Hot off the heels of Kodomo no Jikan, Kaworu's artistic ability has leveled up in a big way. If you don't know the artist who penned this manga suffered a major blow, after getting a big deal with a U.S. distribution company for her pedorag mag, they suddenly pulled shelf space when the contents of the second volume were made aware.
Now imagine being in this headspace and writing something like Bakuman, you see when Bakuman was written, Obata and Oishi had already reached the pinnacle of success, not only were they jump regulars but they had reached world wide renown with their series Death
...
Note. Kaworu sensei comes at this manga from a much more visceral place.
This manga reaches a greater depth of emotion, the protagonist is unknown to the reader due to changes in perspective and how the story champions different heroes at times. Every character is peripherally related to manga and even Kaworu herself is embodied in a character that complains about the injustice of the KnJ situation. It's written with much more anger, but there is a lot of love. Though the characters struggle and fail, the love of manga really shines through.
Though it may seem oversexualized, this is the kind of story the author wanted to write, as an answer to being banned in the U.S. the whole thing reads like a love note to KnJ with much better art and a faster pace. It's a wild ride with plenty of anime tiddy to take in along the way as gas. There is clever unexpected humor and even romance. Because Kaworu goes places others dare not to go the cliche character tropes can't be found here.
All in all 8/10 so far
tl;dr: Angry Bakuman with 2D qts
