Bakuman., the latest work by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, author and artist, respectively, of the big 2003-2006 manga hit Death Note, currently running in Weekly Shounen Jump with five volumes on the market is finally getting an anime of 25 episodes, scheduled to air fall 2010. The anime series will be airing on NHK, developed by the studio J.C.Staff, in less than a year from now.
Even though they’re fictional, I can’t help feel a little jealous of the main characters of Bakuman. (Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi) since because they live in Japan they’ve had lots of good opportunities for aspiring mangakas like me while I, being a year older than the guys in the manga… haven’t. I feel so old. *sob*
