Bakuman is Rather Entertaining

So this is my first time posting on here, and I thought that I would start off by writing about a manga that I started reading a while ago, Bakuman.

Please note that I'm really not sure how copyrighting works and if you have issues with my picture usage, please say so. I tried to make sure that it was from a public use site, but I'm not really sure how copyrighting works on those.

Anyway, I'm not caught up to the manga, but I'm just going to do a little overview on what it's about and why I like it.
Bakuman follows the story of two classmates, Mashiro and Takagi, who decide to try to become mangakas together. Mashiro is the artist, while Takagi is the one who comes up with the writing and story lines. The manga follows their ups and downs as they try to get their manga published and become successful. There is also the added twist of Mashiro's "romance" with Azuki. I put romance into quotation marks because they have decided that they will have a relationship and get married after Azuki is a successful voice actress, and Mashiro is a successful mangaka.
I really like how this manga shows some of the back workings of the manga industry, and goes through what it takes to get a manga serialized, the competition involved, and how it is actually a lot of hard work. The art style is great, and the characters are entertaining. Also note that it is written by the team responsible for Death Note.
The series started in 2008, and is published by Weekly Shonen Jump.
