Old vs Young. Experience vs Hot blood. Traditions vs New ideas.
Is a place amongst the mangaka's of WSJ reserved only for young one's? Let's face the facts. The youngest RL mangaka is Nana Haruta, who has been published in a magazine at the age of 15. But that's an a exception. What does the statistic says?
Kishimoto made the pilot chapter of Naruto in 1997 (23 years) and got serialized in 1999 (25 years)
Kubo got Bleach serialized in 2002 at the age of 24
Oba got OP serialized in 1997 at the age of 22
Sorachi got Gintama serialized in 2003 at the age 24
Arakawa got FMA serialized at the age 28
Like it or not, but the statistic says, that finding a famous mangaka over 30 is not easy. Not talking about 40 or even 50 year old one's. Anyway, statistic is statistic. Let's hear what you think about this.
