Eiichiro Oda Needs A Break
One Piece is the biggest manga series in the world. It has sold over 500 million copies, making it the best-selling manga series ever. Every year, the manga ends in the top three spots, which shows its popularity. Given its popularity, it is hardly surprising that fans eagerly await the release of chapters.
Drawing manga for such a long time has its disadvantages, and it has caused Oda multiple health problems, including high blood pressure. According to reports, he also has a poor sleep schedule and bad eating habits. He prefers not to eat until he has finished working on his manuscripts. These habits were bound to catch up to him sooner or later. It is quite apparent that Eiichiro Oda needs a long rest so that he can get back to full fitness.
If he keeps ignoring his body, the consequences could be dire. So, he should take an extended break to deal with his health complications before they get worse. Even the One Piece anime is on a break, so it is the perfect time to go on a hiatus. Fans will be hoping that Oda puts himself first and takes care of his health.
