I see what you're getting at, and that was my thoughts on the matter too until I looked into it further. FIrstly, mangaka know what they're getting into. They accept that they'll have to work this hard from the getgo. Secondly, the health of the mangaka is very heavily thought of. Its first and foremost to the magazine, so they will relieve artists of their duties, but may also not have much faith in them to produce simply because they don't want to overwork their employees anymore than they naturally have to.

So they don't just see mangaka as cogs in their machine, but being a mangaka is shouldering a very heavy burden, kinda like the majority of their series' main characters do. I wonder if thats any more than a coincidence...lol.
