Shueisha and Oda are like gigolos who make money by letting women go into the adult industry.

Naruto in "Naruto" smiled but said nothing.

He must have made a lot of money from playing Yu-Gi-Oh!

In the literary and art circles, Shueisha's editors are highly regarded.

They put a lot of effort into cultivating new writers and are very good at taking care of newcomers.

Oh, it turns out that in addition to living off its partners, Shueisha itself is also working very hard.

But the company itself is the biggest beneficiary of the freeloaders, and all the profits increased by Oda are given to the internal management families of Shueisha.

Since Togashi is unreliable, Shueisha becomes more and more dependent on Oda, and its own level declines. Oda should be the president of Shueisha.

Don't compare Oda to a woman who pays him back for his money. Oda already has health problems, but he still thinks it's worthwhile doing a job he loves. Wouldn't it be better for him to wake up quickly and set up a new magazine to serialize the sequel to "One Piece"?

So Kodansha is also benefiting from Attack on Titan. But it is not as easy to get by as Shueisha. At least the success of Attack on Titan is inseparable from the hard work of the editors. Shogakukan is also benefiting from Detective Conan. But neither of them is as exaggerated as Shueisha.

Now that novels and comics are not selling well, Shueisha has no choice but to grab the big fish of "One Piece" and continue to squeeze Oda. Now there is no author who can squeeze more profits than Oda.

Nowadays, serialized comics are forced to stop serialization as soon as their popularity drops. Popular works like "One Piece" must continue to maximize profits. Shueisha has completely become a gigolo. With Oda, there is nothing to worry about.

Shueisha was indeed once an excellent magazine with sales of 6 million copies per issue, but if there was no serialization of "One Piece", it would only have sold 1 million copies. At least it could have sold 3 million copies just for "One Piece".

In order to obtain huge profits, popular comics have to continue to be serialized. Even if the plot can no longer be written, it has to continue to be serialized. Shueisha is simply a vampire that drains Oda's energy. Oda is really pitiful.

It seems that everyone has the same opinion about Shueisha being a gigolo, and it seems that some truth has been revealed in the complaints. Everyone is also very concerned about the health of Eiichiro Oda, after all, being a manga artist is a very hard job. What do you think about the relationship between the publisher and the author? Let's discuss it.
