Oda, hang in there! Don't forget to take a break once in a while, lest this happens again!
Wouldn't it be great to send all these messages via postcard? Show the love and all that.

I have this really strong nagging feeling that this is neither the time nor the place, but i can't help myself. I also want to make it perfectly clear i'm not complaining, nor am i discontent with the situation. Just thinking out loud.
@wolfwoof:
We can surely find a decent middleground betwenn Oda killing himself and becoming that guy who shows up to work once a year
I'd be cool with him taking some extra weeks off every year
Besides a lot of the newer weekly guys need to realize that this is going to take atleast another decade to wrap up. So what's a week or two
He already does take 'a few' extra weeks off every year, doesn't he? Compared to other SJ mangaka and many other weekly published mangaka in general. Say what you will about Fairy Tale (hell, i do), but i can't remember the last time Hiro Mashima took a personal week off. More often than that he actually releases more bonus content or even whole chapter than just one in a week. Compared with all the other weekly manga i keep up with now or have in the past (which isn't much, admittedly), the difference that sticks out most - after my enjoyment levels and opinion on quality of course - is how often One Piece is absent.
But like i said, just playing devil's advocate here. If Oda needs even more breaks, as much as i would grumble about it, of course he deserves and should take them.
And as it goes without saying, hopefully he will get well soon. Heh, after hearing about this news i now know more about Peritonsillar abscesses and their related symptons and complications then i ever thought i would.
Get well soon Oda Sensei.
He needs 1 month, WSJ… 1 MONTH!!!
After Movie Z, seems like his resistance got weakened, and get sick so often.
He needs time to recover. :sad:
Oda's health obviously more important than One Piece. I wish him a speedy recovery.
What the hell is going with mangakas anyway. Oda is sick, with two weeks break, and the other manga-manha i follow weekly, tower of god, is on break too, because SIU had his hand damaged. :wassat:
Get well soon Oda sensei. He can have a month long or even a year long break if he wants. Health comes first after all.
What the hell!? I'm hearing Oda works like 18 hour days and only sleeps a couple hours and works all week? What nonsense is this? Why hasn't his family or friends stepped in and made him take a break. I would lock his ass in a spa if I was his wife
He already worked like that BEFORE he had his wife and kids. They should be used to it now, as sad as it sounds.
How old is oda?
16 chars
This brings up one of the things we are afraid off..
PLEASE, MAKE ONE PIECE A MONTHLY MANGA -with a 50 pg./ch.-
How old is oda?
16 chars
He is 38 years old.
Probably gonna be flamed for this but at least Oda is getting awarded immensely (and rightfully so) for his extreme efforts earning up to $25 million US dollars a year. (source http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2010-12-22/magazine/one-piece-creator-oda-made-2-billion-yen)
He should take like 2 months off then show us a picture of Kaidos foot and I tell ya people will love it. Maybe some ass keeps coughing on the sbs envelopes and the crystallized flu-sickness is activated only when it touches Oda's warm hands! Maybe he read a Mangastream translation of One Piece and tore his throat laughing!! Maybe Kishimoto is sending him poisoned pencils and whenever he puts the pencil in his mouth to think of an idea he's killing himself!!!
Or it could be a sick dude taking a break, who needs to play with his spawn and be tended to by his spouse. "One Piece is too big to fall" man i loved that comment.
FuS
Get Well soon oda…
And don't too much smoking..
Some folks are just asking for it.
EDIT: aaaand never mind, clean up crew came and done work.
How much Oda sleeps? I heard he only take's like 3 hour sleep's and has no day offs??
He must take some rest or we won't ever see rest of the story…
I blame it on the chain smoking.
I'm really worried about Oda now after reading that…you don't know how much I'm worried about him right now, I can't even stop thinking about him! :(
To be fair it is quite severe condition and in some cases it is lethal. So everyone who speaks like it is common cold should really just shut up.
Because of that, I'm glad he is in a good hospital, and got better, but he really should take couple of months off after this. And quit smoking entirely.
To be fair it is quite severe condition and in some cases it is lethal.
Just to be perfectly clear so no one overreacts, given proper treatment, which Oda is obviously getting, a Peritonsillar Abscess is almost always taken care of relatively quickly and easily with the patient making a full recovery. Oda is gonna be fine.

