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.

Whew! I am all caught up on this series. Reading 8 volumes in a short period time is a feat in itself, but reading 8 volumes of Bakuman is crazy. And, I'm crazy. These volumes are incredibly dense, taking me at least a couple of hours a volume to get through (contrast that with a volume of Kimi ni Todoke that only takes about 30 minutes for me to read).
I really love manga, so it would stand to reason that I would be interested in the process that goes on to create manga. That interest doesn't ne...more

I've never been a fan of the starving artist archetype; there's nothing wrong with writing commercially viable fiction. Writers gotta eat. This manga's total opposition to artistic integrity is starting to bother me though. The bit where Fukuda decides he wants to quit Kiyoshi because he's losing in popularity to Nizuma and Ashirogi was what tipped me over the edge. Do these stories mean nothing to their artists? The whole thing is just a popularity game? Because that's gross. The shonen formula...more
Ashirogi has been struggling these past few volumes to finish with Tanto and come up with something more in line with their style. They watch as everyone else seems to be moving forward, leaving them in the dust. Will they ever be able to compete with Nizuma...or even Iwase.
Unlike in previous volumes where Iwase seemed more interested in getting with some man or another in this volume I think she finally develops some actual desire to make a great manga. Still, it's not because she believes in...more

I accidentally skipped this and headed to vol 11, 12 and 13. Eventhough I know what will happen I still enjoyed the twist and turns of the story and the great detailed artwork. Also the reason I collect these tankobons (collected trade paperbacks) is to support the creators while enjoying it like they do in Japan (except my copy is the US version). Always a great read and will look forward to Volume 14 this September.

même si le côté dramatisé de l'intrigue est parfois poussif

ce manga reste quand même une super virée dans l'univers

I love this volume! Suspenseful, exciting, funny, cute, and inspiring. I love everyone's interactions. The little tidbits with Kaya and Miho were good too, and as always, I love seeing Kaya's contributions to Shujin and Saiko's efforts.

WHOA THIS ONE WAS SO EXCITING! I loved how fired up Mashiro and Takagi were! The one thing that bothers me is how... not happy Hattori was about becoming their new editor. I don't understand!!
This book manages to keep up the tension. There isn't too much with the supporting cast in this volume, but Muto Ashirogi undergoes significant growth.
The tension is really high in this one. Will they be able to come up with a new series? Will it be good enough? I really liked it.
Enjoyable volume. Love the behind the scenes drama at the Shonen Jump bullpen. Great characters.
YEYYY! Hattori's back.
Me ha encantado! Ahora se empiezan a poner las cosas en su sitio!
So so good. Need volumes 11 to arrive already!
I lurv this series. It is amazing!

Things are finally coming together!
I just love this series!
It seems are manga comic duo (Mashiro and Takagi) faces some tense pressure in coming up with an all-star series. They literally go through three different story concepts. I was happy to see that they are pushing themselves; rather than getting into a slump like they did during their gag manga days. I enjoyed even seeing their final storyboards as they developed them. I really can't wait to see if they can prove the editors wrong and create a work that can take them to the top of the book charts...more
They're really, really motivated.
