The story is fun and engaging, plus the characters are very expressive and have great personalities (more on that later, though).

He went on to illustrate the smash hit Death Note as well as the hugely successful manga Bakuman。 and All You Need Is Kill.

I get that there’s a specific context behind why they want to get an anime of their manga, but as someone who’s seen so many great works get horrible anime adaptations, I couldn’t help but cringe, especially since their storytelling style is just the kind of unconventional stuff that can only work in the manga medium. The insight to the world of Japanese manga publishing is fascinating, and references to fiction within fiction, through the titles created by characters in the story, are a joy to stumble upon.

Sure, Miho has plot relevance, but you don’t really get to see her progress that much; you only see the results. One day, a classmate finds a notebook Mashiro left behind, a notebook full of random sketches and drawings. 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. Takeshi Obata was born in 1969 in Niigata, Japan, and first achieved international recognition as the artist of the wildly popular Shonen Jump title Hikaru no Go, which won the 2003 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize: Shinsei New Hope Award and the 2000 Shogakukan Manga Award. As stated by the profile placed at the beginning of each Death Note manga, Ōba collects teacups and develops manga plots while holding his knees on a chair, similar to a habit of L, one of the main characters of the series.

This really showcases what an absolute mastermind of art Obata is, and I have the utmost respect for him. The characters were all endearing and had their own goals to pursue, probably my favorite part of the manga. My least favorite characters are probably the two main characters’ love interests, the aforementioned Miho, and Takagi’s girl, Kaya Miyoshi. At times he also expertly injects such exaggerated caricatures of his characters that they are hilarious in of themselves, yet the timing and use of these amidst other panels accentuates the characters' very real feelings and truly communicates the sense of story; aiding the visual style not exclusively for comedy, but also in a range of situations.

He mumbles about how he is going to chase his dream and make an Manga so popluer it'll eventually be an anime and that he'd like her to be the heroine in his anime. Azuki has been Mashiro's crush ever since he remembers himself, and this information pushes Mashiro to an edge, he realizes that if he becomes popular enough and make his dream come true his Manga will become and anime and anime needs voice actors, and if Azuki chases her dream and becomes good at voice acting she could voice the heroine in his very own show.With some talking and convincing, Takagi semi-gets Mashiro to agree, the final push to make Mashiro chase his dream still wasn't there, and Takagi noticed this. Many of the clever series outlines are worthy of a full series themselves, yet they are not too focused upon so as to detract from the main story; rather they serve to add some believability and depth to the world we are presented. I found myself laughing through numerous pages, being warmed by the heartfelt camaraderie between characters and thrilled by suspense in rivalries and obstacles which the main characters face.
