Bakuman Goes from Paper to Digital

Ohba and Obata, genius mangaka duo responsible for Death Note, have, as some of you already may already know, joined forces once again to bring you a new manga, Bakuman, about a duo who want to create manga together.  If you want to read the first chapter of it (in ENGLISH) then now’s your chance.  And it’s not illegal!

But how does one accomplish such a feat?  Just follow the instructions on the bottom of this page, and you’ll be reading Ohba and Obata’s newest story in English no time!  And if you prefer French or German, you can choose them on this page.

I personally am not too fond of Bakuman.  It’s an interesting read but not something I’d personally like to buy in volume form.  Although I must say that page 42 was pretty epic~  I’d post a picture, but the manga reader program doesn’t allow screencaps. (Also, just for the record, don’t screencap at all while you’re reading the manga, when I did it prevented my computer from copying anything onto the clipboard until I restarted it.  Really annoying)

The epicness translated slightly differently

I’d say that Bakuman is worth a read, but you’d better be quick about it because all of the manga will be taken off on August 31st.  In the meantime, happy reading!  And please feel free to comment!
