Overall
Bakuman is a manga, which story is about the dreams of two tyronic, young boys and the difficulties they plunge into on their way of achieving them. Being a mangaka seems easy to them from the beginning, even though they are tentative and hesitant about it, they decide to give it a try and the first try's success motivates them to keep going.

It becomes better after chapter 12, partly because we see less ...

Life is fulled with all types of hardships, getting into college, finding that special someone, or searching for the job of your dreams. Bakuman is a candy coated child friendly reality around the world of manga publishing and the like, where the obstacles are only shonen cliches.

I remember seeing ads for this one in my other shonen jump mangas growing up so I figured I'd give this one a shot. The premise really resonated with me. I loved writing stories and even now I still draw my own comics. So I got the first volume and gave it a shot.
And yall I was SO BORED. There was just nothing really going on. The plot was super slow, none of the characters were that interesting, and just overall it didn't captivate me the way other manga has. I will say the art style was really nice; very crisp and gorgeous detail ... |
