Moritaka Mashiro is a typical teenager: bored with life and unsure about his future. He spends his free time drawing, inspired by his mangaka uncle, who had only a single successful series before his death. One day while sitting bored in class, he sketches a picture of his crush, Miho Azuki, and forgets his notebook in the classroom. The notebook is found by Akito Takagi, who proposes that he and Mashiro become mangaka themselves, with Mashiro using his impressive artistic skills and Takagi writing the plots.As luck would have it, Mashiro finds out that Miho wants to be a voice actress, and he asks her to voice the main heroine of his and Takagi's manga once it becomes a successful anime. Caught up in the moment, he goes on to propose to her! Much to everyone's surprise, she agrees to marry him, but only once they have both achieved their dreams. The story thus follows the mangaka duo's rise to fame from their first attempts in middle-school to their mid-twenties, as well as a colorful gallery of rival authors in the Jump.Created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, the creators of Death Note and themselves an artist/writer combo. The manga ran from August 2008 to April 2012 with 176 chapters, amounting to 20 Volumes of material. It is licensed for English release by Viz Media under their Shonen Jump imprint.An anime adaptation began airing on NHK on October 2, 2010. Also a second anime has begun airing on October 1, 2011. The third and final season began on October 6, 2012 and ended on March 30, 2013. It was announced in the spring of 2014 that production has started on a live-action adaptation, which was released in 2015.Compare it with Shirobako. Both offer a stylized 'inside looks' at the world of Manga and Anime creation. Ah... and Mm... Are All She Says is specifically about the eromanga industry.Not to be confused with Bakugan or Batman. Or Pac-Man.

The treatment of the in-universe Fan Dumb of Azuki and Mashiro is also a take that to idiotic fans who send hate mail and death threats because the object of their fandom has a significant other. In particular, Fukuda gives a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the fans.

Creator Breakdown: An In-Universe example. Takagi starts subconsciously writing PCP to be less crime focused after seeing the news report about the PCP imitator. Also Ryu Shizuka writing his manga, "True Human" to be more about girls when he starts going to cabaret clubs. When he learns how girls act around him when they're not being paid, he decides to show false love. Nanamine has a massive one during What You Need's downward spiral in the rankings.

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_11bc87bc
comment
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Just about every one of Ashirogi Muto's works have featured a heroine similar to Azuki. See also Expy below. Justified in two ways: 1) It's practically tradition (and referenced in Bakuman directly) for mangaka to feature their idea of a perfect woman as a recurring character in their works. Leiji Matsumoto did this with tall willowy blondes with long hair, for example. 2) The Azuki-clones are made deliberately in an attempt to make sure Azuki gets the voiceacting role if the story gets an anime made. Compared to the other characters, Nanamine is more slender, more angular, and has a long, graceful neck. Rather like Mamoru Miyano, no? In the case of Editor-in-Chief Sasaki, his appearance is based on the real Shonen Jump Editor-in-Chief Sasaki Hisashi.

Heroic BSoD: Takagi and Mashiro collapse, drained of energy, when their manga gets canceled. Mashiro has been in an off-and-on one since finding out that PCP won't get an anime and that while Ashirogi Muto excels at planning, they can't necessarily write a manga intended to get an anime. Azuki has one when her manager tells her that she should do a photo book in order to advance her career, claiming that she's only popular because of her appearance rather than her talent. Iwase drops into one in Chapter 140. Her writing is slipping, her editor is more concerned with Crow's ending, and she had the misfortune of walking past some fans badmouthing her series. She gets better.

Tempting Fate: Iwase originally dismisses Takagi because he states that he wants to pursue his dream of being a mangaka, arguing that he will be wasting his life if he does. When she is reintroduced to the story, it is as a manga writer, just like Takagi. Well, not really. She's just a writer, period. As in, an up-and-coming novelist. It's only a bit later that Iwase branches out into manga.

Adaptation Expansion: The anime adds and rearranges scenes to fill time and add extra dimension and depth to both characters and plot details, giving it a unique feel that's separate from the manga.

Failure Is the Only Option
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: Mashiro and Takagi are trying to get an anime for their manga. Their first manga, Detective Trap gets cancelled. Their second, Tanto, is difficult for Takagi to write and not nearly popular enough to get an anime. Their third, Perfect Crime Party, encounters opposition from parents that prevents it from getting sponsors. And this is not counting the many one-shots or other pieces they've submitted that did not even place in the contests, much less get serialization. Then again, it is highlighted at several points that it is taking longer than Mashiro had originally thought, and he is gradually coming to terms with this. This is ultimately subverted when Reversi gets an anime and Miho gets the role of the female lead.

comment
Funny Background Event: In Episode 11 of the Anime, the Teacher and one of the students (the teacher had occasionally been shown calling the student's name for attendance and getting a variety of amusing responses) have a very funny farewell conversation involving thank yous, goodbyes, manly tears, telling the student not to cry in public because it isn't manly, and the student telling the teacher how much he'll miss him. Meanwhile, Saiko and Miho are having a very meaningful goodbye/conversation, silently, by writing responses just as they've been doing the whole year. As Mashiro is standing near Azuki's house, trying to talk with her on the day of their graduation, two girls from their school pass by. Half an hour later, after he gets the courage to ask how long she'll wait for him, the girls pass by again and laugh at how Mashiro and Azuki are still there.

Nanamine, who's perhaps the closest thing the series has to an outright villain. He seems like an affable young man and a fan of the main characters, but he privately reveals a cynical plan to get to the top of Jump by using a manga that's essentially written by committee. He considers his online contributors to be a means to an end, and doesn't even care about the impact his move will have on his editor. When his scheme inevitably comes crumbling down, Nanamine gets a well-deserved dose of humiliation, but he doesn't learn his lesson. He later tries a modified version of his scheme with out of work manga artists, whom he cuts loose once they're no longer useful. When the plan fails and results in him being banned from working for Jump, not many people feel sorry for him.

