Sui Ishida Opens Up About Tokyo Ghoul’s Grueling Schedule

Sui Ishida recently gave fans a look at the intense life behind the scenes of Tokyo Ghoul. In a new interview with Manga Million, the author explained that he regularly worked 12 to 13 hours through the night to keep up with the weekly deadlines. This demanding routine happened five or six days every week.

The schedule was so intense that Ishida admits he barely remembers the specific days of the week. Producing a weekly manga series requires an immense amount of focus and stamina, and Ishida noted that the pressure often blurred the lines of his personal calendar entirely.

Fans appreciate the honesty behind the hard work that went into creating such a classic series. Seeing the reality of the industry helps readers understand the dedication required to deliver new chapters week after week.
