i think he is refering to the casting couch.
it would be interesting to see how far into the world of AV VA's bakuman is willing to go. So far he has manage to put the behind the scene of the manga industry in a favorable light but if he does anything serious with the Seiyu, it won't be pretty.

that sort of thing has been around for a long time. The casting couch is a time honor tradition in the entertainment business. Although the Korean one does seem much more severe.

yea I'm just saying on the outside, the seiyuu model of business seems great and fantastic, but in reality its not so glamorous, REC touches on this and I just thought that it would be interesting for the mangaka to take on this issue, because so far the stuff they've been writing about jump seems pretty realistic, but then again, jumps is running it, and so there must be some censorship. Yes I do know casting couch is a staple of entertainment industry, but it still doesn't make it right. Its pretty much the degradation of female empowerment that women like susan b anthony have fought for, but then again thats off topic.

The thought of Azuki being involved in the dirty idol business is *not* pleasant. Yet I saw the hints for such degradation as an issue as early as when she stepped into the business. The whole "choosing pretty girls" just screamed future trouble.
It's like "serious" lolicon. Not cool. And yeah, though I appreciate character development, the Mashiro x Miho "romance" is just frustrating. On one hand we have this cool shit where mangaka are shonen heroes (don't they look like their creations?) and the new generation fights towards the top, on the other hand we have this hint of sleaziness, potential exploitation, and helplessness on the girl's side. Eh. Off topic: I've never been a fan of the gravure idol business...or any idol business for that matter. It always feel like an industry that takes in unsuspecting young girls, exploit them, fuck them, get rich off of them, oppress them, then spit them out when they can't take it any more. How can I even hope to be aroused with this thought hanging in the background? They are modern day slavery combined with commercialism at its worst. |

Oh my, this topic has gone into very depressing topic. I heard the story of Jang Ja-yeon but never knew she had to go through all that. Is there any attempt of reform in any country of these acts? Bakuman might well as show some of the reality of becoming a voice actor to wake few people up.

I agree with KiNa that Bakuman wouldn't go into that much detail of the seiyuu career. Bakuman is publish Shonan Jump, a younger boys maginazine not a Seinan publish.
It is also kinda ironic that the H-Games are actually more truthful of the Idol/Entertainment industry then any other media availabel to fans.