There's also Ishizawa. An arrogant little bastard from junior high who can draw nothing but moe and ecchi and fancies himself as a great artist. He belittles Mashiro's artwork when their first submission to Jump doesn't make it to publishing, and goes so far as to suggest that Aoki do erotic poses for him under the assumption of coaching her on panty shots. He gets his comeuppance in both cases. And finally, he's the one who spreads word around the Internet about Miho and Mashiro's relationship, sending the basement-dwelling lifeless fanboys into an outrage.

When Mashiro responds to Fukuda's statement that Nizuma won't teach him anything by saying he just wants to watch, Fukuda, who is only a few years older than Mashiro and has spent much of the previous scene disrespecting the much older Nakai, says "Hmph. I don't get kids these days. What a brat." Nakai then thinks "You're still young, too, and you're the biggest brat of all, asshole."

By the end of Chapter 126, Nanamine has lost all his online contributors, and his best assistant, Nakai, unwittingly brought about his downfall. He's willing to give up hope in Chapter 127 until his editor reminds him of his desire to win, and then resolves to do so with a different method.

Analogy Backfire

comment
Analogy Backfire: After being hospitalized from overworking and malnutrition, Mashiro refuses to go on hiatus or stop drawing. He then makes the comparison to feeling like Joe Yabuki heading for his final round in the ring. Considering that he had resolved to "risk his life for manga", after his father reminds him of his liking the series, and thought that Joe Yabuki died in an admirable way, it's entirely possible he was completely aware of what he was saying. Fukuda once calls himself the "Romeo of Hiroshima" when saying that he should know more about romance than the people who placed ahead of him with their romance one-shots. Then again, the winner, Aoki, had never been on a date, perhaps making it a moot point.

Bland-Name Product: In the anime Takagi and Mashiro buy and aim for "Jack" magazine instead of Jump, which is published by Yueisha rather than Shueisha. "NEXT" seems to be the anime counterpart to Akamaru Jump. Averted, however, when several manga series and their authors are referenced by name. Not that it's ever stopped Gintama from referencing Jump in the anime...

Mistaken for Cheating

Takagi doesn't tell Miyoshi about his seeing Aoki for ideas on his manga, and meeting Iwase while he's there, claiming that she'll get jealous if he goes to other women for help. As a result, when she finds Iwase's book, with a letter to him in it, while cleaning, she assumes he's cheating on her.

Strange Minds Think Alike: Mashiro and Takagi end up coming up with the exact same idea on the exact same day, without each other knowing. Mashiro, Takagi, Eiji and Hattori all come to the conclusion that PCP's art needs to improve to compete with Crow and +Natural. Chapter 107: Mashiro, Eiji, Aoki and Iwase all decide to do a romance for their respective oneshots. Mashiro and Takagi both have the same reaction to the news of the second PCP copycat; make a story about PCP encountering a copycat. They point out that their teamwork and trust in one another has improved over the years. Mashiro and Takagi wonder if Classroom of Truth ripped off The Two Earths, but realize that since The Two Earths was not a finalist and was never published, this cannot be possible.

Deconstructor Fleet: "Classroom of Truth" defies and picks apart the standard tropes of shonen manga, including hard work and The Power of Friendship, by showing that everyone, including possibly the main character, is selfish at heart. Decon-Recon Switch: Takagi suggests that one way of looking at the manga is a suggestion that cooperation is, in fact, necessary, noting that the selfish members of the class were the first to be eliminated.

Shipper on Deck: Niizuma for Mashiro and Azuki...or at least he doesn't want anything to interfere with their relationship and their dream by helping to make sure that Azuki won't be chosen for the Natural anime's main heroine. In Chapter 114, Mashiro, Takagi, Miyoshi, and Fukuda ship Hiramaru/Aoki as they cheer him on to ask her out. Takagi, from almost the beginning, is a strong proponent for Mashiro and Azuki getting together. Kaya has a similar attitude.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Discussed. When Reversi starts its run by beating Zombie*Gun for three weeks straight, Eiji decides to change his manga's villain for a stronger one, and it works. This also makes Ashirogi Muto realize that, since the crux of Reversi's plot is the conflict between two protagonists who are archenemies from the onset, recovery will be an uphill battle.

Batman Gambit: Hattori devises a cunning plan to both raise Jump's sales and improve the work of several mangaka. The whole thing hinges on making Eiji the first artist to have two series running at the same time in Jump, which creates/intensifies rivalries between several characters. It works well, even inspiring mangaka who weren't specifically targeted to raise their game. Later, Nanamine plots a way to go straight to the top of Shonen Jump via the use of the internet and some clever acting. It works, but he can't sustain the quality and thus popularity of his series. And still later, Nanamine's at it again, improving it somewhat by removing the issues with the consultants being unpaid and anonymous. Once his presence is made known, however, people react appropriately.

Character Development
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Most notable in the main character. He wasn't exactly a happy camper at the very beginning, (pining for his crush, still hurt by his beloved uncle's death, feels he can't pursue his love of manga) but proposing to Azuki was probably when his mood began to visibly change for the better. More recently, he becomes considerably more patient and realistic about when he can expect to get an anime to fulfill his promise. Also most notable in the Official Couple as they start moving from a romanticized notion of their relationship to a far more reasonable one. Aoki wasn't initially set up as an appealing character, but over time she is shown to be a warm, loving woman on the inside. Do you know any real life women who can not just be civil with the girlfriend of the guy they like, but so genuinely kind and tender-hearted? Miura seems to have learned to not have his personal tastes influence his editorial decisions so much, and to give the writers more creative control over their series. Nizuma Eiji originally came across as a spastic Jerkass, completely full of himself and his status as a "Prodigy Genius". Over the course of the story, he's had several instances where he's learned that he can still improve further and learn about manga from those around him. He absorbs these lessons with humility and gratitude. Not so much a jerkass, the only time we ever get this is when we see the main characters comment on his letter. When we actually meet him, we find out that he's not arrogant at all, just very eccentric. The "arrogance" that he puts up is closer to a facade to get others going. He's not out to show that his work is better, he wants to encourage others to beat him so that he could have fun reading their work. Even Iwase's getting hers. She's slowing (very slowly, admittedly) warming up to Miura and getting over her Yandere-ness, though her rivalry is still as intense as ever.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome After Takagi punches Ishizawa for insulting Mashiro, he gets suspended and there is some concern about it going on his record. Takagi and Mashiro are forced to run away after ripping up the copies of Money and Intelligence and throwing them into the river, because doing so is littering. Subverted when Kosugi punches Nanamine. The victim plans on reporting and suing the puncher, resulting in him getting arrested for battery and losing his job, but decides against it because it would only make him more of a laughingstock than he already is. Few are happy to hear about Mashiro and Azuki's relationship, since they're a famous manga artist and voice actress, respectively, and it makes it difficult for Azuki to get the role. Fukuda calling out those who are raising an uproar over it, while well-deserved, only ends up fanning the flames.

