Bakuman by Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi

[Knifeshade]

BAWWW. Honestly, that was so abrupt. That's my first reaction, I'll read it again in a few days to let it fully soak in that Bakuman's ended. (old habits don't die easily, I was gonna make a 177 spoiler thread just now...)

This chapter at least cemented something for me; it reinforces what I thought this manga was always about: manga first, romance second.

Good Job Ohba and Obata making a unique manga about manga that we readers now know how hard it is for the mangaka/editor to make a manga.... The ending is not the best but not the worst it is just good I am still looking for more chapters like 10years after but still great Manga hoping Ohba and Obata will make another new unique Manga that will blow us away like Death Note ^^.

just think at some from Kodansha are spies in Shueisha and viceversa . They give early scans to lower the enemies sales. Maybe a joke, maybe a reality.There isn't a true other reason for any Sueisha's employee to risk their jobs for almost nothing. believe me , it is very simple to see who's the person who's sending the scans to scans teams. Why isn't Bakuman early scanned? Because is not a top Jump mainstream. It may be top but not a mainstream. First series : OP,Naruto,Bleach ; second series: Beelzebub , HxH and Toriko. Sometime, very rare, Bakuman in second(like in this week,I hope) .In rest - third set of series.

Thank you for clearing my doubts! I finally understand now.

I'm kinda dissapointed. I expected a lot more from final chapter.

[UnknownMugiwara]

Wow, I didn't expect it to be in this chapter..
But thank you Ohba and Obata for Bakuman! It is a good series (:

[SHINOBI-03]

Wait, that's it?! Not even a wedding or an actual conclusion? Hopefully there'll be something extra when the volumes are released.

Never the less, thank you Ohba and Obata for such an amazing and informative series. We hope to see you in a new project.

They can't end it just like that. I really want to see Mashiro and Azuki live together, their wedding and Ashirogi's next work (>_<).

Tell me this isn't real (´･ω･`).

This chapter at least cemented something for me; it reinforces what I thought this manga was always about: manga first, romance second.

Of course, Mashiro even said it straight to Azuki's face. This manga was never more about romance than manga, we were never given any reason to think that.

Anyway, yeah. It's over. Fucking hell, I don't even know what to feel anymore.

I just noticed something really awesome: the title's Dreams and Reality, the same title as chapter 1.

We just finally got to the reality part of it.
There will be manly tears shed over this.
Many.

Really nice ending, suits them very well.

Nakai was forgotten LOL

"Look forward to our next series" =)))))
Even though it's expected, reading a confirmation from them really makes me =)))))

Count me in in the dissappointed club... This chapter would be the perfect before-the-final chapter - but this being the final chapter... It leaves a kinda stale taste. Really hope there will be something extra in the volume release, a bonus chapter showing the Mashiro household life.

Added a poll, guys. Go nuts. Curious to see what the majority feel.

[Googlez_kun]

Still have tears in my eyes.

[SHINOBI-03]

And with this chapter, my chapter guide comes to an end. But it'll be completed 100% when the final volume is released in English.

Four years went by... and this was the first manga series I follow from the very first chapter. Every other ones were either finished or followed after their beginning by a long shot.

Great ending. Not a cop-out at all, I thought it was perfect and suited the duo's style of doing things and what they have been preaching all along - doing a manga on their OWN terms. This time, compared to Death Note, aside from many comedy chapters, I didn't feel like the series was prolonged just for being popular at all!

great conclusion and I'll read it again back-to-back when I have time.

[alphabeta]

One-shot. Just like with DN, we'll see a one-shot in a couple months.

That's all I can say for now.
