Faced with the numerous health concerns encountered by mangakas, the community behind their works do not hesitate to express their support. Recently, it is the state of the author of the One Piece manga that has worried fans because, despite a long break taken a few weeks ago, the mangaka has never been so confronted with this situation. In twenty-six years, this is the fourth time that it has occurred and the first was… during the last quarter of 2023!

Twenty-six years of hard work, Eiichiro Oda lives for his One Piece manga
In recent weeks, the intrigue of One Piece is pretty eventful! At first, the Egghead Island arc had started off rather quietly except that the revelations and epic moments have been coming thick and fast for a few chapters, and fans are obviously not going to complain since we know that the manga One Piece moves inexorably towards its conclusion, even if they dread this moment. What also worries them is the health of Eiichiro Oda, the famous mangaka who has thrilled them for over twenty-five years through the adventures of Luffy and his crew, because, recently, the fans have been trembling for the author.
Many readers have discovered it by following certain manga: it is an extremely complex and exhausting professional environment in which authors dive… and sometimes get carried away. Artists like Akira Toriyama or Kentaro Miura have not been spared from health concerns, which has even prevented the author from Berserk to complete the greatest work of his life himself. So when it comes to the cartoonist of One Piecefans do not wait long to sound the alarm. For example, this situation has only happened four times in the entire history of the manga – and the fourth happened recently – but readers responded right away.
The One Piece community is worried about the mangaka's health since he published incomplete chapters
A few chapters ago, Oda was confronted with a situation that had never happened to him since the beginning of One Piece, namely to publish an incomplete chapter and, in this case, 1098. When reading, fans were obviously surprised to see such a small number of pages because these are usually 18 and 19 pages, while this one only had 13. Since this incident, the situation was repeated with chapter 1116… and continues with chapter 1119 since these two formats also have 13 pageswhile the author gives us an appointment in two weeks for the rest of the adventures.
why do you think Oda is doing badly

Obviously, on social networks, it is a rhythm and a format which did not fail to alert the community. Obviously they have in mind the many problems encountered by mangakas in this world and above all they want them to take care of their health. In a sense, if they are worried about these very short chapters, they are also reassured by this spacing, a sign that the author has decided to take his time in order to rest and then work in the best possible physical and psychological state.. Moreover, last April, Eiichiro Oda took care to send a message to the entire community to thank fans for their patience, support and understanding.
