Yes, yes I know. We are an anime club-- not a manga club. But that doesn't mean we can't appreciate both! This section will be for any interesting manga that I find, and think that you all would appreciate as well. If you have any suggestions feel free to throw an email my way! (chsanime@gmail.com)
Bakuman
As so eloquently put by Wikipedia; "Bakuman (バクマン。 ?) is a shōnen manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and drawn by Takeshi Obata. The series follows talented artist Moritaka Mashiro and aspiring writer Akito Takagi, two ninth grade boys who wish to become mangaka." And they are right on the button. Bakuman is a wonderful manga about the difficulties of creating what we all enjoy at almost every bookstore. It goes into the intricacies of creating a story line that fits the right demographic needed to become a full-fledged mangaka. But Bakuman goes beyond this, following a budding romance between Takagi and Kaya Miyoshi that takes a backseat to the rollercoaster that is the publishing business. Created by the gurus that made Death Note, Bakuman is a dynamic story with beautiful artwork and expressive characters that kept me waiting at the edge of my seat for the next chapter.
----It is being updated regularly as we speak on Onemanga as well as Mangafox.
