FIVE Best Selected Cartoonists×Manga!

バクマン。 / Bakuman.

Mashiro Moritaka is extremely good at drawing, while Takagi Akito has literary talent.
In their junior high school days, they met and they were meant to be together. This is one of the staple stories where they help each other to make their dream to become the cartoonists to come true and “for their future”!
The point of this manga is that their goal is not “to become the cartoonists.” Even though they finally made a debut, they will have a tough life full of pressures and also accomplishment ahead of them.
Before they started working, “self-centered”, “efforts” and “luck” were the best-suited words for them, while once they started working, “physical strength”, “mental strength” and “guts” became the words!
They are actually the themes for everybody who works! This manga teaches us them!

The main character, Watase Kaoru, is a high school girl, who wants to be a cartoonist whose specialty is the boy manga.
One day, she was pleased to know that her work was awarded as the rookie of manga award!!
Kaori, who attended the award ceremony, noticed that something was wrong. She and the editor didn’t seem to be on the same page when they talked. She wasn’t familiar with the content that the editor was talking about.
And she finally noticed something. The manga Karou got awarded was the BL manga for women……

「これ、あたしが描いた漫画じゃないっ！！」
“This…… This isn’t what I did!!”

But the pen name was surely her name (her real name). She was wondering who drew this…… and guess what? It was her older brother, Gentarou!!
He neither meant any offense nor wanted to work on BL titles. What he did was just wanting to draw a “sad and beautiful” story, which turned out to be the boys love manga. On top of that, the reason why he drew was because of the commemoration of his getting a new job, not because of him wanting to be a cartoonist. Mm? Maybe…… it will be a big chance to be the cartoonist……?
Like this, Kaoru’s cartoonist life begins, starting from a weird coincident……!!

Not just the cartoonists but there are also so many people in this world, who cry because their hard work wouldn’t pay off while trying to create good work, huh?
That’s true. But we can surely feel their passion, though. So many manga created by them even make us smile…… like we’re living our lovely time together.
Right. There are too many manga that have taught me lessons in life to count. That’s why I love manga!
So everybody! Who is the cartoonist who you look up to? How do you think he/she lives his/her life…… Maybe you can read these manga and imagine such things!
Already now! We’ll see you all at the next article! Bye-bye~!
