With the hiatus finally over, Eiichiro Oda has finally spoken about it.

Eiichiro Oda's statement was obviously related to the unexpected interruption. In the update, Eiichiro Oda apologized to his audience for the hiatus. He also made it clear that he would give his all in the future.

Eiichiro Oda's comments prove why he is such a beloved figure in the anime community. Despite being the most successful mangaka in the world, Oda remains humble. Time and again he has expressed his desire not to take breaks, as he does not want to disappoint the fans. His statement shows his undying affection for his readers. But One Piece fans would love nothing more than to see Oda happy and healthy.

Eiichiro Oda needs a break

One Piece is the biggest manga series in the world. It has sold over 500 million copies, making it the best-selling manga series of all time. Every year, the manga ends up in the top three spots, which shows its popularity. Given its popularity, it's hardly surprising that fans are eagerly awaiting the release of chapters.

Drawing manga for such a long time has its drawbacks, and it has caused Oda several health problems, including high blood pressure. According to reports, he also has a poor sleep schedule and poor eating habits. He prefers not to eat until he has finished working on his manuscripts. These habits were bound to catch up with him sooner or later. It's pretty clear that Eiichiro Oda needs a long rest so he can get back to full fitness.

If he continues to ignore his body, the consequences can be severe. So he should take a longer break to deal with his health complications before they get worse. Even the One Piece anime is on hiatus, so it's the perfect time to take a break. Fans will hope that Oda puts himself first and takes care of his health.

One Piece is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
