I think Bakuman started off really good and it has some good parts but it's really not that great. Mainly ebcause the art should be more realistic like Death Note was, the art is too cartooning and doesen't fit the story too well. And the story itself isn't even that great really.
i think this first volume is rather inspirational. as a college student, i feel like that i have to pick a normal career path and become an ordinary member of society, and this manga says to throw that out the window and do what you really want to do. especially nice to read before i have to sit thru my math class. also volume 2 is great so far
Bakuman is awesome. It is probably one of my favorite mangas, only losing to One Piece and maybe Fullmetal Alchemist. I like the way they explain how to do manga and the difficulties they go through trying to get their manga published and having an anime
@LucasYchisawa Don't know if you ever read Slam Dunk or Vagabond but read those and you'll think every other manga is shit. They will just blow you're mind away. One Piece and FMA are great manga's but there still not quite near the level of Vagabond or Slam Dunk.
@futureanimatior two mangas that's waaaaay underrated. characters were deeply and thoroughly thought and characters were realistic and has a 3-dimensional characteristic.
This would be one of my new favorite manga/anime series. And yeah I also agree with how Moritaka is cliche, but it works. And I liked your explanation of the love interest, but in case you haven't seen the later anime episodes or whatnot, she really is a symbol for the creation of his new goal you know? Really adds the drive to his already so desirable aspiration! Awesome review, I absolutely love your channel thanks man!
I started reading it and watching the anime :D Though I never knew the manga was from the creators of death note o.o Well the art style looks similar so I have no idea how I missed that one.
I love Bakuman <3 It makes me laugh and smile. I love it when I see a random bit of artwork with a familiar character on it or a reference to other series. Like I laugh whenever they reference Death Note. I'm like, "SELF ADVERTISING!" I simply love the plot and characters and how they act.
i like the series and just bought the second vol today, only thing i don't like about the manga is nothing really :3, regardless ive delt with some death note fans that said this was stupid, and they were annoying as hell, not knowing there better anime/manga than death note, not saying its bad its just the fans -_-"
Nice review, but Saiko and Tagaki don't take it up as a hobby, they take it up as more of a carreer choice. Also if you do a review of the second volume might wanna use their names. "The artist character is quiet and direct while the artist character is more talkitive and energetic" lol. And trust me the stakes get much more exciting and tense when you see the different manga made in the later volumes.
If you need one more reason to read this there is a death note joke in like the first chapter

Great review, I agree that the heavy use of dialogue was rather boring but it's still an insightful read on creating manga.

the manga turns somewhat into a romance later on in.
