Because it's an art. Either you blow or you don't. Like musicians; painters; sculptures and etc...Money just doesn't come in regularly. That's what I'm expecting from this manga. More on the hardships of an struggling manga artist. But that'll never happen I guess since it's a shonen title.

Hmm. I just read that first chapter. Wow. How cute. I wasn't expecting it to be this adorable. Mashiro is incredibly cute and I just wanted to hug him (yep, I am *that* weird). I assume he's going to turn into a pretty likeable character, unlike Light. But then again, those two stories are so different! Even more than what I expected. So far this seems lighthearted and sweet. Of course, this is NOT the new Death Note, and it's never going to be, in my opinion, it sounds more like an autobiography of some sorts and I seriously doubt the story is going to be half as intrincate as DN. But after this first chapter, I'll dissociate Bakuman from DN the best I can. This looks very promising so far. I'm pleased. |

The original thread is long gone, considering it was over 3 month ago.
Here's a log of the thread. Quote:
One can draw like no other, but was struggling to write stories that captivated the readers... and the other had the artistic talent of a 6 year old, but knew how to write. This manga really does seem like reflections of themselves.

The first chapter was pretty entertaining.
It really was a bit unexpected that he proposed, and got accepted. I just hope they focus on the love of the characters as much as the life of a mangaka. Which kind of worries me, because they are not allowed to see each other... And I hope they aim for a realistic portrayal of their situation like Hikaru no Go, so maybe 1 out of 3 of them would fail. |

Just some tibits news...
Shueisha's Jumpland electronic manga site has posted the first chapter of the Bakuman manga from the Death Note writer/artist duo of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata for free in English, French, German, and Japanese on Monday. The website's manga installments require a proprietary browser that only runs on the Microsoft Windows XP or Vista operating system. Bakuman's story follows two 14-year-old Japanese high school boys who decide to write and draw their own manga. The Jumpland website has already been posting chapters of Death Note, Bleach, and D.Gray-man since June 30. However, Bakuman is the first manga that Shueisha has released online in multiple languages before it has been released in print outside Japan. Bakuman had just begun on August 11 in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan. Jumpland's English manga chapters will be free until August 31. Source: About.com Manga Source: Animenewsnetwork.com |
