Why don't more shonen writers adopt Togashi's mindset?
In HxH Togashi regularly abandons major characters and sub-plots so he can instead focus on writing a compelling arc that would otherwise be hampered by the presence of those characters and sub-plots. He doesn't care about maintaining flawless continuity/transition between all of the story's elements as long as he feels he has a good story to tell. Given the challenges that come with preserving the relevance of every element that's introduced in a weekly serialized series, why don't more mangaka adopt Togashi's more "freeform" and experimental approach to storytelling?
