When it comes to how many pages of manga can be drawn in a day, there are different opinions among manga artists. For example, Japanese manga artist Tetsuya Chiba, known for creating works such as “Little Boxing King,” recalled being criticized by editors for drawing too slowly. The editor said that a normal person can draw 20 to 30 pages a day, but Tetsuya Chiba feels that drawing 7 pages a day is already his limit.
