Takaya is obviously burned out and probably wishes he didn't have to do the series anymore but in all likelihood, it's probably his only source of income right now.

God knows how his editor puts up with his snail pace but I can only imagine that it's because the Guyver enjoyed a modicum of popularity in the 90s. This year is the 30th anniversary

so who knows, maybe he'll put his back into it and finish the story once for all. God knows it's taken him long enough!!

 

(you know this as your there) In Japan it's supported by a large number of other comics sold with it's monthly distribution. It's kinda hard for western fans to vision it but in Japan if you buy a monthly comic you have to buy a huge book like thing with countless other stories there. Keeping them any length of time isn't really an option as they are huge so if you want to keep your copy of Guyver you have to buy the yearly book.

 

If not for that I don't think Guyver would have survived as long as it has. 

 

Yes, what you say is correct but, the other strips in the same monthly publication enjoy 20-30 pages each. The Guyver is only 10. I wouldn't be complaining if he wrote the same amount of pages as his "colleagues"...

I have to agree with Trico.. My only guess as of why Yoshiki is keeping his manga short is.... either he has a bad case of carpal tunnel or has an on going case of bad arthritis. However that is just my personal excuse why he's not doing more. That or other things are demanding his time and he's losing interest in his own work.

I been a fan of guyver for years but recently it just seems the story is crawling at a snails pace.