Woman Scorned: Iwase, as of the end of chapter 88, with the trope directly invoked by narraration. She's been passed over by Takagi AND Hattori now, and may become a direct antagonist to both of them as a result. She even accuses Miura of sexual harrassment over a relatively minor comment, ignoring her own out-and-out harrassment and pursuit of Hattori during previous meetings.

Stupidity Is the Only Option: Justified! While Mashiro and Takagi initially refuse to compete with Nanamine on the same story to let him crash and burn, by the next chapter they're convinced to go through with it. However, rather than simply being forced to give Nanamine a chance just because the plot says so, they're doing it to crush him in a direct competition and prove that Nanamine's way of doing things is wrong; making an effective point is more important than simply letting Nanamine drown. It succeeds and Nanamine does even worse on that chapter.

Manipulative Bastard: Yoshida, Hiramaru's editor. Played for Laughs, of course. If it wasn't made abundantly clear before, he actually complains in chapter 94 that he was running out of ways to manipulate Hiramaru. In Chapter 101, Hiramaru himself acknowledges that he's being manipulated, and tells Yoshida he needs to do a better job than he is doing at manipulating him. And in Chapter 134, Yoshida starts roping Nakai in and playing him off against Hiramaru. As of his introduction, Nanamine, who posts his chapter of "The Classroom of Truth" online when it doesn't get an award, causing a furor online and getting himself called down to the Jump main office, where he shows the editor in chief his next work. He then blackmails Kosugi into going along with him him by threatening to go elsewhere.

Spoiler Title: Averted. Most of the times when a chapter resolves a cliffhanger, the title is not obvious enough to tell what happens, but is usually relevant to what is going on. In Chapter 53, "18 and 40," Detective Trap gets canceled, thwarting Mashiro's hope of getting an anime by 18, and getting married. At the end of the chapter, he tells Azuki the news and she tells him to take his time and try again, and jokingly says she would prefer to get married by 40. Similarly, in Chapter 99, "Tears of Disappointment and Tears of Joy," Iwase cries the former after PCP defeats her +Natural, and Mashiro and Takagi cry the latter after passing the editor in chief's test to stay in the magazine.

Butt-Monkey: Hiramaru, who often gets tricked by his editor (buying a Porsche so that he'll have to work hard to pay off the taxes) and has no luck in winning Aoki's heart (he planned to give Aoki a ride in his Porsche and give her the necklace he kept in the glove compartment, but the car got towed when he parked it illegally). Nakai more so. He hasn't been able to get beyond being an assistant since starting as a mangaka, and Fukuda tactlessly notes that Yujiro thinks he's only good for being an assistant. You have to feel sorry for Kosugi, Nanamine's editor. Facing the usual pressure to succeed, he picks up a seemingly promising rookie, but essentially gets blackmailed into going along with Nanamine's unethical scheme and told that his opinion has no more weight than any of Nanamine's individual contributors. Takagi, while loath to snitch on Nanamine, decides to tell Hattori after learning about how much Kosugi is suffering. Arai, a minor mangaka, typically comes up whenever one of his series gets cancelled to make way for another character's, and his editor once complains about him being on his third cancellation. His contract ends up not getting renewed late in the story, leaving him out of a job.

comment
No Hugging, No Kissing: Relationships in the series are very pure and light hearted, the time spent on romance is likely to explore the tight bonds between the couples instead of physical intimacy, case in point being Akito and Kaya, they marry and the narration pretty much implies that they already went through all phases of physical intimacynote saying things they will "work harder" to make children, but not much beyond cuddling is shown. While Mashiro and Azuki's long-distance and minimal contact relationship is presented as unusual in-universe, the others are considered to be more "normal" relationships.

Stopped Reading Too Soon: Both the protagonists stop reading only a few pages into the book Iwase gave Takagi, Takagi because he doesn't like the genre she wrote in, and Mashiro because it was too "deep" for him. Thus they both miss the message she inserted between pages about halfway through the book.

Wham Line: Chapter 100: "PCP isn't going to get an anime". Chapter 76: "I WANT TO QUIT TANTO!" Chapter 46: Azuki admits that she has been in love with Mashiro for eight years. A subtle one happens in Chapter 122. It's not that surprising on its own, but when you realize that it's a Call-Back to Nakai describing his skills, you realize who Nanamine's "super-assistant" is, even if you can't see him until the next chapter. Chapter 150: "Well, you could say it's my last act of selfishness as editor in chief" Chapter 164: "Congratulations. On Tuesday, September 1st at 4, the anime for REVERSI will start."

Smug Snake: Moriya is quite overconfident in his knowledge of art and looks down on Shiratori. When the name he submits is deemed unpublishable no matter how much he edits it while Shiratori's name is considered a good idea that becomes worthy of serialization with Takagi's help, his facial expression is priceless. Nanamine establishes himself as this fairly quickly. Yamahisa is as smug as he is sleazy. He and Moriya do level out over time, though (the latter even supporting Shun's desire to become a mangaka when his mother tries to talk him out of it in the presence of the whole Ashirogi studio crew, and later accepting Ogawa as a team leader), unlike Nanamine. There's also Ishizawa. An arrogant little bastard from junior high who can draw nothing but moe and ecchi and fancies himself as a great artist. He belittles Mashiro's artwork when their first submission to Jump doesn't make it to publishing, and goes so far as to suggest that Aoki do erotic poses for him under the assumption of coaching her on panty shots. He gets his comeuppance in both cases. And finally, he's the one who spreads word around the Internet about Miho and Mashiro's relationship, sending the basement-dwelling lifeless fanboys into an outrage.

comment
Writing for the Trade: An In-Universe version occurs once the main protagonists begin work on their final, tightly-plotted manga. While it has the advantage of offering better overall storytelling, it also ensures that they can't really change the course of the story too much to fit different needs. While it results in steady popularity throughout, it also has to be much shorter than is normal, due to its density and fast pace.

