How do they manage to make about pages of a comic every week? Most profilic author from my shithole of a country only did biweekly at her heyday (full color but still), how do the Japanese manage that insane productivity?

Dreadful work ethics and no consideration for health and mental wellness.

Didn't that schlock webcomic manage to put out a full color page every single day for almost a decade? It's rough but definitely doable with the help of assistants
Zachary Ross

It depends how detailed your work is.

If they have that sort of work ethics why don’t they become millionaires by investing instead?
Christian Baker
ENTER.

for one, they usually only do B&W
they have assistants
they are immersed in a culture and surrounded by people who like to draw and make stories 24/7.
to many mangaka drawing was more like an addiction before they got serialized. so even if it gets hard, they're still in the habit of putting out a lot of work. for many of them i reckon it's almost easier to constantly draw and write than it is to take breaks. psychologically speaking.
their brains are basically thinking in the language of visual art and storytelling all the time.
i wouldn't just call it "work ethic", i think most highly productive mangaka could only do manga.
the fact that they make manga in the first place shows that they're the type of people who simply can't help but direct their efforts 100% to manga. most of them can only get satisfaction from that kind of work and wouldn't be able to put 100% into something like investing. it might sound kind of simplistic but the reason they aren't investors is because... they're mangaka.

This. Oda has literally gone on record to state that he sleeps like 5 hours a day.

Yeah, but they end up drawing the same story over and over for years. They can’t really grow as artists/storytellers.

How do they live like this?

Retards always clinging to the outliers because they don't really follow manga is embarrassing. If Hagiwara were an example of anything, the manga industry wouldn't exist. He literally couldn't handle a weekly serialization, he fell apart within a year on his very first manga of his entire career. Even when the art and story was as basic as possible back then. He is not why everyone else is able to maintain consistent output since he never could. If anything, it would suggest everyone else takes care of their health and that's why they last decades of consistent output and he can't. All the legendary guys worked well past Western retirement ages. Plenty of them worked 50+ years. If they manage to work longer and live longer than their counterparts, then the argument they are "killing themselves" doesn't make any sense. The primary example of working yourself to death (supposedly the most pages published by a single comic artist) still lived until 60 and he never took breaks and always had multiple serializations going on. While an infamous inactively creator like Miura could not make it to 60 and most other modern hiatus creators never put in close to enough work to justify their supposed "working themselves to death" claims. At best they just had underlying health problems to begin with or suffered unfortunate complications or at worst they are exceptionally lazy. You can't work yourself to death and not actually have any work to show for it simultaneously.
