I'm a night person that forces myself to be a morning person. It's a constant battle.

When it comes to writing, I'm better at getting it done right after the gym, before the workday starts. I try to make it an appointment with myself. It doesn't feel like work if you're enjoying what you're writing - but I do find I outline easier at night when I'm feeling a little more loopy.

I, also, need to read more manga. I've been keeping up with Chainsaw Man and Wild Strawberry right now - while going back and reading Kaiju No. 8. Much like you said, they're very good and ramping things up without ever looking back.

I like the idea of "making an appointment with myself." It's like a check in and the time is better used writing than scrolling social media or catching up on emails.

I'm not familiar with Wild Strawberry. I'll have to add that to the list. There is quite a lot to choose from right now. I've enjoyed what I've read of Chainsaw Man, but I'm several chapters behind. I've heard nothing but good things about Kaiju No. 8 so I'll have to move that up the list.
