Opinions:

Bakuman was an amazing experience for me. It introduces the viewer to the mysterious manga industry that we have all wanted to know about, and puts the characters in real-life scenarios that show just how much work mangakas have to put into their work. Although it sounds like a romance, it focuses primarily on the accomplishments of Mashiro and Takagi as mangakas. The characters are particularly memorable, mainly by the type of manga they produce.
