Man started this thread 2 years ago!!! Looks like maybe it's finally getting attention due to anime. About time people started taking notice.

Bakuman is easily my favorite of the weekly shounen series. This past chapter was pretty good. Although tagaki coming back felt like it resolved the whole conflict a little too easily.

Can't wait to see all of the various competing manga's in the love fest. Although I'm kind of curious if we'll ever see nagaki again. Poor guy's failure was probably easily one of the most depressing things in the entire series. I'd be nice to see him somehow redeem himself and make a come back.

I mean considering what happened with Iwaise who originally seemed like a throw away character, but the came back with avengence to become the closest thing this series has ever gotten to villain feel any obscure character is never out of the picture for good.
