When Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi announced that they're working on a new series, the world went all "Yeah!", even I was kind of interested in their new piece because I enjoyed Death Note. It wasn't as phenomenal as everyone says but it was fairly good read. So, now when Bakuman ended I think it's right time to write some short review.

Volume 7 opens with a major setback and the rest of the volume is tackling how to deal with that. The main conflict is between Muto Ashirogi and their editor, Mr. Muira. What makes it interesting is not so much that either is wrong, but that both have very different personalities and desires in what they want to read in manga. A fight with an editor is entertaining to read because, once more, you can feel for both sides. Then near the end, some potential relationship drama kicks in, something th...more

I think this series is at its best when it focuses on the mechanics of how manga magazines make the decisions they do. I found this volume's look at creator-editor conflict with Muto Ashirogi and Miura to be really engaging because I could see where they were both coming from. Plus the focus on statistics and trying to analyze what makes a manga likely to succeed in the long-term was interesting. Its something I instinctively want to argue against because I feel like the stories that really expl...more
I really liked the back and forth between Saiko, Shujin and their editor. They all have very strong opinions on what will work. It is also good to see the Ashirogi team being open to trying something new, once the latter half of the book starts up.
Seeing the amount of work that Miura has put into the research for the gag series that he wants Saiko and Shujin to do really makes me appreciate him more, and not see him as just a huge goofball.

La sospensione della serie in corso, la ricerca di una nuova serie.
E sopratutto, gli scontri con l'editor, ben più inesperto del primo che avevano avuto, fissato in maniera ossessiva con l'avere delle serie sotto il suo controllo e amante della comicità... ma Ashirogi potrà davvero fare qualcosa di comico?

The plot thickens! I'm willing to bet that the artist that Iwase teams up with will be either Mr Nakai, Takahama or Miss Aoki herself.
We'll just have to wait and see!

I'm enjoying the continuing arc of this story.

As usual the story and artwork work together like genius. I love the expressions, they are exaggerated, yet realistic and just great, and the body language is spot on.
I like how the story is developing, they have spring forward, then fall back, but they never lose their enthusiasm and are always thinking up new schemes to get what they want.
It's very funny as well.

Read this particular volume three times. Loved the artist vs. editor conflict that went on. With everyone out of high school and into college, old friends from middle school are popping up.
dans la lignée des 6 autres, l'histoire se tient toujours, le talent de Takeshi Obata n'est plus a prouver, toujours aussi bon dessin, j'ai adoré voir les némus de Ten!!!
