clowdywings's review against another edition

The most compelling part about this would be the big question “Are the boys going to meet their goal and have their work made into an anime?” and that’s it. The art actually got worse than Death Note’s and the story is not the greatest. It’s not witty. It just flows decently well.
It’s not one of their greatest works. It’s mainly about the boys gaining momentum and excitement for creating manga while trying to deal with life and romance. The romance that was included was cheesy. I can see how they wanted it to be a major influencer on the boys’ manga but it didn’t fit.
The characters are nothing to be too amazed by. They seem like different versions of their older characters from Death Note. The girl and her mother looked very doll like... It’s creepy.
The biggest and most annoying part was the blatant sexism! Hated hated hated that! They really could have and should have removed that.
What this mainly did for me was giving me creative inspiration to draw. It gave me ideas of how to do certain paneling ideas. But all this was happening while I was reading the manga. I would be thinking up ways to do that and suddenly I’m 5 pages ahead of where I was and somehow I understand what’s happening without any context.
If these two authors collaborated on a horror manga, it would be more of a hit than this one. They did Death Note and that other manga series that was nearly Death Note, so I do know they can do horror. Maybe even suspense!

Really neat and fun manga about two friends trying to break into the manga business. There's some romance and family backstory that add layers to the story. I know nothing about the manga business and what happens behind the scenes, so that was fun to learn about. Great read!
