is truly worrying. The history of HxH's hiatuses is itself a microcosm of the problems within the serialization system.

Manga artists in the past had it even tougher. The legend of Osamu Tezuka serializing in several magazines at the same time... it's not something an ordinary person could do.

The quality of the monthly serialization of Attack on Titan has been very stable. Hajime Isayama has enough time to polish every chapter.

From a manga cafe's perspective: Since monthly manga are released slowly, they stay on the shelves for a longer period. For a cafe, this is actually better.

As a manga warehouse manager: Monthly series' collected volumes come out slower, but each volume offers a higher sense of satisfaction.

The JUMP+ model is indeed more human-centric. The flexible publication schedule allows manga artists to submit their work when they are in a good state.

The pressure of drawing for weekly serializations is unimaginable to outsiders. Many weekly manga artists' Joshu have talked about nightmare-like deadline experiences.

From the perspective of a manga fanatic: The thrill of a weekly magazine is something a monthly one cannot provide. But the cost is too high.

Industry perspective: JUMP+'s model (online + flexible schedule) might be the direction of Mirai. No need to work mangaka to death.

Togashi's situation has taught me to cherish every chapter. Instead of rushing him for updates, I'd rather wish him good health.

From a historical perspective: the weekly system was established in the 1960s. A system from sixty years ago that hasn't really changed until now truly needs reform.

After Chainsaw Man switched from weekly to monthly (JUMP+), the art quality improved a lot. This proves that a monthly schedule really gives manga artists more space.
