overall the series is quite a good one, its got everything you'd expect from a good anime. the story is amazing, it can be sad, happy, frustrating, exciting, it really is the full experience.
however, the one thing that really annoys me about bakuman is the romance between the lead mashiro and azuki. this is probably the slowest ever romance ive ever watched. its painful to watch for this fact alone. i found myself constantly getting annoyed at the lack of romantic development between these two, towards the end of season 1 i realised just how slow the romance was, and man was i dissapointed. even the ending of the entire series was dissapointing (i wont spoil the ending, but lets say that from the start of the anime, this is the level of romance; 0->10->2->2->2->2->2->2->10).
if you are watching this anime for the romance between these 2, i advise that you watch the first 8ish episodes then skip to the last episode in season 3...
