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 ...
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...
i never actually owned the box set, but instead decided to review this instead of going through every book (which im assuming most people did as well). i have always liked the manga art style, whether it was just in drawings , or in an anime, or in graphic novel form. i had only read a little bit...
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) ...
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...
Still no character development, but the cast grows when a new Kira appears and with her... a new shinigami! Things are getting trickier and the ways for Light to mess up are becoming more numerous. Will Kira and L take their battle of wits and strategy into the light? Or do the shadows continue t...
I think it's pretty safe to conclude that the main character -- anti-hero protagonist Light Yagami -- is an absolute arsehole. Whether I should like Light or not no longer appears to be ambiguous and it has become quite clear that Light is the true villain of his own story. I am passionately hopi...
So far i the book a new girl named Misa has the eyes that can see a persons name to use in the death note and used that to find the identity of Kira/light. All the investigators who are all trying to figure out who is Kira suspects that it could be the chief of polices son who which in fact is K...
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...
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...
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...
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...
