Last, last week, my favorite shounen jump series "Eyeshield 21" finally ended in a bittersweet note. And now that it's
Sat-no wait, Sunday Monday, I'm feeling the after effects losing something you had (or you've been doing) for the last couple of years. And so my favorite weekly must-reads were cut down by one. It's a big loss, really because Eyeshield 21 is the very first series that I've patiently waited every week for updates. But I thought a lot about it and I probably should get a move on. And so I was on my way for hunting 'the next series that'll try to fill the gap hole of Eyeshield 21'. So far the regular still-running series I'm reading are One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail and Katekyo Hitman Reborn (the ones I ceremoniously read every Saturday or Sunday depending upon the release date of scans). On a side note I read Tsubasa, Shaman King (KZB edition) whenever there's an update (they're irregular, unlike in weekly shounen series) and on some
very, very, very random weeks I try to keep myself updated in Air Gear, Naruto, Saint Seiya: Lost Canvas and School Rumble Z. I'm still getting the hang of some other promising mangas but what I really need now is a weekly-updated series. And that how I came across... BAKUMAN.

Bakuman is from Shounen Jump. I first saw its name when it appeared in the list of Shounen Jump Titles when I was looking at the cover page of Reborn last, last week I think? Anyway, it's from the creators of Death Note and it's way interesting for me because it's a manga about manga. And it's very light and very amusing. You'd suddenly find yourself liking the characters you first thought you won't like and they all have some share of weirdness/craziness in them. XD As I've said, it's a manga about manga and they pretty much explain how manga world revolves. I'm even thrilled to see a lot of Jump titles appearing one after the other and also the names of popular mangakas in Shueisha publication. (I must be a total weirdo being ecstatic with just the mentioning of Oda-sensei and Inagaki-sensei's names). Anyway, I'm looking forward to more of BAKUMAN! XD
