    Is anyone else reading it? It's not like the other mangas that are in Jump, that much is for sure. It's about two friends who want to write Manga - and it's actually proceeding quite rapidly.

    I enjoy it. Anyone else?

    It was a pretty interesting look at the life of a manga artist. I tried it out since it was from the author of Death Note. It's certainly rather unique; slice-of-life, drawing manga and inside peek at Jump. Unless you have an intrest in drawing manga yourself, I wouldn't recommend this to you - it can get rather boring.

    Well this latest chapter really raised the stakes - they just quit their current manga, and if they don't get serialized again within the next six months, they can never work for Jump anymore.

    I really do enjoy this manga. With Eyeshield 21 over, and Naruto being turned into shit, it's only this, One Piece and Bleach that I look forward to from Jump every week. The characters are good, the art is nice, and the story is excellent.

    I've blown through this in the past couple of days. Excellent series really kept me entertained.

    It's a good series... whether or not the facts about Shonen Manga is true is up to discussion. You guys are going to have Miura... -_-

    I used to read Hunter x Hunter weekly. But then after the Greed Island arc, the art got really odd. I kept trying, but I just don't like the new style.

    Well there's Psyren (that's Shonen Jump right?) and Negima after about 17 or so chapters.

    Ah, Hunter X Hunter. I really liked the early Hunter Exam arcs, and the training arc was neat, but once uh... once whatshisface (the guy with the chain) had his big arc and it became clear that the 4 main characters were going to stay more or less split up I lost interest somewhat.
