If he is a machine like Mashima and Nakaba, it is possible.

We just can't compare Boichi art with Mashima and Nakaba... We just... Can't.

 

[Newkerzy]

It's not about the art, it's about their work ethic. Mashima is well-known for publishing double-triple chapters all at once on certain occasions. To this day, no other mangaka that I know of can actually come close to repeat Mashima's feats.

I was not talking about art, I was talking about physicality. XD
However, none of the them have bad art, far from it.

I'm convinced Mashima just isn't human at this point. Chapters every week, tons of color pages, double chapters all the time, and he somehow finished FF15 and Persona 5 within days while doing all that. P5 took me 106 hours, does he have assistants to help him play video games too when they're bored of drawing or something?

You forgot his very active Twitter account where he posts colored drawings.

Didn't even know about that, now I'm even more convinced. The only authors I really follow on Twitter are Aka Akasaka for Kaguya info and Jun Ogino for... reasons.

 

[tirakai]

I think he's just a really fast artist, there's a couple videos of him drawing at events and such and the speed he can draw a full character at is crazy.

Yet it doesn't really matter when your story content is awful and there's nothing notable about your art at all and his feats are negated by the fact that he has six assistants. You can pretty much say that Mashima is the Taco Bell of mangaka, gives you fast on-time service but you'll feel sick and still hunger afterwards. Nakaba does all that without assistants and even while he was at the hospital he still had time to do side stories up until the manga's return to serialization without the expense of the art deteriorating or the quality of the writing dropping.

Miki Yoshikawa did touch upon this one her small oneshot about her time as an assistant for Mashima.

Kubo has 9 assistants, yet his backgrounds are still white. I guess we just have to wait and see how Boichi take on 136 pages/month.

Hey, I'm not saying it's good either, what with the mary-suing of a certain character and all, but you have to give credit to his work ethic, though. I honestly can't think of a mangaka who can do what he can as far as drawing goes. About his assistants, from what I hear, his assistants don't really have to do much either, since he does most of everything.

Also, overall I won't say the manga is terrible. I'd still take it over Naruto's ending any day. Given the Sasuke and Uchiha-wanking that Kishimoto does that eventually derailed the entire story, I think FT is better, if only two steps above it. As long FT's resident Mary Sue don't derail the story for it to be all about her in the end, like the Uchihas did, I'll give it a pass.

I will be surprised if Midorima doesn't get Steph Curry's jersey..... Even now, I still laugh at the fact that it took until 2015-2016 to actually see a real-life Midorima breaking out into the leagues.

So..... Akashi is Lebron or Harding, Atsushi is Shaq, Kuroko is Muggsy, Aomine is Green or Love, and Kise is Larry Bird.

 

[Newkerzy]

Wouldn't Aomine be Jordan? I'd also pick Kise as Green, given he's the literal swiss army knife for the GOM.

If Fujimaki gets commisioned to do a crossover manga for the Olympic specials, I think Midorima might get nerfed since it's been stated the farther he takes his shots, the more of a toll it takes on his body. And since databooks state he wants to be a doctor, I expect him to be out of practice that Kagetora would limit him to half-court shots like Steph does.

Just asking to anybody who's interested, who do you guys think Steph can pull off Midorima-Akashi/Takao's Direct Sky 3-point shot with? Assuming Kuroko-verse!Steph actually can, that is....

That was funny and now I ship both.
Well, there are companies who has this relaxed philosophy, but are very productive, so it is possible.

That's what I was thinking too when I first saw this one-shot back then .

Aomine will be Aomine . "The only one who can beat me, is me."

Aomine is a power forward, like Green and Love. Larry Bird was a SF like Kise and the swiss army knife for the Celtics. They're both blonde too

My memory's a bit fuzzy, but I always thought his main specialty is his shooting, not a jack-of-all trades like Green.

Why are you guys talking about basketball again?
