How many bakuman books are there

As important as it is to have good drawing and art style in your Manga, it all doesn't matter if its completely boring Mashiro isn't an author and therefore can't become a good mangaka. One day, a classmate finds a notebook Mashiro left behind, a notebook full of random sketches and drawings.

When Mashiro goes back to his classroom at the end of the schoolday after remembering he forgot his sketch book there, Mashiro an Takagi meet. Takagi complements Mashiro's drawing saying that with a bit of practice he could become professional, Akito also reveals himself to be a fantastic author who can't draw anything but wants to become a mangaka. With some talking and convincing, Takagi semi-gets Mashiro to agree, the final push to make Mashiro chase his dream still wasn't there, and Takagi noticed this.

To force Mashiro into a place where all he could care about was Manga and becoming a Mangaka for "Shonen jump" Takagi gives Mashiro some intel. He tells Mashiro that Azuki Miho's dream is to become a voice actress. Azuki has been Mashiro's crush ever since he remembers himself, and this information pushes Mashiro to an edge, he realizes that if he becomes popular enough and make his dream come true his Manga will become and anime and anime needs voice actors, and if Azuki chases her dream and becomes good at voice acting she could voice the heroine in his very own show.

Filled with excitement and unexplained feelings he and Takagi head straight for Azuki's house. Mashiro rings the bell and Azuki comes to the front door to great him, Mashiro doesn't exactly understand why he came to her house to announce this and together with the fact that he is standing in front of his crush he kinda panics.

He mumbles about how he is going to chase his dream and make an Manga so popluer it'll eventually be an anime and that he'd like her to be the heroine in his anime. This also inspires Azuki who says she'll be delighted to do so and promises she will also begin to chase her dream. Hearing this makes Mashiro lose his nerve and he exclaims: "So when are dreams come true, will you merry me?

Mashiro realizes what he had just done and as he's about to take what he said back she responds "Yes" Azuki reveals that Mashiro was her crush for a long time as well and that she agrees to the proposal of getting married once their dreams come true. This was the final push Mashiro needed to convince himself to become a mangaka and leave all his worries behind, his grades in school, his uncles suicide, and now that he has Takagi by his side the writing is no longer an issue.

Together they go forward towards achieving their dreams and fighting the hardships along the way. The quote I choose is the one I mentioned earlier: "so when our dreams come true, will you marry me?

The quote has to do with all of them in a direct way, at least that's how I see it from my prospective, which is why I choose this quote.

However, when he leaves his notebook at school one day, a starving writer named Akito Takagi sees it, and says that they should make a manga together.

And just like that, boom! End goal established! Despite my dislike of slice-of-life manga, I have to admit Bakuman does pretty much everything right. The story is fun and engaging, plus the characters are very expressive and have great personalities more on that later, though. Naturally, the big appeal of Bakuman is its theme: manga publishing. The cast is also surprisingly good. They work with one of two editors at any given time: Akira Hattori and Goro Miura.

There are also a number of rivals in Bakuman. My favorite is Eiji Nizuma, who is a true prodigy, but is a total eccentric. He also walks in Jojo poses, which you need to see in order to believe. Along with him are the brash Fukuda and the terminally antisocial Hiramaru, among other people. Now for the art. Holy crap. I think that is the best art Obata has ever provided. This really showcases what an absolute mastermind of art Obata is, and I have the utmost respect for him.

My one real complaint with Bakuman is the fact that the protagonists want an anime so badly. Yeah, I just said that. Everything about it is top-top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves manga in general, and heck, probably those who love anime too.

To be able to create a typical "Shonen" story while not including any of the typical action synonymous with the category is a talent this duo are well known for by now but still you would be hard pressed to find anyone else able to make a story about two teenagers creating manga this exciting that it feels like a typical "Shonen" story. Definitely recommend this, however I find the tv series even more interesting as they took some liberties by bringing to life some of the stories created by the To be able to create a typical "Shonen" story while not including any of the typical action synonymous with the category is a talent this duo are well known for by now but still you would be hard pressed to find anyone else able to make a story about two teenagers creating manga this exciting that it feels like a typical "Shonen" story.

Jan 09, Andy rated it it was amazing. What a great series to binge. I could not put the volumes down as I fell in love with the series positivity and enthusiasm. The characters were all endearing and had their own goals to pursue, probably my favorite part of the manga.

Overall, entertaining and well done from beginning to end. It never bored me at all. If I wasn't a Tsugumi Ohba fan before, it would be a lie to say I am not one now. Jan 28, Michael Perez rated it it was amazing Shelves: manga. Easily one of my new favorites. I really loved how this is a relatively simple concept about two boys trying to make it in the manga industry. Great characters and great energy carry this series hard, way over the author's previous work Death Note.

I love this series and have almost nothing to complain about. Anyone into manga should read this to better understand out the whole creation process works. Also recommended for newcomers. Nov 24, William rated it it was amazing Shelves: recommendations , own-physical. Great manga with incredible insight into the world of manga creation and publishing. Would recommend to anyone interested in manga especially shonen jump.

Jun 02, Michaela rated it it was amazing. You have to do your best job possible within that given time. If you want to do a good job, you need to have conceit and luck. In fact, it takes Mashiro and Takagi 10 years to achieve theirs.
