Tsugumi Ohba strikes again

The creator of Death Note, one of the best manga/anime ever, has started a new series. Bakuman! SPOILERS!!: It is about a 9th grader whose deceased uncle ws a mangaka. Moritaka Mashiro lives a normal high schooler's life but one day he accidentally leaves his notebook with a drawing of the girl he likes in the classroom. When he goes back to retrieve it, the kid with the highest marks in the class, Akito Tamaki, has looked through it and has decided that Mashiro should help him create a manga. Mashiro says he'll think about. Later, Tamaki calls Mashiro and tells him to get over to Azuki's house*. When Mashiro arriaves, the two boys ring the dooor bell and asked to speak to Azuki. When Azuki comes outside, Mashiro starts to get nervous. When Mashiro learns that Azuki wants to be a voice actress, he says that he will be a mangaka if she will do the voice acting for the heroine. She agrees and Mashiro asks her to marry him if they both fufill their dreams. Azuki says yes only if their dreams become true, and not otherwise.And this is only chapter 1. So, do you think it will be popular or not?

 

Sounds interesting. Dunno if it'll be popular, but I will read it.

 

That depends if other people notices. But I think it'll be popular like the last series Death Note. I would read it.:)

 

I agree. I have read both of the chapters and so far I think it has a good chance of being sucessful. The plot seems good, though I suspect that there will be some romance but I am not going into it for now. You just have to read it for yourself. I was bored today and while I was reading Death Note manga, I saw Bakuman 2 and decided to read it. I went back tyo the first one and when I realized what it was, I was instantly hooked. I just hope that if they make this an anime, they do not screw it up by using Near's dubed voice actor.

I'll read it, just 'cuz Ohba wrote it. That's probably how the "popularity" will start off, but if its actually any good, word will spread, and it might become another huge success for him. That's what I hope for, anyway.