Obliviously Evil: Subverted with Nanamine's group. They did know that helping him come up with his stories was not a practice a "proper" manga artist would use, but they didn't know that they were helping such a bastard and are rather disgusted when his true nature is revealed. Of course, their motivations varied, and it's implied that by the time there were secret meetings between the nine remaining contributors (out of the original 50), all of those serious about helping had given up and left.

Bookends: Toward the end of Chapter 1, Mashiro proposes to Azuki in front of her house. Fast forward to the last few pages of the last chapter. Mashiro drives Azuki (from the completely separate house she had been living in) to her old one, all to propose again in the same way, almost word for word. (In the English translation, the only change is the omission of a single word - "when" - which changes his proposal from the statement of a goal to achieve to a statement that it has been achieved.) To further cement this, chapters 1 and 176 have the same title - "Dreams and Reality".

Invisible Parents: Moritaka's father is only shown talking to him on the phone at the end of the third chapter, and Moritaka notes that for much of his childhood, he asked his mother for something and she then asked his father, resulting in them having few conversations.

Lucky Charms Title: Downplayed. The actual title of the manga has this little circle 。at the end. Explanation  That circle is actally a kuten, the Japanese full stop, which looks slightly wider than a regular full stop because of the wider character spacing kanji uses compared to the Latin script. And it looks "hollowed out" so it can be written with a brush in one stroke.

Adaptation Distillation: The Bakuman anime removes much of the droning banter of the manga in the process of paper-to-animation, giving the show a much more breezy and fast-paced style (examples include Akito's explanation of what makes Miho smart and both Mashiro and Akito dissecting what they like and don't like about manga).

Spit Take: Let's hope his manuscripts survived. Even earlier on in Volume 1 when Takagi suggests that they go to meet with an editor, and Mashiro responds that it isn't quite that simple. Fukuda has developed a character flaw of spraying ramen noodles from his mouth and nose. They can get pretty intense Takagi does one when Miyoshi first mentions getting married to him. Mashiro does one again when Takagi suggests he initially thought Nanamine had a good idea, but then Takagi clarifies that it only seemed that way on paper, and then elaborates that upon further analysis, he realizes that it could not have lasted in the long term.

True Art Is Incomprehensible

In a smaller scale, Shiratori and Moriya can be seen as this too. While Shiratori is happy to make stories to his heart's content, he knows that manga is a market, so one needs to have the right mindset to take it like that, while Moriya considers manga a legitimate art form in and of itself, which makes it difficult for him to find an editor that will serialize him due to his work unintentionally veering into True Art Is Incomprehensible.

Cannot Spit It Out: The partnership between Mashiro and Takagi almost dissolves early on as a result of Takagi not mentioning that he's working on a mystery storyboard, thinking that he's hung up on doing battle manga. Nobuhiro Mashiro and Miyuki Haruno both loved each other, but never got together because they never told each other. Kaya's father notes that Moritaka and Miho will have better chances because they told each other their feelings.

Villain Has a Point
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_723be11b
comment
Villain Has a Point: As obnoxious as Nanamine is, when Mashiro tells him that the only way to make manga is by working with an editor and he says there are other ways, it's hard not to concede that he has a point. It's acknowledged in series that there are manga produced without editors, such as doujinshi. Some artists in the series seem to work perfectly well without editors (such as Nizuma, who is never shown getting meaningful feedback or help from Yujiro and doesn't even show Yujiro his storyboards or have meetings with him until Fukuda insists. At one point Yujiro even admits that he can't think of any advice or help to give Nizuma). Some editors in the series weren't actually helpful. The most noticeable one was Miura, who repeatedly advised Takahama and Ashirogi to submit half-baked works which were rejected (such as when he had them submit Tanto the first time; he said that it would be accepted as long as Ashirogi completed three chapters but the work wasn't picked up). Miura also damaged Takahama's first work by insisting on add gag themes which Takahama wasn't good at, resulting in the work getting quickly canceled. And when Iwase ran into trouble following the conclusion of the +Natural anime, Miura was so distracted by other things that he was totally useless and gave no help. Given that, it's hard not to wonder if they might have been better served by getting advice from friends or others instead of Miura. It's also noted that Nanamine's company (which eschewed the editorial department) was genuinely capable of producing really good manga. All of Nanamine's submissions except for two (Yanagi's fantasy one-shot and Nanamine's 'Beauty and the Billionaire' one-shot) beat Ashirogi in the rankings.

Agree to Disagree: Mashiro and Takagi, regarding whether older artists should make a comeback; Mashiro thinks so, while Takagi believes that they would take spots from younger artists. They both decide to drop the argument, realizing that arguing about it won't get them anywhere, and this may be in part because Takagi realizes how personal this issue is to Mashiro, whose uncle wanted to re-establish himself in Jump.

Arc Words

comment
Arc Words: "A manga has to be interesting" is the main philosophy of the editorial department and is brought up frequently. Bakuman shows mangakas test a lot of various writing and art elements, but the core point is making it appealing to the readers. If you're not in the top of the magazine's rankings, you are generally not allowed to speak up, but if an editor thinks your writing could intriguing you're allowed to experiment. This gets challenged with Nanamine, who makes two schemes trying to prove Jump's higher-ups don't care about their writers and what they do as long as the magazine sells.

Darkhorse Victory: When the Editor-In-Chief makes a deal with Nanamine that his next one-shot has to make it into the top 3 or he'll never be allowed to work in Jump again, Team Fukuda and Takahama start working to shut him out.

The Comically Serious: Eventually the idea of "serious comedy" is brought up, which is basically this trope applied to an entire series, taking a strange and silly premise and playing it completely straight. Otter #11 is brought up as an example (everyone sees it as a comedy when Hiramaru doesn't intend it to be), and Ashirogi Muto eventually tries to go the same route with PCP.

