That's probably the only reason why he can handle two weekly serializations at the same time. He must be incredibly fast and efficient at drawing and paneling. Are there any other mangaka that were able to handle two weekly serializations at the same time?

Hiroya Oku did Gantz and Me-teru no Kimochi from 2006 to 2007 for Weekly Young Jump.
And people wonder why Kubo isn't itching to make another manga.
That's why there should be more writer and artist duos. Split the burden so that each person can give it their all on their own task.
Alright, I heard about Pierrot helping out too.
Though I imagine it'd be extremely hard to keep a good relationship with whoever you're working with. Especially when it comes to art, people can be super opinionated, and being a manga artist potentially means years of putting up with each other's decisions in a super stressful environment. You can see why many duos don't stick together long, or do more than one series with each other. Definitely have to respect the people that manage it.
I mean, they don't really have a choice, they either get along together and work properly as a team or their manga fails and they both have to suffer. I think editors are probably the most useful and beneficial to duos.
On top of all those, Mashima still finds the time to post sketches on twitter and finish FFXV under 36 hours... That's not amazing at all. That's inhuman.
The first chapter of his new work is 80 pages as well. This would all be impressive if he wasn't such a terrible writer.
Just 36 hours?
"Oh my health is detoriating and is in bad shape, quick let me start another weekly serialisation and take up all that pressure and responsibilities again. That should help"
I hope not, but it doesn't really make sense for Shueisha to be promoting it with a color page if they're just gonna cancel it, does it? Plus it looked like they were doing some sort of cross promotion thing with Jujutsu Kaisen, so maybe this is just a coincidence.
