Black Clover is among the best-known shonen of the new generation. Written by Yuki Tabata, the manga has grown into one of the most loved series that is currently serializing. Black Clover is in no way perfect, but it's an exciting series that provides readers with a great deal of entertainment.
Recently, Yuki Tabata revealed a chilling detail about the manga industry, and it is bound to change fans' views. It's not often an author talks so freely about the situation, so Yuki Tabata should be lauded for speaking out.
'I Can't Believe It's Real': Black Clover Manga Confirms Return Date
After a long wait, the Black Clover manga will finally make its return.
Yuki Tabata Drops Insane Detail About Black Clover Manga
Yuki Tabata Was Forced To Stay Away To Complete New Black Clover Chapters
- Yuki Tabata was not allowed to go back home
- The Black Clover author was forced to stay in a hotel
According to a new report, Shueisha prevented Yuki Tabata from going home until he finished the manuscript. The author of Black Clover was returning from a vacation, and upon his return to Japan, he was forced to stay in a hotel for four days. Yuki Tabata was forced to complete the manuscript before the company allowed him to head home. The report shows the bad working conditions in the manga industry.
Upon my return to Japan, I wasn't even allowed to go home: I had to stay four days in a hotel near Shueisha until I finally managed to finish it" —Yuki Tabata
There's no doubt that Yuki Tabata loves Black Clover and the fans who support him, but he wouldn't want to be treated in such a horrific manner. He would have finished the manuscript anyway, so there was absolutely zero reason for Shueisha to do something so wicked.
It's also worth mentioning that Yuki Tabata has been suffering from health complications for a long time. So, the company did not do the author any favors. After this revelation, fans need to be more understanding and open-minded regarding Yuki Tabata's schedule. The author has been delivering new chapters even when he's not feeling the best.
Black Clover fans will certainly feel troubled by the new information, but there is some positive news. It has been confirmed that the Black Clover anime is returning with a fifth season. The anime has been on a break since 2021, and there was little to no information regarding the future of the series. Thankfully, fans don't have to worry about it anymore.
Eiichiro Oda Is Also Suffering From Health Problems
Oda Has Been Ill Like Yuki Tabata
Eiichiro Oda is the author of One Piece, which is the best-selling manga series of all time. One Piece has sold more than 500 million copies, which is significantly more than the series in second place. It won't be an exaggeration to say Eiichiro Oda is carrying Shueisha on his back. One Piece is one of the main reasons why the Weekly Shonen Jump sells like hotcakes. After helping the company for such a long time, Oda's health has already started to worsen.
Eiichiro Oda has been taking a lot more breaks because of his health, which is a clear indication that he is not at his best. Fans are not against the regular breaks because they know how much effort he puts into the manga. In fact, they want the author to take a long break so that he can recover properly and prevent his health from worsening.
Yoshihiro Togashi is the prime example of how overworking can prove to be dangerous. He is the author of Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, both of which are amazing manga series. Togashi managed to finish Yu Yu Hakusho without too many problems, but Hunter x Hunter is a different story. The manga has been on extended hiatus multiple times because of Togashi's failing health. The author has developed serious health complications that prevent him from working.
Gege Akutami is another victim of the harsh working conditions. In a recent statement, Gege Akutami revealed that he fell seriously ill, and despite repeated visits to the hospital, things didn't get better. It was only after Oda suggested another place that his condition improved.
It's rather apparent that the manga industry does not have the best working conditions. Authors almost always end up overworking themselves because they have to meet deadlines. As they continue to do this for years, their well-being is adversely affected.
Black Clover is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