I know from Bakuman that mangakas have to work hard, but from 5-2am? Man, I wouldn't mind if he took the whole summer off now. That man deserves a long break.
I'm not sure how Japanese hours work, but with that little sleep, in two days Oda has been on work for longer than an average work week in my country. Yes, he deserves a long holiday/break, but in the future, wouldn't it in general be much better for him to just work a lot fewer hours, but still have some fixed working hours and deadlines. Of course that's wishful thinking - I have a feeling that being a mangaka doesn't work at that. But it certainly isn't optimal - even if he took a long break, if he returned to his usual working schedule after that, he would soon be back at this extremely unhealthy lifestyle again. And working 19-20 hours a day (I suppose he has to take breaks for eating, going to the bathroom etc.) and sleeping three hours is almost inhuman for a very young person, but Oda is reaching midlife. He can't continue this way forever.
Anyways, I wish him a good recovery..
I hope Oda sensei makes a quick and full recovery. I think I speak for everyone when I saw we all appreciate the hard work he puts into One Piece and the consistent high quality of work. Oda almost never lets down we the fans.
Two weeks?! KIIIIING….
Rest well and get better soon Oda sensei. The next two weeks are not going to be the same without One Piece :(

What is with people calling him Oda-sensei? Do you learn under him? That's what I thought.

if you love something, you don't want to take breaks from the things you love. its his choice to work that hard, it's not like every mangaka works from 5 to 2.

You want to talk serious about that?
Yeah Oda taught us many things through his work as an artist like almost everyone if not all them

Sensei also refers to people with mastery over art. Writers, artists, composers, master class chess players etc.

Do you want some fruit loops? Maybe that will cure you of your unneeded bite.
Oda's schedule might be the worst, but at least he's doing something he genuinely enjoys
Oda, bro, give yourself a break and just, I don't know, take a 2 or 3 month vacation from doing anything, charge your batteries, do whatever you want. Yeah, it'd be a pain in the ass for all OP fans, but no one will complain, you deserve this and it's your well-being that matters the most.
With the national health care there, they keep you in the hospital until you're well, so two weeks makes sense. I was stir-crazy by the time I got out when I had to go. Very different than in the States!
get well soon oda-sensei!

Oda taught me to always follow my dreams! Fk the police(marines)

You mean the complete opposite?
In the states, the hospitals can't wait to get your ass out, and get someone new in.
A peritonsillar abscess is no joke but Oda will be back in no time. If I were him I'd take a couple months off, but I guess his contract probably doesn't allow it.
Let's make this the official "Oda is awesome" thread
Sure.
Sappy ramblings incoming. I'm pretty sure One Piece is directly correlated to a vast improvement in my life, if not the cause of it. Ever since I've read One Piece, my motivation has skyrocketed, causing me to want to do things I never would have dreamed of just even 3 years ago. I started waving away clouds of uncertainty and started really delving into things such as marathon running (when I first started running I couldn't even do it for 10 minutes), cooking, getting in-depth into things like music that I only had vague, normal interests in before. I used to be pretty aimless, just wanting to get through school if I could and be just… whatever. Now I have so many goals (a lot of them I'm actually getting close to achieving) that it's hard to even keep up with them sometimes. One Piece showed me that you don't have to take the beaten path for your life. You can take the other path that's a lot more dangerous, interesting, and fun. Also, no one can ultimately control your life. Just like Luffy crushed Vivi's Log Pose way back when, yelling, "nobody is going to decide where this adventure takes us!", you're the main person manning the wheel. Just be prepared to deal with certain consequences.
