>Futaba wrote that they initially attempted to write down the circumstances behind the manga's cancellation in the second volume's afterword, but were pressured by their editor to remove it. They later posted a tweet with the text of the originally planned afterword.
>Futaba claimed in this afterword that their editor would lose manuscripts, be late to meetings or cancel them at the last minute regularly, write typos and omit words, and constantly forget to communicate with the management side. Due to a miscommunication, Futaba's contract with the publisher was terminated, and the editor tried to mollify the artist by sending them goods bought with company money. When Futaba demanded to speak to the editor-in-chief, the editor refused to organize a meeting and instead offered Futaba 300,000 yen to stay silent. Futaba spoke to the editor-in-chief anyway and spent the rest of the serialization working without an editor. They wrote that the experience left them very demoralized, even after the editor-in-chief came to apologize to them personally.
>Futaba also posted an audio recording of the editor telling them not to publish the afterword or speak of the situation online, saying, "We won't be able to protect if you do that." They then tweeted that they are currently in communication with Shueisha through a lawyer, but Shueisha's side refuses to acknowledge Futaba's version of events, and so the artist has decided to post about it publicly. According to them, the editor they worked with is still employed at Shueisha.
Why are editors a thing?
Funny story.
The thing is there is good editor and bad editor
was the manga good?
With manga, you don't write your magnum opus first. You write something you think will get a lot of readers, suffer for a few years, then end it and force your publisher into a contract where you own the rights to your next series.
This is why Togashi is smart. He wanted to be free of restrictions and sleep, so he did.
Might be someone's niece/child/cousin. You know how this shit works, specially on a big company. Chances are that mangaka ain't working ever again. I can't even find the manga to be honest
Because without restrictions the author inevitably goes full retard
The editor sounds jewish
This editor won't survive if he's in WSJ
Based, fuck Shueisha.
Might want to check out on him since he's been missing for a year
He will return soon. There's just a lot of shit that needs to happen in the HxH manga within the next 40~ chapters

Sept 2020 is my bet
I hope it works out in her favor but knowing how Japanese companies work, I doubt it. They're very loyal to their own. She'll never publish a manga with a company again, probably. At least self publishing is a thing
I bet this is the case in Attack on Titan. Now I know why Isayama is rushing to end his manga. Because he wanted a better contract for his new series.
Kumeta get away with it. She just need to fuck off to another publishing company
A good editor can really lighten the load and help keep the artist on time.
A bad editor can completely fuck everyone involved in the process
Without one, the artist and writer would have to spend time not writing/drawing
True, it's not all Shueisha. Thing is, when you go public in Japan about controversy, whether you're justified or not, you're really taking an enormous risk. Basically saying "if I am ever slighted, I'll try to slander your company". Or rather, that's how companies will take it
I don't see him rushing considering you could definitely condense pages in the previous chapters
The problem is that being known as the man who speaks up against corporate mistreatment severely affects one's careers.
Publishers of course would rather not hire one, be one known to do such a thing, so many elect to not do so.
It's more likely that Isayama doesn't own the rights to AoT because no publisher in their right minds will give majority shares of an IP when the author is clearly an amateur artist. No wonder Isayama started using ideas from GoT after the basement. Because he doesn't want his real ideas to be used in a story he doesn't own!!!
She has evidence and has lawyered up
more like he's writing filler chapters to release more volumes, the guy thinks about money
The manga industry is as cheap as the anime industry
That editor probably has to stay in charge of dozens of people a week
It sucks for the mangaka but their manga is like a drop in the bucket for a publisher
>editor probably has to stay in charge of dozens of people
AFAIK mangaka generally own the rights for works they create or at least it's a shared copyright between the creator and the publisher.
This is in no way rare. Editors commonly sabotage manga and light novels in order to morph them into what they would prefer them to be, and then arrange for cancellation when the author doesn't play ball.
>next 40
But that will take like 10 years
He's not rushing anything. You're delusional.
This mangaka's career is basically over. Gash Bell's author has been out of work for years, despite having one giant and one fairly successful series under his belt, because he sued Kadokawa (and won). Knowing Jap autism, publically shittalking your employer might be even worse.
Yep, this dumb fuck author just assured to never get another work published in a major magazine again.
>morph them into what they would prefer them to be
like adding tanuki everywhere? or whatever that creature was
are you high? jump has the worst editors
>Needs more gags!
Man I miss Bakuman
>shittalking your employer might be even worse.
Work just fine for Tatsuki, in fact it's even better.
Kishimoto's editor saved Naruto
In Tatsuki's case it's because the series was mega popular and public sentiment was already on his side before he ever said anything.
Because without editor intervention you get shit like Samurai8.
Animal Land was after the lawsuit.
>publically shittalking your former employer the manga
Was he the one that got Kishi to just copy shit from HxH?
He's the one that prevented Naruto from becoming Samurai 8 version alpha.
So this is written by Kishimoto but drawn by someone else? Says he storyboards it too, does that mean much overall? will his "vision" for the series come out visually in the presentation?
Wait what was that with Kumeta?
>a year
I didn't need to ask, I should have just read it and found out.
Overlaying Luffy ruins some of the humour of the picture, since we can no longer see the red line continuing into 2020.
Apologies, have this
That's better
>Shueisha
stopped feeling surprised here
>"subversive manga' in quotes
Every time
didn't Shueisha get in trouble a couple of months back in Japan due to how they treat their women mangaka and staff? Starting to wonder how much of this bullshit like lost manuscripts was done in purpose
He had a manga in WSM called Vector Ball. According to info on the internet, he didn't know what to do with the story, and end it after a year.
Oda's editor pushed for him to make Sabody more interesting by adding a new character or two which is why we got the Supernovas and Worst Generation plotlines. All of that was right on the spot and then Oda worked them into his full narrative. I believe he said his editor was taken back by just how overboard Oda went from his suggestion.
Often editors insist on adding characters that weren't in the original draft, the reasoning behind this depending on the circumstances. Two good examples of this are Vishya from Youjo Senki and Albedo from Overlord; both of which where added at the insistence of editors. Why? Well, my guess is that a subordinate character in those stories made the protagonist less lonely and gave them someone to delegate tasks on occasion. But only the editors in question will ever know for sure.
Female manga-ka working for Shueisha often hide their gender for a reason. That's why people think the KNY's manga-ka is a female. Because even the editor doesn't know the actual gender. I think D. Gray Man's manga-ka once talked about having panic attacks at the thought of people learning she was a female or something like that too.

Tatsuki has never said a word about his previous employers; not a peep.
oh well there was a script thing but that was like... fact, and he wasn't the person who brought it up in the first place IIRC
AoT getting butchered by Hollywood soon and Isayama can't do anything about it because he doesn't own majority shares. Kek
Japs don't give a fuck about gaijin adaptations.
Why don't companies just not mistreat their employees?
Internally shueisha must have known all along they were women even if the editor doesn't know, otherwise hiw they were hired? Who knows how it is like that for them
>we'll pay you heaps of money to make a movie you will never see and literally don't give a fuck about
>okay
Yeah, I'm sure he's real gutted by that idea.
incredibly shitty labor and anti-discrimination laws coupled with impunity if you are a large famous company
They hire based on manuscripts and submissions. They don't actually have to meet in person. They never even have to talk to someone on the phone.
I'm not looking forward to the casting for that movie. No matter what they do a lot of obnoxious people are going to pissed off and shitposters are going be fucking obnoxious about it.