Real Life Writes the Plot: In-universe. After meeting with Aoki and her three female assistants, noticing that they don't pay attention to him like the girls in clubs do, and realizing that the girls in the clubs socialize with him because they're getting paid, Shizuka decides to incorporate false female love into his manga. Before this, around the time he had started going to clubs, the story had veered toward the regular human girls having Happiness in Slavery, to its detriment; The manga eventually regains its top ten status. Takagi decides to write a story about PCP defeating a copycat in reaction to the PCP copycat in real life.

The Faceless: Hiramaru's editor, Yoshida. Whenever he's around Hiramaru, he's either shown from behind, or with his face covered by a word balloon. Strangely enough, whenever he's not around Hiramaru, his face is shown like normal. This may reflect how Hiramaru views him as an editor who won't let him take a break, or it can be seen as an aspect of Yoshida's personality that surfaces whenever he interacts with Hiramaru. This trope is falling out of use with Yoshida, however, as Hiramaru becomes (somewhat) closer to him, which ties into the above.

Celebrity Paradox: The only reason why Shonen Jack isn't called Shonen Jump in the anime is that in real life Bakuman is published in Shonen Jump. Otherwise, it's clear that it's Shonen Jump, we even see it's covers with Shonen Jump characters on them.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Mashiro and Takagi declare that their manga, having been the results of persistence and hard work, will not lose to one like Nanamine's that is patched together from other people's ideas. In a Show Within a Show case, Akechi denouncing the PCP copycats. Kosugi tells Nanamine his Fatal Flaw; if he has no empathy for others, he can't write believable characters.

Tsundere: Aoki was Type A going "The Cold Shoulder" route. She just seemed like a Jerkass at first, but that's because she didn't have much page time for characterization. The character type itself is brought up here Oh, Iwase. It might be just a small glimmer of a dere side, but you aren't fooling anyone. Including Miura

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: When Detective Trap gets canceled, the three assistants are out of work. Takahama gets serialized around that time and Kato becomes his assistant, which makes them semi-regular characters, but it is never shown what Ogawa does, although it is noted that as he has a wife and a kid, it's especially unfortunate for him. Ashirogi Muto plan on hiring him back for their newest series, Reversi. It's mentioned he has a third kid now. And he manages to help put out some chapters on time by bringing in outside help to the overworked studio crew.

Didn't Think This Through: Takagi doesn't tell Miyoshi about his seeing Aoki for ideas on his manga, and meeting Iwase while he's there, claiming that she'll get jealous if he goes to other women for help. As a result, when she finds Iwase's book, with a letter to him in it, while cleaning, she assumes he's cheating on her. Nakai tries to salvage the situation with Nanamine's manga by telling his contributors that the ranking has fallen to 16th and they need to work hard to reverse it. The few left over then desert Nanamine after knowing for certain that he lied, and he gets fired for this.

Wham Episode
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Chapter 53, the duo's manga, Detective Trap, ends up getting cancelled. Chapter 86: "No" To be more specific: After the duo quit Tanto (their second manga), feeling it wasn't right for them, they managed to convince the head editor to give them three chances to make a better manga. The first two strike out despite experimenting and the third is their last chance. Using all the experience they gained so far, they feel the third one will get in. Despite the editors agreeing it's a good read, the head editor feels it won't be mainstream enough and decides to put it to a vote among the editors. The votes come to a tie with his being the final say... and the above is his response in that chapter. Three editors ultimately change their minds, unwilling to cancel a series on this standard or by this narrow a margin, but it was still quite shocking at the time. Eiji and Akina set up a crossover between Crow and + Natural, two of the most popular series in Jump. Chapter 130. Someone breaks into a bank, re-enacting a prank mentioned in PCP, and gets on the news as a result.. Chapter 166 Word of Azuki's relationship with Mashiro gets out, resulting in a scandal and threatening her chances of getting the Naho role.

Laser-Guided Karma: Hattori introduces Iwase to the manga industry, connects her with an extremely skilled artist, and does all he can to set her up for success and as a worthy rival to Takagi. Iwase responds by sexually harassing him at several meetings and refusing to hear him when he says he isn't interested. When Hattori tells his bosses, the decision is made to reassign Iwase to another editor, and she gets Miura (who turns out to be completely useless).

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The new detective manga added during Mashiro's hospitalization plays a role in Detective Trap getting canceled. It leaves a terrible taste in the reader's mouth when, much later on, said manga's author is reintroduced as part of Nanamine's manga-making enterprise. Kato's friend, rookie seiyu Ririka Kitami, by posting about Mashiro and Azuki's relationship on their blog, ends up causing the two quite a bit of trouble without any ill intentions. If it's any consolation, she doesn't mention their names on her post, but it stays up long enough for someone who's known about them to put two and two together and start the shitstorm.

Creator Recovery: In-universe example: Ryu Shizuka writes dystopian fiction, but after his editor takes him to a cabaret where he talks to women for the first time, his main character slowly develops into a guy who spends most of his time with a harem of hot women. After the editor shows him the women were only nice to him because they got paid, Shizuka becomes disillusioned again and continues writing about how all Humans Are Bastards (even women).

Foreshadowing: Yoshida expresses some concern about how Moral Guardians will view PCP's "perfect crimes" during the serialization meeting. This comes up again as the reason PCP won't qualify for sponsors for an anime. Takagi points out that Nakai "looks like a stalker" while continuing to draw outside Aoki's apartment. While this initially seems to present him as a Determinator, in light of his demanding that Aoki become his girlfriend in exchange for him drawing for her, it goes to show that Nakai doesn't really respect her wishes.

This Is Reality: "This isn't a manga, so what are the chances..."note Is kind of a retroactive case of Tempting Fate. For context: who said this was Miyoshi, and she was talking about Takagi and Aoki meeting at the zoo by chance twice - first time is when he sees Iwase again, setting off the misunderstanding that nearly ruins their relationship and almost drags Mashiro and Azuki's along with it to boot; and the second is when he asks to meet Miyoshi so they can make up and the first thing she sees is Aoki hugging him.

