Two young high school kids want to become a manga team of writer and artist. But will they make it in the big time- Shonen Jump?

Here are the adventures of a couple of kids who made it in the big time with the ups and down in the manga industry. This is by the creators of Death Note.

Excellent. This is generally the background of what manga artists and writers do in real life. Good stuff. This reader will continue to read until the end of the series. Highly recommended to fans of manga and/or inspiring people who want to get their own manga to a major publication in Japan . ~~ Jeffrey Lu
