In the second issue of Nikkan Sports Shinbun-sha's Shūkan One Piece Shimbun (Weekly One Piece Newspaper) on Thursday, One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda reported that he wakes up in the morning at 5:00 a.m. and works until 2:00 a.m. after midnight. He usually sleeps from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.

He said earlier that what he enjoyed most about being a manga creator is the chance to meet people such as Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama . He added that he does not take any time off, even though he would like to go on a family trip — or go anywhere outside.
