Bakuman バクマン

日本人のみなさん、さいきん英語で書いてすいません。
先日バクマンを読んでいます。読むのがいっぱいあるのはかかわらず、おもしろい漫画です。
ましろくんはそんなに好きな女の子と結婚を決める事はありえないけどね。


I have just recently started reading Bakuman, a manga about two high school students teaming up to become professional manga artists! It's interesting because the author of this manga actually consists of one artist and one writer, the same in Bakuman. Mashiro is the artist and Takagi is the writer. Perhaps this may be a true story.

Bakuman tells the reader the experience of what's it like to be in the manga-publishing world. But it also seems that it tells something else. Mashiro promises Azuki, his crush and a voice actress, that they will never see each other until they become professional. This reminds me of Gwendolyn Brook's poem, First Fight then Fiddle. Another way of saying do your obligations and priorities first. Then do what you want. Same for this young couple. First, for Mashiro, successfully become a professional manga artist, then meet Azuki. For Azuki, become a professional voice actress, then meet Mashiro. This manga is fun!
