Well, it's a lot better than Eiichiro, who I am convinced is going to die of lung cancer from his chain smoking or heart attack due to the fact he gets such little sleep, and One Piece will be left unfinished. Oda doesn't take breaks often, or at least he didn't used to until his daughter was born, and is a crazy ass worker. Breaking your heart because he's taking a break is much better than better than breaking your heart because he's terminally ill.
