Who's reading this manga? I'd say it's the next best thing since Death Note, very interesting with an unique plot and storyline which works out in the end.
Art is good too, as it's by the same people who brought to you Death Note.
Definitely recommend this to everyone, and hopefully it'll soon be adapted into an anime series.


Genre
Comedy, Drama, Romance, School life, Shounen

Summary

It's not easy to become and live as a mangaka, Mashiro knows that from his late uncle. At his 9th grade, while trying to keep up with reality, school and then normal job, he left his notebook with a sketch of Azuki, a girl he likes. Tamaki, a first rate student found it and trying to convince Mashiro to draw a manga with his story. Mashiro doesn't like the idea and tries to decline. Tamaki, however, tries to stick to dream and found out that Azuki also wants to be a voice actress and already got a good reply from a production company. Tamaki, then, brought Mashiro to her house and telling her his dream.... Mashiro then tells her that he will write a manga with Tamaki and will ask Azuki to voice their anime. Out of confusion, Mashiro asks her if the dreams become reality, will she marry him? She says yes, only if their dreams become true, and not otherwise!! Now, lifes of wannabe mangakas begin!!!

I've been reading Bakuman since the 1st chapter came out, automatically caught my attention when I saw the DN crew doing story/art

I want to read Shujin's Money and Intelligence >w>

*edit*

I still question the title and why it's called "Bakuman"
Has it got to do with the real manga Shujin and Mashiro make?

Chapter 35 is out and the manga is considerably on it's way to becoming an anime.

Once it has reached to about 70 chapters, I bet an anime adaptation for 24 if not 13 eps will be made.

It's getting very very exciting, and if you have not been following this manga series yet, I HIGHLY reccomend it, good story, good artwork and well written humor, this manga is one of the best!

WHAT WILL MIHO DO??? WILL SHE BECOME A GRAVURE IDOL FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR DREAM??? I swear Mashiro is an idiot... even though it's very realistic, any guy would think that.... gahhh exciting...

wow, time flies, I still remember spotting the 1st chapter and reading it then I noticed it was from the DN guys so I kept going to see its potential.

@ spoiler INOERITE? I'm still sticking around to what will happen to them and why-is-the-manga-called-Bakuman-arrrr~!

This manga is definitely one-of-a-kind, a manga about manga with Shonen Jump cameos (like how Mashiro is reading Naruto)
... very intelligent series indeedy.

It's very recent and only available in Shonen Jump.
Unfortunately, the only way to read this manga is by scanlations.
