Call me crazy but I want Fukuda to end up with Iwase. He is pretty good despite his casual attitude, just the thing Iwase should look at in order to get over her perfect-man syndrome.

I'm a Takagi and Aoki shipper. yeah, i love Miyoshi, but his relationship with Aoki, as developed over the phone conversations in vol 7, was absolutely lovely.

Spoiler for manga in question:

Anyone else notice that this is the first chapter without the casual "... and ..." title?

Grey · 2011-01-15, 02:34

Hmm, yeah, it's not really Jump material. It's like Enigma stripped of Jump themes and made more grim. I wonder how the chief editor will handle that, and how it'll influence Ashirogi.

And what's with killing the main character 10 chapters in? Kinda breaks the chance of serialization. Maybe the mangaka knows he'll have to change things to be more "Jump-like". So he just wrote what was "interesting" knowing a lot would be changed anyway.

Isn't this called Goals and Assessment though?

Engima x Deathnote

. As expected of Ouba. No point comparing with PCP since we know they are from the same guy LOL! So that fan is mimicking Mashiro's art style, eh? I saw Mashiro and Azuki inside LOL! Obata is good but need some variations. He could have used back Akari from Hikaru no Go for the gal in the nested manga.

EDIT: and I just bought the character book, surprisingly, both Miho and Kaya are older than their beaus.

Xagzan · 2011-01-15, 12:48

Wow, even Death Note didn't kill everyone. That's some intense stuff.

Weren't they all in the same class though? What are all their ages then?

The whole manga reminds me off Saw, even more so than Enigma. Seems to be a show of the worst parts of humanity, which makes me wonder if the author is a hardcore cynic who hates the world or is just trying to be different. I also have mixed feelings about it. First, I'm just not into hopeless, depressing mangas with bad endings. Second, I also was wondering if any logic was given to manga and how it went from some voice who could seemingly disintegrate people on a whim to a man-eating doppleganger. It just didn't make much sense. Of course, it could have been explained in chapters we weren't shown, but it still didn't seem as good as Mashiro and Takagi were making it out to be.

Though, what can you expect from a manga inside a manga? :P

cloak_and_dagger · 2011-01-17, 19:26

Damn, I wonder if at the end of Bakuman the author would conduct a poll to see what mangas he should do one-shots for. Some of these concepts are excellent.

lightbringer · 2011-01-18, 07:18

Mashiro got really hung up on whether it's Jump material or not, eh. It wasn't a bad concept though, even if the ending needs revision. Having the protagonists struggle on and then still die in the end is just too bleak. Can't wait to see this Ashirogi Jr. entering the stage.

tsunade666 · 2011-01-21, 13:12

The new chapter of bakuman though it still raw so I'm not sure. It shows the one who created the manga which they think is good. The first impression I got on that guy is ..... what the heck is Battler Ushiromiya doing in bakuman.

Took it right out of my mouth. ^_^

lightbringer · 2011-01-22, 15:56

This new guy is bad news. He pretends to be an innocent airhead but he's got it all planned out.

Theoretically he should be under some contract or NDA relating to the contest submission at this point - otherwise the editorial department is too lax in their approach to business (and he within his rights to publish it online, although the part about mentioning the contest results before they are published is definitely over the line). He'll still get off the hook with a slap on the wrist though since they want to serialize him. But it's great seeing stuff about Internet distribution channels in Bakuman.

Kanon Kana Hanazawa ♥ Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: France Age: 37	Spoiler for The classroom of truth #1: That was really some good stuff. I wish they could have shown us the whole story instead of stopping midway through and spoiling the ending (which didn't make a leak of sense). Turns out the mangaka is a new character (I wonder if he's been mentioned before?). I like how the end text calls him "Ashirogi Jr.". If you ask me, Junior has already surpassed his daddies. It's interesting that one of their most faithful fan could become their biggest rival. __________________

Freeter beyond Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: in the club	Spoiler for page 116: "It's not suitable for Jump..." Shut it Ashirogi. Not only was this little tease better than 90% of what's currently running in Jump, but I could already envision it as an anime. I take back what little praise I had for PCP, since this easily grinds it into the dirt with steel-toed boots. It would be interesting if 'Ashirogi Jr' ends up being the 'L' of the series. I wouldn't mind getting more of these chapters-within-chapters, especially if they present fresh and engaging ideas like Truth. __________________

kakakka Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008	I have mixed feelings about the manga. Spoiler for manga: First, I think the story is has a good mystery in it, but looking at the overall story, I think the setting is too simple. Serialization can stretch it up a bit and make it better. The ending (spoiled) wasn't good either. The only guy who looks like a leader of the group just gets erased by his doppelganger? Kind abrupt/anti-climatic. Though again, making it a bit longer can fix this if the mangaka is that good. Overall, I'm not that impressed by the 10 chapter manga, but I am interested how it can be better in improved setting and story through serialization. Certainly a unique manga for Jump if serialized.

Kafriel Senior Guest Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Athens (GMT+2) Age: 35	Also mixed feelings: Spoiler for manga in question: 1) Did they ever find out who was behind it all? 2) Did the manga have the logic that Mashiro felt was lacking behind the kills? 3) How the hell did doppelgangers get involved? 4) They all died in the end. This sucks sooo much, reminds me of a recent movie where the same happened. Anyone else notice that this is the first chapter without the casual "... and ..." title?
