Bakuman?Complete Box Set: Volumes 1-20 with Premium

Perfect, so good !!!

Arrived in great condition and quality as a person who is VERY picky on the book looking perfect for my collection i was very happy when it arrived.

The best written story that always just keeps you reading and on the edge of your seat with suspense. Then the art that is highly detailed and fits perfectly, the story I could not recommend more.

No problems with this I loved it gave all the volumes including an small manga made inside the manga and a poster this is a need to buy if ur looking to collect it or trying to find other works made by the author of death note

All manga came in perfect condition, delivery was earlier than expected. Great series would recommend anyone to get it if you enjoy manga!

Bakuman might have been criticised for being sexist, however it tells a wonderful story of two mangaka wannabes who fight hard to achieve their dream. It is a magnificent blend of friendship,hardworking,sacrifice, working hard towards your dreams and platonic love. In the mix,it's a unique hindsight to how the manga editorials work,as well as the authors. It allows you to comprehend the art and the work behind better. Must read

This series comes from an acclaimed duo, and is a fantastic place to start for any budding manga artists. Deep in the cherry blossom tree that is the manga industrys history lies the Jump Corporation. This work although fictional has its lore firmly based in Jump ideals. You should read this series if you want to learn more about the manga industry in a fun way. If you like slice of life long term romantic drama, this is for you too. If you are here because you liked death note, bare in mind this is not fantasy.

This is a brilliant box set and kinda affordable for 20 volumes and this came very fast to

Ordered from Amazon itself for €100. Came in great condition. Ordered because it was so cheap, but the story is excellent and got me hooked.

Came in a good conversation

After their runaway success with Death Note, author Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata collaborated again to create this masterpiece. Bakuman follows the career of two middle-schoolers who partner up and aspire to become famous manga artists. What unfolds, over a period of ten years, is a blow-by-blow account of their rise to the top of the industry, replete with personal setbacks, rivalries with other creators, artistic differences with editors and publishers, and cancelled series along the way. I was dumbfounded at how the creators could take what sounds like such a mundane premise and turn it into such a riveting and compelling story. The manga was published in the same publication the fictional characters in the story work for (namely Weekly Shonen Jump), and features real editors who work for the magazine, which makes for a fun self-referential treatment of the manga industry, combining realism and deep insight with fanciful "what-if" arcs. The nature of the story also allows Obata to show off his ability to illustrate in a myriad different manga styles, with aplomb. The main take-away from the story, for me, was that if one wants to pursue one's dream job one has to be willing to make costly sacrifices time and again, because in the end the satisfaction of doing the work will have to be its own reward. Also, that there is no such thing as a "self-made man", as the success the characters enjoy comes as the result of a balance of an insane work ethic, talent, luck and support from a myriad people, all working together at the right time. The box set is beautifully designed, and ergonomically sound, making for a great user experience. Spaces are left between the top of the books and the box to make them easy to take out; the volumes fit together snugly, but not too tightly to put them back easily; and the box is sturdy with a plastic handle on top, making it easy to transport. As with other Viz Media box sets the artwork on the spines doesn't quite line up, making the set look a little untidy. The artwork, reading from right to left (as in the original language), is reproduced in surprisingly crisp and clear quality (the paper looks a little cheap), and each chapter concludes with a bonus page, showing off one storyboard from each of the contributors for one of the spreads in the chapter. The translation work is excellent - I have to commend Viz for the attention to detail here - making the reading of the text in the manga as pleasurable as the artwork. The box set contains all 176 chapters of the series in 20 volumes (at roughly 200 pages each), plus a double-sided colour poster and a one-shot of Otter No. 11, one of the fictional series featured in Bakuman (it is published as the work of Kazuya Hiramaru, the creator of Otter No. 11 in the manga). I was very pleased to get this box set for the price I did, and even though I had read the series before I couldn't put the books down until I had read the whole thing again.

This is an incredible lesser known series. the world building and character development are excellent. the love romance is very innocent and very childish. It doesnt negatively impact the story though. These manga creators are amazing. One of the best manga and anime series of all time.

A pesar de que tuve problemas con la entrega, este paquete es lo mejor que he comprado en estos últimos años. Lo voy a atesorar el resto de mi vida.
