Bakuman, Volume 10: Imagination and Presentation (2012)
Rivalry out of respect. This is a striking difference between battles, in any forms, found in Japanese comic and its western counterparts. It is found in many other cultural forms as well. That's what makes Japanese culture is so distinct in my opinion. This volume of the series is the best so fa...
Bakuman., Band 4 (2010)
Esta historia no hace más que mejorar y mejorar, los personajes resultan geniales, entretenidos y la incorporación de nuevos personajes no hace más que enriquecer aún más la trama ya de por si interesante.Después de tomar su decisión, Mashiro elige ser mangaka por su cuenta y ha Takagi no le qued...
Bakuman, Volume 8: Panty Shot and Savior (2011)
I'm really enjoying this series and the twists and turns! This is the first manga I've read, though I've seen others in anime and live action form (including Death Note, a very popular series written by the same pair). Also learning a lot about manga in general, which could be applied to any kind...
Bakuman, Volume 5: Yearbook and Photobook (2011)
This was a good volume, but not an excellent one compared to the previous volumes. It lacked dramatic and inspirational moments for me. Instead, it portrayed the realistic grind of the manga production schedule—informative and detailed, yet dull as any job could be. The art was off slightly, it s...
Bakuman Vol. 2 (2009)
This volume was even better than the first! We are seriously starting to delve into the world of shonen manga publishing, and it is absolutely fascinating! The "big reveal" moments had me flipping pages faster than you can say "Bakuman", and the characters were fantastic in that they all have ver...
Bakuman, Volume 4: Phone Call and the Night Before (2011)
This is a volume full of action as Mashiro and Takagi compete for the Gold Future Cup in order to get a chance to get a serialization in Shonen Jump. Because of its focus on action, the intensity ramps up and I am actually less interested in what goes on, ironically. We do get to know (and like) ...
Bakuman, Volume 3: Debüt und Ungeduld (2011)
This could've been something different. I loved the details about the inside trades, the ranking battles, and the market manipulations. I loved that for once, instead of living-for-art run of the meal motivation, we get something that is honest about pride, vanity, popularity and societal approva...
Bakuman, Volume 2: Chocolate and Akamaru (2009)
I am reading a few of these volumes because I just finished the five volumes of I'll Give It My All Tomorrow, the sweet wannabe mangaka story of someone who is trying to figure himself out at 42. I like that series a lot. This is 20 volumes (more?) and for a somewhat younger audience, maybe, but ...
