Review 12: Bakuman (Get your pens out)
In this review i'll be explaining what Bakuman is
and the characters init as people are getting to confused with Bakuman and
Bakugan which annoys me and my friends at school very much. -_-.
First of all the series of books is all about two
best friends who have brilliant imaginations and wish to create a book together
for Shonen Jump.
When making some prototypes for Shonen Jump they
see all of the highs and lows of being a writers and artist's and how much they
need to do to just be in the magazine monthly. Whilst balancing high school
life and a producers life they realize that their can only be one route for
both of them, which means hard decisions and risks that they have to take that
would hopefully make their rest of their lives the best it could be.
Akito Takagi: He is one of the main characters for
the Bakuman anime and manga series. At the beginning of the series we see him
as a 14 year old high school student. His nickname through out the series is
Shuujin and as he meets another boy in his class named Moritaka he realizes his
amazing drawing skills and potential as an artist so he asks if they can help
each other out. Hes the most intelligent in his class and gets top grades
throughout the school every term, with his intelligence on his side he becomes
the maker of the story lines and character profiles which Moritaka than works
on to make the stories that they put together come to life. Akito's girlfriend
is annoyingly loud and makes Moritaka a bit more frustrated whenever she comes
round to their work room.
Moritaka Mashiro: Is really the main character that
all of the attention is focused on throughout the series. The series of books
starts off with him being 14 just like Akito. They both meet each other by
being put in to the same class and had no contact before that which adds a bit
of a mysterious side to it as they are complete strangers up until this moment
in their lives. He isn't as intelligent as Akito but is more creative as he
always draws and doodles in lessons so his grades are always a little bit lower
then Akito. As Moritaka is in to art he usually expresses himself through the
drawings that he does in class, especially to one girl (who i will not be
mentioning), she wants to pursue the dream of becoming a voice over actress and
as Moritaka wants to become a artist they realise that their dreams are to
different so they try to maintain it for as long as they can, which eventually
turns out to be perfect for them both.
The story than goes on for them as they see all of
the ups and downs that any other artist would expect to see and witness at some
point in their ives.
you wouldn't expect the creators at shonen Jump to
reveal so much about how to get into the magazine and how it all works in the
offices but they reveal a lot about it all and also mentioning the names of
some rivals that they will come across at some point which brings the two
infamous creators down just a little bit, but they get back up on to their feet
fighting once again to win their place in the magazine and become the artists
that they've always wanted to be.
In the second book in the series you realize that
it isn't all fun and games for them all as it's the middle of their term at
school people aren't all to comfortable when they see their names on the back of the weekly Shonen Jump magazine, boys in their classes seem to think that it
isn't likely that their dreams will ever come true and that they will fail just
like their dreams are.....But when some children in their classes adjust to the
fact that they aren't going to give up any time soon some start to admire it
and start to become fans of their short stories.
As i am still watching and reading the series of
Bakuman i don't know a lot that happens after the 6th book which makes me feel
a little bit down as i could tell you more about the series, i'll be updating
on the series when i have time to and will be explaining more about what
happens in each book.
