I was looking at the Kagurabachi leaks and saw some people mention that some panels were clearly unfinished (pic related)
and it made me think how fucked the manga industry is from an artistic point of view
No book author would agree to release a chapter every 2 week as they write the story on the go
no film maker would agree to release their film/show in 10-20 minute chucks weekly
We understand that these things take time, we give an author a year, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more to plan and write his work and only once its done is the work released. And if its a series, then people wait however long it takes for the continuation to come out, we do the same for filmmakers and other mediums.
Only in the manga industry is it the standard that we should expect good art and especially good storytelling on a weekly or biweekly basis, hell even monthly is bad in my opinion.
And we applaud when an author, especially of a big series like Black Clover takes a break to plan out the next arc but its sad isn't it?
Is applauded because that sort of thin is rare, its not the norm,
I can understand growing up reading the magazines and wanting to get your work published. I can understand from a career and money point of view, but from a point of view of improving the creative output, from the point of view of giving the authors the conditions to make the best possible work they can muster, it fucking sucks and I feel a strong repulsion to it.
