Dude let's write a manga about writing a manga!? Something so wrong had never turned out so right. If you've only read a couple of manga before your not going to understand this so go read something else.

Story
-----
It's about two guys writing manga, the obstacles they face and how they overcome said obstacles. Sometimes chapters do focus on other fictional mangaka and the manga they have in the works which is really cool because some of the manga make me wish these were real. Bakuman shows you process of getting manga published and of manga getting canceled, it also shows you how stressful it is to be a mangaka.

Art
----
The art is very well done, I mean this guy did Death Note. Though the art can get repetitive and boring at times because they are usually just in the studio, making manga we know in love.

Character
----------
They've got a whole slew of characters which they cycle through every few chapters do show you how they are doing. Also the inter-character relationships are pretty unique, especially the one among the two MCs, they seem to read each other minds.

Enjoyment
------------
Listening to people talk about writing manga can get boring at points, but the majority of the time you'll be entertained.

Bakuman, the first successful manga about writing a manga. I hope no one tries to do this over, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth.
