I am writing this review mostly to resond to that ridiculous accusation.
This manga is amazing! To take a story that is basically only about writing manga and turn it into a battlesque manga that constantly keeps you on your toes takes an author fan and beyond what most are capabale of. Expect no less from the author of Death Note of course.
The art is spectacular also. I didn't think the ending scene had the punch it should have but I think that was a calculated descision on the part of the creators who comment on their industry throughout their 10 volume work.
Read the manga for the art, an unexpected story and most of all for the characters who are HILARIOUS! Particularly EIJI I love him he is just the strangest individual who is sooooo weird and clever. Every scene with him in it has dynamic movement built into it.
If you care at all about manga this is a love note to the industry and to the people who enjoy this medium, be they writers, editors, aritists or readers. To be obsessed like every character in this story you have to be a little weird but as most readers will tell you that is a pretty accurate description of us.
Its a slice of manga life done but two men who have helped define the industry. Not to be missed.
