One
Piece manga was hailed as the most popular Japanese comic throughout 2023,
successfully amassing the largest fan base globally. Throughout his career as a
mangaka, Eiichiro Oda has consistently opted to draw his manga manually rather
than digitally. Why?
During
a question-and-answer interview with fans scattered across the One Piece
Fandom, Oda was asked by his Nakama (fans) why, for the past 26 years, and
despite creating magazine covers and posters, he continues to draw manually
with ink on paper. Why not consider transitioning to digital?
Eiichiro
Oda admitted that in the present time, many mangakas do draw digitally.
"And it's not that I'm not interested," Oda expressed.
"But
for certain reasons, readers perceive this work as somewhat profound. I enjoy
the process of drawing with my hands, and I hope to continue using the manual
method as long as One Piece continues," Eiichiro Oda continued
optimistically.
Throughout
his journey, Eiichiro Oda confessed to sleeping only 3 hours each day when
morning comes. Due to this unhealthy lifestyle, he realized that his fans were
concerned about his lack of sleep.
In
another interview, he admitted not being too fond of sleeping. "Sleeping
is just a waste of time for me," said Eiichiro Oda.
