Mangakas (artists/writers of manga) are known for being overworked and underpaid in highly stressful environments. A Japanese blogger found out that mangakas have a life span that is 20 years shorter than the average Japanese man at the time of posting (Currently in 2024: 62.6 vs 83 years)

Are you going to calculate this yourself? What sample are you going to pick?

@Tripping ill use whatever available sources are there at the time, ill also look into what the original blogoger used

this would have to be a pretty large improvement over today (where they live 20 years less on average!)

@strutheo Is there info on why that discrepancy is so large?

@SneakySly a brief google will turn of tons of articles - basically just the toxic work culture

@SneakySly an anonymous artist posted this schedule

I am skeptical.