Dramatically Missing the Point
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_9e9203e1
comment
Dramatically Missing the Point: During the Fukuda Rampage chapter, after punching Nakai, Fukuda chastises him for letting himself get so sloppy and forsaking his rivalry pact with the others. Nakai responds by whining about how he never had a girl and the others should stay out of his lovelife, despite Fukuda having just told him he didn't care about it as long as he kept his promise to be a great mangaka. In the "PCP Copycat Arc," the coypcats, as well as the Moral Guardians complaining about it, miss that PCP, in the series, explicitly said that breaking into a bank vault and leaving a note behind is not acceptable, since it would cause the security company's reputation to suffer; they don't do pranks that cause problems for others.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: (X) And (X), commonly working off a pair of concepts ("Dreams and Reality") or two separate events in the chapter ("Feast and Graduation" begins with Mashiro and Takagi eating dinner out with Hattori, and ends with their graduation from middle school). Maybe a reference to that fact the protagonists work as a pair, maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

Nakai from time to time, such as when he realizes that he can't afford to pay his assistants during the boycott, and when he sees Aoki with Hiramaru. Hiramaru has this fairly often, such as when his plans to woo Aoki fail, and when Otter 11 gets canceled. Mashiro when he wakes up from oversleeping, about to be late for school, without having made any significant progress on drawing the manga.

Loners Are Freaks: Shizuka. To a terrifying degree - he hasn't done anything as of this writing, but he looks on the verge of snapping explosively. And then in chapter 93, we see him sloppy drunk in an alley with a mannequin. In his final appearance, he's just as disturbingly cheerful, even after True Human is canceled.

Everyone Has Standards: Becomes a plot point in and out of universe. Perfect Crime Party enjoy doing harmless pranks, but in an early chapter, one member vetoes a plan to break into a vault, taking nothing and leaving only a message behind, because the security company's reputation would suffer. Unfortunately, a group of PCP copycats miss the point and copy that "perfect crime", and the Moral Guardians also fail to pick up on this. Takagi, after several weeks of trying to think of good stories that won't seem to promote crimes, decides to write a story in which Akechi, The Rival to PCP, goes after a PCP copycat and gives him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, saying he knew it could not be PCP who was stealing the textbooks because PCP would not cause trouble for others. During the serialization meeting for Perfect Crime Party, the editors are told that a "yes" vote for PCP must be made if they think it can compete with Nizuma's work, and that if it doesn't get in, Ashirogi Muto won't be able to write for Jump again. PCP initially has four "no" votes and three "yes" votes, but Onishi, who'd previously (albeit hesitantly) suggested that "There are a number of reasons (PCP) probably couldn't win" against Nizuma, changes his vote to "yes," since he believes Jump should take care of its artists, and it doesn't make sense to let Ashirogi go. Heishi then follows suit, agreeing with Onishi, and saying that the readers should be the ones who should decide.

Take That!
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Do the creators make it clear enough that they hate manga that has virtually nothing but cutesy moe blobs? And that they gleefully imply that the artists of said manga can't really draw anything else? And yet they seem to have liked To Love Ru (by way of having Fukuda admit that he liked it but couldn't send in surveys without people finding out about him voting for it because of its "ecchi" elements), which isn't too much better. Weird. Their attitude towards Jump SQ isn't that warm either. And Fukuzawa Yukichi isn't spared. See this: In-universe case with PCP. After learning about the break-in, Akito writes a story in which PCP meets some copycats. Their rival Akechi catches them in the act, and tells them that they're not up to PCP's standards, as PCP wouldn't make a nuisance of itself. An interesting example to fans of Death Note: When Mashiro and Takagi start attending college, they mention how good it is for them to have Miyoshi hang out with them due to how they'd appear to be a couple if they didn't have a girl with them. In other words, Ohba and Obata are quite aware of the gay subtext made between Light and L when they start attending To-Oh Uni together, and their apparent closeness. Yes indeed, the fans were rumbled. The treatment of the in-universe Fan Dumb of Azuki and Mashiro is also a take that to idiotic fans who send hate mail and death threats because the object of their fandom has a significant other. In particular, Fukuda gives a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the fans. The case of Reversi, where Ashirogi wants to make it a short, impactful series but the editor-in-chief wants them to drag it out, is a thinly-veiled reference to what happened to Death Note (who was initially supposed to end with L's death). Contrary to Death Note, though, Reversi does get the ending the authors wished.

Hypocritical Humor: It's constantly said that "A dark, mature series will never do well in Shonen Jump!" and "Cult hits won't be popular enough to make an anime out of." Then think about what other series the creators of Bakuman did. More of the meta-hypocrisy: Takagi once comes to the conclusion that a good mangaka is someone who can make boring everyday routine look interesting. Mashiro thinks he's talking bullshit. He's been mopping the floor for three pages. When Mashiro responds to Fukuda's statement that Nizuma won't teach him anything by saying he just wants to watch, Fukuda, who is only a few years older than Mashiro and has spent much of the previous scene disrespecting the much older Nakai, says "Hmph. I don't get kids these days. What a brat." Nakai then thinks "You're still young, too, and you're the biggest brat of all, asshole."

Love Triangle: Averted as Takagi shuts down the love triangle between him, Miyoshi and Iwase as soon as he's aware of it, remarking how stupid the whole situation actually is. He only needs to bring up his desire to be a mangaka, which turns Iwase off him after she proves to be dismissive of his pursuit. Which in itself might be a Take That! to any series past or present that would suck this kind of plot point dry. As of Chapter 61, a double-triangle shows definite signs of life between Miyoshi, Takagi, Aoki and Nakai. And just when the reader starts thinking 'Takagi, please, PLEASE put an end to this idiocy' he goes and does exactly that, again. In the most brilliant way possible.

