Bakuman, Vol. 20

The depiction of their ambitions and setbacks felt so real. I kept wondering how much of their journey reflects real manga artists' experiences.

It gave me a new appreciation for the effort behind making manga. I'm curious whether this focus was planned from the start or evolved as the story progressed.

The balance between their professional ambitions and personal feelings added so much depth. Did anyone else feel their relationship was portrayed so authentically?
