Agreed with Misk here. Look at Togashi who has effectively whistle blown about JUMP's treatment of writers a few times. The Mangaka for World Trigger is also on an indefinite hiatus due to serious illness possibly from over-working (which Togashi has stated was a part of his problems).

As for Fairy Tail, I don't know what the deal is. It could be Mashima's editor and Kodasha are being assholes and making him do certain things cause "mah sells" or he might have gotten bored and wants to do something else and is therefore sabotaging the series without selling out his artistic integrity, or MAYBE he just wants to write Ecchi and/or ero hentai and is unable to do so, thus letting it out here. Hell maybe all 3.

TBH though I would love if Mashima started writing an ecchi manga. Considering how amazing his artwork is, it would be on par, possibly even surprassing Kabuki's, and Kabuki is essentially the ecchi king right now with how much he fucks with the censors.
