Most of the art world is awful, not just manga. Sometimes it's better to have a boring job if you can't stand mental and financial pressures of being an artist.
He was writing Vagabond at a weekly pace right? He should've said he needed more time to plot the story, a month or so at best. Given how popular the series was at the time, I'm sure some folks would've agreed.
It needed to, in the course of greatness it is natural to be in pain. Uncertainty is an old friend but he leaves your side soon enough, the story is born.
It's incredible how the masters of their art are never satisfied... Also, heartbreaking to see how many mangakas suffer for their Work. Sure, they're doing what they love. But the amount of effort that goes into a manga like Berserk or Vagabond, both in the art and story, is exceptional... They did not need to go that far, I feel! Most panels from these manga could be framed as fine pieces of art, due to the amount of detail, emotion and passion put into them. Yet, as a reader, my desire to appreciate the details struggles against the desire to know what happens next... :)
I feel the same way! I always try to take a minute to wholeheartedly appreciate the art and the passion behind it but the urge to flip the pages to read what's to come is a very hard thing to resist. Such fine art should be framed and not be hidden between pages in a book, that way the efforts put into those chapters would be vastly more appreciate and loved
Let's be honest, the deadlines are the problem, not their absolute dedication to the quality of the thing they do. If we all would work on what we do with this intensity and dedication, but give ourselves the time to do it sustainably, what a beautiful society we would inhabit.
@@philippfischer717 yeah, it's the deadlines... There's an expectation from work culture that even something that normally comes spontaneously (ideas, creativity, inspiration) should "come spontaneously until deadline X". Another side-effect of wanting things to be other than they are.
Such a great author, it's crazy how much dedication he has. He had to feel what Musashi felt to draw the panel with satisfaction, that will take a lot of mental strain and the outcome is so fucking good but it's not the best in his opinion, what an author.
Nobody who's worked this hard while trying to maintain life balance can blame this man for quitting. If a person expects anyone to produce this level of quality forever, they've probably never done anything of quality. He's given us his time, his energy, and his soul. Let the man rest and live his life in peace.
I hope he regains his enjoyment in art. Not because I want him to finish any of his stories but because it would be a tragedy for someone like him to lose his passion.
@@eri5523 well ive heard that as well. But so far hes in a good state of mind since he started coaching wheelchair basketball and a manga inspired by it called REAL
I felt his dissatisfaction with how Musashi came out…sometimes when I draw I become so so obsessed with it being exact and being perfect that it just puts a toll on me and then I remember…I did the best I could….I just have to learn…I have to try harder next time.
This is why I keep quiting and come back to drawing. I grow so dissatisified and end up going through depression. Despite everyone telling me Im really good at drawing, I can never convince myself
Many people just skip some panel but they don't realize how manga artist like inoue and other's spent so much time and effort making on their manga for our entertainment
This Dude is so hardworking its amazing. He tries to feel the emotions his character are feeling in order to make it as real as possible I love his dedication. Plus even though it came out perfect he found it to be not as perfect as he would want it to be.
This man created the greatest manga in existence its sad to see he stopped writing it but its good that he if focusing on himself and being happy hopefully the passion that led him to start the story returns again to finish it
I think all artists can relate to how he feels. When you're unsatisfied with something, all the praise in the world couldn't satisfy that nagging feeling in the back of your head that it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. But what's weirder, is every artist is also used to the shock of witnessing a master at work STILL not be satisfied. His final drawing didn't satisfy his desires, but it more than got the job done. For the story, for the artwork itself, for the deadline...I mean, the man absolutely crushed it. That panel is seriously amazing. Artists are often too critical of themselves, and we're our own worst enemies. We all get so frustrated with where we are, that we forget where we came from.
He stopped to go coach a middle school basketball team, which was one of his dreams since high school. Then he came back to write and direct the Slam Dunk film.
Takehiko Inoue is my role model, I'm going to surpass his work ethic and sacrifices to achieve my goals. I will meet him someday and tell him that he played a big role in my character development.
I do hope Inoue manages to get back his inspiration and passion to finish this master piece. As fan I can say we deservet it and so he is. Take your time, look inside yourself for what is missing and finish whenever you´re ready, we are be waiting for this day, for this dream coming true ❤
You are the best person😭😭😭. Slam dunk made me a new person and vagabond, takezo is a menace and it's philosophical parts resonates with me on an emotional level. Especialy xlam dunk, i like it better than hajame no ippo even as a hardcore boxing fan because slam dunk just resonates with my soul
Had creating my own story illustrative book, this is relatable , the constant work can get to someone, the grind endless , its a skill thats worth it when given time.
I need to say sorry for all mangakas, cause of my acted to read mangas (which weren't published in my country)in illegal ways. Fortunately, nowadays we can read legal easier via web's subscription or order online.
He seems he needs emotional support on another topic: 1:59 I like how even when he's loosin' it he doesn't let the paper on the floor. True organised asian man!
If only Inoue knew the amount of crap we gobble up. I mean people watch boruto for Christ's sakes. Inoue out here trying to write a masterpiece, dude just have an aneurysm on a page and we will buy it. Shout out to vizbigs.
As much as a masterpiece as vagabond is I do think it’s fair it’s been on hiatus seeing how stressful and time consuming it is for him, hopefully it will return soon after the recent announcement.
What ppl don't realize is that being an artist/writer takes a toll on us as individuals. To hit that level of spiritual awakening and being a God isn't easy. To create something no one has heard, seen or read is a lot.
Being a God ? You don't even know what you talking about Inoue is just a human being like us he doesn't have power at all If he is gone nothing will change in this planet alone in fact if all humans gone nothing will change in this planet earth can live without us anyways
This might be the greatest piece of art video I’ve ever seen. SO much insight into a process of a master including how he de-stresses. Many nuggets of wisdom here in this video. Thank you.
Manga world truly has awful working conditions. Yet, how beautiful is the dedication you can feel in every panel of this masterpiece
yeah i feel he couldnt draw musashi the way he wanted because of the condition he was in

A good working condition is not a requirement for great artwork.