Pandering to the Base: invokedAshirogi attempts this after reading a bunch of fan letters, and the result is shit. Their editor justifies this by saying it supposed to be their story, not the fans, and it's also indicated that the ones who write fan letters are not necessarily representative of the majority of the readers. Nanamine's style of editing and creative process could be an even bigger Take That! or Deconstruction of fan-pandering. His manga's ratings drop lower and lower because of taking too many suggestions from his select fan-pool, to the point it becomes a cluttered mess and eventually gets ten-weeked. This is later revealed to be the result of many of the contributors being anonymous and unpaid, and while it is not difficult to get them to collaborate for a one-shot, Nanamine cannot manage them and keep the story consistent over a long period of time.

True Companions: The so-called "Fukuda group": Mashiro, Takagi, Eiji, Fukuda. Aoki joins them later. Takahama, by extension, also counts as a member since venturing out with his own works. Hiramaru claims to be one of them, but he's merely an opportunist (even though the others do support him in his so-called endeavors). Although there is a rivalry between them, they are willing to help one another in fulfilling their creative potentials. Subverted with Nakai, who was one of the first members of Team Fukuda, but eventually had a falling out with them.

Next Sunday A.D.: Bakuman starts at about the same time the series started in real life, but as of chapter 129, it is taking place in 2016. The publishing of the manga ran for about three and half years, but the final chapter eventually takes place 10 years after the events in the initial chapter. Alternate History: In their world, big hits like One Piece, Naruto and Bleach exists, but may have already finished their run by the time Crow becomes Jump's flagship series (although Hattori has to give editorship of Detective Trap to Miura because he's also editing One Piece), implying that they began much earlier than their real world counterparts. Classroom of Truth is also this in-universe, as one person claims to have been born in 2001 and be 14, making it set in around 2015.

Second Place Is for Losers: Averted as far as manga rankings go, as consistently getting above tenth place is good enough to avoid being canceled, and Miura advises Mashiro and Takagi to stick to what they're best at rather than take risks to improve their rank. Played mostly straight with awards, as while Miyoshi considers "The World is All About Money And Intelligence" getting third place impressive, Mashiro and Takagi know that it isn't good enough to submit it for serialization.

comment
Cerebus Syndrome: Not the actual series itself, but the editors do comment that it is far easier to start with a comedic series and make it serious down the road than it is to work the other way around. They also note that Tropes Are Not Bad, and there's no shame in this. However, tensions that develop between Mashiro and Takagi due (at least in part) to Mashiro's reticence towards Takagi writing Rabuta and Peace and Takagi's reticence towards (and possibly jealously over) Mashiro's growing writing skills and desire to write a series with which he can fulfill his promise to Azuki that begin to form around Chapter 100 have caused the Syndrome to begin to present itself in story. The drama seems to come to a head in Chapter 110, wherein: Kaya and Takagi's marriage enters stormy waters (if not that it begins to dissolve); Takagi stops speaking to Mashiro (and actually temporarily moves out of his and Kaya's apartment) in favor of being with Shiratori and Peace; and Shiratori quits as an assistant to work with Takagi on Rabuta and Peace (thereby becoming Mashiro's rival). It seems like Kaya and Takagi's marriage is healthier now. Plus Takagi patched up things with Mashiro after explaining that he only wanted to teach Shiratori how to write his series better.

What the Hell, Hero?: In Chapters 63-65, Miyoshi get upset with Takagi for keeping his meetings with Aoki secret from her, and Azuki gets upset with Mashiro for not telling Miyoshi about Takagi's meetings, and not telling her about her mother being in love with his uncle. The main characters also get scolded for violating their contract by submitting a one-shot to another magazine, and are told that they are being selfish when they express a desire to quit Tanto. Mashiro and Takagi give one to Nanamine after he reveals his plans to them, and Mashiro suggests that his overconfidence will be his downfall. Azuki gets one from Takagi when he tells her that because she won't tell Mashiro about her problems, he's going over to her house and putting them at risk of missing the deadline.

Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup: Nanamine really thought it was a good idea to get the input of 50 people at once to write his manga. He soon learns it's not. Takagi even mentions this in Chapter 126.

Alternate Character Reading
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_d8827578
comment
Alternate Character Reading: The main characters are Moritaka and Akito, but they call each other Saiko and Shujin, which are alternate ways to pronounce their respective names. Takagi's friends call him "Shuuto," a name similarly derived from his given name. Moritaka considers his to be an Embarrassing Nickname. The word "shujin" can also be translated as "husband", with "saiko" also being able to be translated as "extremely cheerful". Could also be read as to how close Mashiro and Takagi are. At first, Takagi reacts weirdly to being called "Shuujin", as it also means prisoner (he even asks Mashiro, "are you calling me a bandit?!"), but he takes it in stride pretty fast.

Chekhov's Gunman: Ishizawa, the Small Name, Big Ego artist who knew Mashiro and Takagi in middle school, and who offered to help Aoki learn how to draw panty-shots while perving all over her before disappearing from the series. He suddenly reappears after Reversi gets an anime and is responsible for spreading the word about Azuki dating Mashiro and the ensuing scandal. Arai and Hibiki both make minor appearances in the start of the manga as fellow Jump authors before they're let go and eventually roped into Nanamine's ghost-writing scheme.

Art Evolution
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_e43c66bd
comment
Art Evolution: It's amazing how much more sketchy and cartoony the characters become over time. This doesn't detract from the story, though; somehow, it makes the whole thing more lively. It is possible that the art style of the manga is meant to reflect the genre of the manga that the protagonists are working on at the time. In universe example: Mashiro is a pretty good artist starting out, but there's always room for improvement and as the story progresses, Mashiro learns the dos and don'ts of drawing manga in addition to modifying his art style several times either because of an editor critiquing it or to help keep his and Takagi's series on par with that of the brilliant Eiji Nizuma. Heck, Mashiro even learns how to draw faster courtesy of one of his and Takagi's assisants. Shiratori in Chapter 105 does a basic sketch in front of Mashiro of one of the protagonists in PCP and according to him, a basic sketch is all he bothers doing before inking and wouldn't you know it, that's just the technique Mashiro needs to get faster at drawing if he's to get on Eiji's level! To do this he finds he must use less screen tones... a few pages after this revelation. Several changes in character design as well. Aoki's breasts keep getting bigger and bigger, and Nakai gets even fatter as the series progresses. The manga spans several years. That might explain the case of Nakai's weight. Aoki, not so much. Compare Eiji's first appearance with how he looks now. He seems to look younger now.

