Bakuman by Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi

[FrostyMouse]

[COLOR="seagreen"]If this were reality, you know the public poll will get trolled to hell and back in favour of anybody but Azuki. Takagi's earlier note about the monthly poll in Seiyuu Fan More holds some truth.

But since this is manga, I guess it'll go well in the end. Will be interesting to see how Obata and Ohba illustrate something that's more vocal-specific rather than visual. My guess would be they just come up with some seiyuu names and quickly skip to the poll and suspense...which will feel boring.

Most likely it'll be bad, but I'll make it through. While I've been a bit disappointed in some of the more recent chapters, seeing Azuki is better than not seeing her.

In the future, Heike, PM Ninja Jamal if you want to correct his/her grammar rather than making a post. It's kinda like reposting the same thing.

Got it, sorry for causing you trouble

I kinda wanna support the realism because that's what keeps this manga going, even the characters are shaped to some extent after real people.

About your guess I have a shaky feeling that that's what's going to happen while I do hope that the duo won't disappoint me There's this feeling, you know

[Nognir]

So this is how it's gonna be... Some more hurdles towards the dream. It normally sounds like stretching the story and delaying the ending, but I bet that O&O can pull it off without getting boring. Interesting...

Heike, I'm 99% sure that if we consider the context, he meant "let go" as "let's go" and not "stop."
Like, PLEASE LET'S GO WITH THE PUBLIC TEST, because Mashiro is supportive of it. He doesn't want them to stop it, but yeah. Just my two cents.

You are correct!
I apologizes that my mistake cause more confusion
I am usually in a rush, and also wants to get it out as soon as possible
so other fans can enjoy it as early as they can
just wondering... do people prefer a short summaries or abit more into the dialogue and details?

I usually like with details, but dialogue isn't necessary if you don't have much time ^^

[MRachu]

Mmm the interesting part is when they said "public"
to me its obvious that something big is going to happen when azuki is there
(like ishizawa smacks her with a pie or something)
this would never hapen in real life, they would do something online and
count votes but i think they are going to REALLY give her a bad time doing it
and she is going to show how bad she really wants to do the role
and she loses by votes but every one is touched, change their minds and credits
O and azuki and miho will get pregnant a the same time or something

So... how exactly do you drawl vocal talent? It seems rather hard. Therefore, I think if we are given any visual of the contest, then it will focus on their facial expressions and body movements while they read the parts they're buying for. I know that sounds weird, why would a Seiyuu need to act when all that's being recorded is their voice? But oddly, they get completely immersed in their rolls. Sorry if you don't like One Piece, but this is a brilliant example of what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2TNFElEGWc So it is entirely possible to depict the contest of voices through art... rather, I feel it would be boring if they didn't include some portion of the contest in the manga, and had O&O chosen not to do the contest at all, and just give Azuki the part, it would feel too easy, too contrived.

Regardless, I believe Azuki has the talent and drive to produce an amazing quality of voice acting, such that even Otakus who hate her will be drawn in by her voice. Not to mention, most Japanese people are not Otaku, and therefore, don't hold Seiyuus at the goddess standard that Otaku do. And while its true these non-Otaku are normally not the type to engage in Anime polls, it has been clearly stated that there is a significant populace of non-Otaku who have become Azuki's supporters. Whether its for her voice or her dream, I believe most of us her would vote for Azuki if such a case was exhibited in real life. Likewise, the majority of Japanese -who are clear thinkers, without the hypocracy to judge Seiyuus as their objective property to be regulated and maintained 'pure'-, will pull for her. Well at any rate, that's how the world should work, and thus that is how it will happen in jump.

On another note, thanks so much for the raw!!! Knifeshade, might you be producing a translated scan? If so, I your humble servant, faithfully await its blessed arrival.

Probably. It's just that this chapter has "UPCOMING BATTLE TO THE DEATH FOR 'NAHO' GOOO" written all over it for the next chapter. So I'm kinda expecting stuff like we see during ferocious manga making and "manga battles". And then I was like "how the heck will they illustrate the atmosphere?". Like I said earlier, if they skip it, it'd be boring.

Not entirely true. Not saying you're wrong but it feels a bit naïve. Being a public poll is one thing, but who will be interested in the poll is another. Picking the seiyuu for an anime isn't exactly breaking news headline material. Logically speaking, only anime/manga/seiyuu fans and Studio 92 fans will take notice of it.

And then I was like "how the heck will they illustrate the atmosphere?". Like I said earlier, if they skip it, it'd be boring.

I think, Ohba will draw Miho that looks like she's really standing out to the other seiyuus. A whole page or a spread that she's in the middle voicing Naho then surrounded by lots of panels containing the reaction of audiences that are amazed to her voice.

english scan is out: http://www.mangareader.net/bakuman/170

I just think that the scanlator have done a mistake... zombie gun sold 10,500,000 copies? It's too much! Even One Piece didn't got this far D: I guess it's 1,500,000 xD

I was about to head here for the same... Current One Piece Volumes have 3.2 million prints on the first run and sell about 2-2.5 million in the first week. 10.5 million for Zombie Gun is too much. I expect a translation error, since the second half about 830,000 copies and Hattori believing they still can win over Zombie Gun wouldn't make much sense...