That last statement is spot on with how I feel
Am I the only one suprised how he is so similar to Takuan? It's like he drawn the character from himself
That he did
Yap,i think so
Visually you mean? Right? Cause like, Takuan Soho was a real person, not a character he made.
No comparison slam dunk is on another level bruh, berserk is great but vagabond and slam dunk is masterpieces
If you notice a lot of authors works have self inserts. Like he said you can only create a story that’s authentic to you.

@@xviinaichi3793 aye bruh this man made vagabond no way in hell I can tell whats he thinking lol
4:07 - 4:16 “Hesitation is lethal” it’s like he’s a samurai himself lmao
I felt his dissatisfaction with how Musashi came out…sometimes when I draw I become so so obsessed with it being exact and being perfect that it just puts a toll on me and then I remember…I did the best I could….I just have to learn…I have to try harder next time.
Same I could understand his dissatisfaction as it is the same with me when I draw
not only that but the pressure of the deadline too, i like how they emphasized that in the video
This is why I keep quiting and come back to drawing. I grow so dissatisified and end up going through depression. Despite everyone telling me Im really good at drawing, I can never convince myself
Show us your art! 👀
Show your work if you really do feel stressed from and feel it is perfect
And he got a neato jumpshot, this guys the best
He truly is an inspirational figure
1:57 why is this so relatable hahahaha he even picked up the paper lol
Ngl his art style is one of the best that i've ever seen.
Many people just skip some panel but they don't realize how manga artist like inoue and other's spent so much time and effort making on their manga for our entertainment
They get paid for drawing manga. Not doing charity.
@@kushalrijal9453 you are the worst kind of person

I think he meant Vagabond
Cough cough.....Berserk
@@elijahbruno2814 cough Vagabond cough
@@elijahbruno2814no, close though
what a genius , it was enjoyable to watch his work

Artists are often too critical of themselves, and we're our own worst enemies. We all get so frustrated with where we are, that we forget where we came from.
Once a greatest writer said _"Writing a story or making a art is same as giving birth to a baby" suffering' '
*Gets frustrated* calms down and says. "I wanted Musashi to smile in a natural way, but i wasn't able to."
That's some dedication right there.
Jesus, no wonder it feels incredible just staring at his work. It has his emotions in them.
The man went under extreme mental and physical strain to produce his masterpiece even if its not finished it's his decision to live how he wants.
1:53 as a comic/manga creator this was so damn relatable. Got chills from that. I know that feeling all too well.
Ikr?? Just crumble the paper and throw it out of the window Everytime I feel like the story isn't going well
For me it was 1:47. It's so crazy to witness someone else going through it. We really are all connected.
My life right now basically. Never underestimate the amount if work that goes into a manga
what a great author
1:09 LOL his office is Togashi level of disorder.
Togashi level disorder 😂 lets use that term more often, bro!
As a creative that struggles with the process...this actually gives me heart that I'm on the right path.
The way he inks with the brush is just magical.
This man is a legend.
Seeing him play basketball warmed my heart
Goated author
The best mangaka takehito inoue and kentura miura
That's no manga artist that's "the damn takuan."
Very attractive artstyle
I dont know why but real protagonist looks similar to him
Please master I beg you, continue Vagabond.

How s that going bro?
Be creative and commited, is the only word of encouragement i can offer to the likes of u and myself already. All the best.
i think the way he cant make musashi smile (at the time at least) is really in character
"Its unbearable, i would like to be alone"
I can wait. You can’t rush perfection; the man is a genius. It’ll be worth the wait gang!
He only can think in himself when he is alone, just in this way he can write. He was not alone.
hope he takes more care of his health
Wow I loved this video. I could not make him smile in my mind, I love this and inoue
I do hope Inoue manages to get back his inspiration and passion to finish this master piece. As fan I can say we deservet it and so he is. Take your time, look inside yourself for what is missing and finish whenever you´re ready, we are be waiting for this day, for this dream coming true ❤
As tailors of experience sometimes we must leave the pen and live. Live so we may write, the story grows from the places we go 🚶♂️

Near the middle of the video, THERE IS A SONG PLAYING SLOWLY, THATS FROM WANGAN MIDNIGHT
Edit: devil z theme
Is that his own mini basket court? If so, that's so sick lol hoopin' after a long day at work.
You know he is the author of Slam Dunk? Arguably the best sports manga of all time?
@@caspyyyy I do, just wasn't expecting him having a mini court in the studio lol

He looks like monk takuan
Literally Togashi
Create a Manga is very mental
He didnt did the big fight probably cause he never thought IT was good enough. Whatching him playing basketball at the end ufff that hurts
I hope he can finish the series of slamdunk
Many manga artists suffer from imposter symdrone, which causes them not to see their work and talent as valuable.
