BAKUMAN TP COMP BOX SET: Volumes 1-20 with Premium (Bakuman?Complete Box Set (Volumes 1-20 with premium))

Product Information

Born in Tokyo, Tsugumi Ohba is the author of the hit series Death Note. His current series Bakuman? is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. Despite my dislike of slice-of-life manga, I have to admit Bakuman does pretty much everything right. The story is fun and engaging, plus the characters are very expressive and have great personalities (more on that later, though). Despite the fact that Mashiro’s uncle died from overwork, which is a real life problem in Japan’s society, the manga is pretty lighthearted for the most part. Discover the mystery of manga-making in the bestselling series by Tsugumi Ohba, the creator of the hit series DEATH NOTE, available for the first time in a complete box set. The Box Set includes Volumes 1 through 20, plus the bonus mini-comic “Otter No. 11,” along with a full-color, two-sided poster.

Bakuman Complete Box Set | Book by Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi

Average student Moritaka Mashiro enjoys drawing for fun. When his classmate and aspiring writer Akito Takagi discovers his talent, he begs Moritaka to team up with him as a manga-creating duo. But what exactly does it take to make it in the manga-publishing world? The setting is Japan during current times and the protagonist is Mashiro Moritaka. Mashiro is a highschool student who excels in drawing and is a fan of Manga and anime (a TV show based off a Manga, may be completely orignal on rare occasions) His dream is to become a mangaka, a person who creates Manga either a writer or illustrator or both. He specifically wants to become a mangaka for a weekly magazine called "Shonen jump" the most popular Manga magazine in the world (this is also true for real life) Unfortunately for Mashiro, 3 things are denying him from achieving his dream: He can't write (as in being an author)/ create a story. As important as it is to have good drawing and art style in your Manga, it all doesn't matter if its completely boring... Mashiro isn't an author and therefore can't become a good mangaka.His uncle, Nobuhiro Moritaka. Nobuhiro was a mangaka for "Shonen jump" himself, he knew that Manga wasn't a stable job, if your series loses fans and drops in the weekly rating poll done by fans, the editorial board can cancel your series and demand you deliver them 3 more chapters to wrap up the story and put it to a stop. Nobuhiro had a popular series in Shonen which was even turned into an anime, but eventually the weekly schedule and the pressure from getting canceled everytime his rating was lower then last week were to great for Nobuhiro which eventually committed suicide. This event left a mental scare in mashiro's mind and has kept him away from becoming a mangaka. Bakuman อะนะ แค่นี้ก็ออกมาเยอะมาก ๆ แล้ว แถมเด่นมาก 3 เล่มสุดท้ายด้วย จบไปอย่างสวยงาม แก้เฮิรตซ์กับฮิคารุที่เพิ่งอ่านจบแต่ไม่จบได้ดีเลย Interesante obra para los que tengan curiosidad sobre cómo funciona el mundo de las revistas de manga, el oficio de dibujante, etc. como era mi caso.

First of all, the reason the review is on the boxset is because this is a Manga (The Japanese equivalent of a comic book) it has fewer words and is significantly shorter per book in compression with a novel, so to compensate for that I read the entire series and my review is a general review of the series as a whole.

Summary

To be able to create a typical "Shonen" story while not including any of the typical action synonymous with the category is a talent this duo are well known for by now but still you would be hard pressed to find anyone else able to make a story about two teenagers creating manga this exciting that it feels like a typical "Shonen" story. As a whole, I really enjoyed it, the story is fascinating, the actual facts on JUMP are interesting, but what I liked best are the characters which you get attached to easily. (Except for two that kept getting on my nerves, that is Iwase and then Nanamine. These two, I could have done without.) Like I said some time, a long time ago, I'm only adding mangas when there's a reference for the full series or very few volumes, because otherwise my stats get messy. Also, I don't like reviewing them volume per volume as my opinion on them is on the whole thing rather than individual volumes. I need to sell off a few box sets as I am strapped for room! Willing to entertain offers, but I am not interested in trades at this time. I am also not splitting unless 2 or more people fully commit to each box. The pricing will be split between all buyers! No PMs unless you post in this thread first!