Nakai, an overweight middle-aged man, tends to fall into this, becoming uglier over time. Since working for Nanamine, he's gone WAY downhill. He starts to lose some weight under Yoshida's "tutelage", though.

Narm / Bathos: invokedExtolled as a desirable trait for serious manga to have. Really. To clarify, it's seemingly serious scenes that can come off as funny if you look more closely, but don't necessarily seem that way to kids. That said, PCP: Perfect Crime Party can come off as an utterly ridiculous sounding name to English speakers. Although that's kind of the point, because Takagi did consider the double meaning of "party".

Takagi points out that Nakai "looks like a stalker" while continuing to draw outside Aoki's apartment. While this initially seems to present him as a Determinator, in light of his demanding that Aoki become his girlfriend in exchange for him drawing for her, it goes to show that Nakai doesn't really respect her wishes.

Hate Sink: Ishizawa is a classmate of Mashiro and Takagi's from middle school. He's incredibly arrogant despite his lack of artistic talent, and even tries to pressure Takagi to partner with him instead of Mashiro, resulting in Takagi punching him. He gets a series in Chara Kira magazine while in college, but this doesn't compare to the main characters' accomplishments, and that series gets canceled at some point. He even tries to sexually extort Aoki into working for him, only for Fukuda to intervene. Worst of all, he plays a major role in leaking Mashiro and Azuki's relationship online, resulting in Azuki facing an uphill battle in auditioning for the lead role in Mashiro and Takagi's anime. Nanamine, who's perhaps the closest thing the series has to an outright villain. He seems like an affable young man and a fan of the main characters, but he privately reveals a cynical plan to get to the top of Jump by using a manga that's essentially written by committee. He considers his online contributors to be a means to an end, and doesn't even care about the impact his move will have on his editor. When his scheme inevitably comes crumbling down, Nanamine gets a well-deserved dose of humiliation, but he doesn't learn his lesson. He later tries a modified version of his scheme with out of work manga artists, whom he cuts loose once they're no longer useful. When the plan fails and results in him being banned from working for Jump, not many people feel sorry for him.

Nizuma Eiji originally came across as a spastic Jerkass, completely full of himself and his status as a "Prodigy Genius". Over the course of the story, he's had several instances where he's learned that he can still improve further and learn about manga from those around him. He absorbs these lessons with humility and gratitude. Not so much a jerkass, the only time we ever get this is when we see the main characters comment on his letter. When we actually meet him, we find out that he's not arrogant at all, just very eccentric. The "arrogance" that he puts up is closer to a facade to get others going. He's not out to show that his work is better, he wants to encourage others to beat him so that he could have fun reading their work.

Jerkass: Of all people, Nakai ends up being one, losing The Woobie status entirely. Ishizawa, who is quite arrogant about his manga drawing skills despite not having much talent, mocks Mashiro's artwork (getting him punched by Takagi in the process), and who offers to only help Aoki if she does poses for him. It turns out he's among those fanning the flames of the backlash over Mashiro and Azuki's relationship. Nanamine, an also overly arrogant mangaka, though his beef is with managing manga. He thinks his methods are superior to those of the Shonen Jump editorial department and professional mangaka in general. He got serialized through underhanded means (by posting his works online after he was rejected and coasting off the reaction from it), has little to no respect for his editor (doesn't help that said editor is rather meek) and is mostly just throwing in ideas from that of his chat buddies then coming up with anything of his own. He also lies to them, claiming he got the number one spot for the debut of his(their) manga when he really came in second. Miho's manager has no respect for Miho's personal feelings or doubts about decisions, and tends to browbeat her into doing whatever he tells her (doing gravure photos and disavowing her relationship with Mashiro), going so far as to suggest that her career will be over if she doesn't listen. He even claims that she's only popular because of her appearance.

A Minor Kidroduction: The manga begins with a young Mashiro, talking with his uncle about winning an award. It flashes forward several years later to an older Mashiro, who is about to graduate middle school and is disillusioned with what appears to be an uneventful future ahead of him. There is also a couple of extra chapters depicting Takagi's kidroduction until the moment Mashiro finds his notebook with him; however, these are published after the end of the main story.

Technician Versus Performer
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_ef3d1b57
comment
Technician Versus Performer: Mashiro and Takagi are "technicians" who analyze trends to make a success and Niizuma is a "performer," who draws what he wants. In Hattori's terms, they are the "calculating" and "genius types," respectively, with the former being less likely to make a hit, but more likely to have continuing success. This gets even more complicated when Nanamine is hailed as a "calculating genius," for managing (temporarily) to prevent his story from falling in Chapter 2, while Ashirogi Muto are "calculating hard workers". In a smaller scale, Shiratori and Moriya can be seen as this too. While Shiratori is happy to make stories to his heart's content, he knows that manga is a market, so one needs to have the right mindset to take it like that, while Moriya considers manga a legitimate art form in and of itself, which makes it difficult for him to find an editor that will serialize him due to his work unintentionally veering into True Art Is Incomprehensible.

Don't Explain the Joke
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_fabef10f
comment
Don't Explain the Joke: Several of the more obscure references to manga get this, such as one time when Kaya's father talks about Nobuhiro making a joke about the younger brother of the main character of "Sally the Witch".

Friendly Rivalry
 Bakuman。 (Manga) / int_fbd5fda1
comment
Friendly Rivalry: Team Fukuda has this with each other, as they compete with each other to see who can stay on top, but also show concern when one of them is in danger of being canceled, partly out of personal sympathy and partly out of a desire to compete with them. Kanra Natara is a friend of Azuki's who ends up competing with her for the role of the heroine in Reversi. She says that she won't simply hand the role over to her because doing so would be unprofessional and disrespectful.

Pet the Dog: We know Nizuma is a nice guy when we find out he gave most of his prize money to his (poor) parents. Iwase gets one in Chapter 93, actually encouraging Takagi so they don't get canceled. It was mostly motivated by being The Only One Allowed to Defeat You, but still.
