      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'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

    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.

    Many manga artists suffer from imposter symdrone, which causes them not to see their work and talent as valuable.

    this pressure is so unlike the artists from the past who got sponsored to make art. modern japanese interpretation of the artist as a poeta faber... is it a mistake? or does this lead to impressive results. as long as it's not to just be succesful without caring about creating something amazing.
    even someone like isa whose work is so personal and the most important thing in his life doesn't want to disappoint his readers
