How do you follow up a hit manga about a boy who finds a death god's notebook and uses it to kill those he sees as criminals? A manga so successful that it inspires a hit anime, and not one but two live-action Japanese movies that played in select American Theaters. Well, you write about two high schoolers who try to break into the world of manga making of course. From death gods to mangaka. If you were inspired by Death Note to write your own manga then Bakuman will take on a fun, slightly silly ride into what it takes to create and publish manga in Japan.
Students Moritaka and Akito have vowed to team up and create a manga worthy of publication. Both are avid fans of manga, but know little about how to get published. Though silly at times, Bakuman realistically portrays the difficulties of making a published comic. Both boys know the odds are against them, but they have the determination to put in the practice, and deal with the headaches of the creative process. If you are looking for another edgy, dark ride like Death Note you will be very confused by Tsugumi Ohba's new direction. But if you have always wondered how to make manga you will be fascinated by the details.
