An excellent analysis. I was kinda on the fence about reading/watching Bakuman, but your piece helped me to make up my mind about it and stay as far away from it as possible.

A Wyrdeer, but my hope is they'll upgrade to Arceus. Here's hoping for generational wealth

Hey, I stumbled upon this article while reading about Bakuman on Google.

I kind of agree with the analysis... But, I disagree with the headline of this article. Bakuman has been a huge inspiration for me to start creating my own manga. (Although, I'm still a beginner). It seems that creators can see some merits of Bakuman that other people can't. Good piece though. :>

Aww thanks, I appreciate you stopping by and reading. Bakuman inspiring people to create is huge!! I'll always think that's cool, even if I don't vibe with the majority of the actual story. Good luck with your manga!!!
