Bakuman ~ Takeshi Obata & Tsugumi Obha

[KanzakiUrusei]

Hello there ^-^

Tsugumi Ohba, Takeshi Obata's "explosive" work to start in Japan on August 11.

This year's 36th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has confirmed on Monday that the Death Note writer/artist team of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata are launching a manga called Bakuman in the next issue, which goes on sale on August 11. The magazine describes the new manga as "explosive." (The Japanese word for "explosion" is "bakuhatsu"). Maison de Penguin comedy manga creator Koji Oishi is also launching a new manga called Inumarudashi– two issues from now on August 26. .

Considering the great storyline in Death Note and the quality of the work of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, I guess that Bakuman is going to be a great manga.

Will it be available on Mangashare since it's in the Weekly Shonen Jump?
I can't wait to read the first chapter ^-^

One more pic and first spoiler^^

Spoiler!

Spoiler (translation by kewl0210 @ MH)

絵の才能がある主人公は、ある男子に漫画家になろうと勧められる
だが、主人公は頑なに拒否
The main character has the ability to draw, the young man there says he
should become a mangaka and encourages him. But the main character obstinately
refuses.

話の流れで主人公が想いを寄せる女の子のところへ行くと、女の子が声優志望で
あることが判明
As the story continues, the main character's feelings gather as he goes
to a young girl. It's established the girl has a wish to become a seiyuu
(voice actor).
そこで、主人公は自分達の書いた漫画のヒロインの声優をやってくれと提案
So the main character proposes that she come and be his own manga's heroin's
seiyuu.

主人公「だからその夢が叶ったら　結婚してください」
Main character: "So when that dream comes true, please marry me."

女の子は照れて家の中に入るも、インターホンで「はい・・・」という返事
でも、女の子は夢が叶うまで会わないと言う
The young girl also becomes shy, over the intercom "Yes..." is the reply.
But it is said that her dream still hasn't come true.

　　　なってやるマンガ家に！　そして僕は亜豆と結婚する！！　
I'll become a mangaka! And I'll marry Azu!!
[I'm guessing a bit on the name, could be a combination of a couple other
things depending on what they pick, or however names work. Could be Atou,
Ashiazu, or Ashiatou, too. Might even be something else, you'd need someone
better at names or else check the furigana when the chapter comes out.]

終わり
End.

Here's a more complet spoiler, but still no real translation. However, kewl0210 @ MH gave us the general idea

1ページ　夢と現実

主人公は中三の「真城最高（ましろ・もりたか）」
特に将来やりたいこともないが親や世間体のためにとりあえず引き篭もらず勉強をしている
絵で数々のコンクールで入賞
叔父に漫画家を持つ（もう死んでいる　最高は自殺した、と考えている）
そしてクラスメイトに片思い中
授業中に片思いの子「アズキ」をノートに模写　
家に帰り、中間テストが控えてるため勉強をしようとするも模写をしていたノートが見当たらない 事に気付く
なくても勉強には困らないがノートが誰かに見られるのはマズイ
そして教室に取りに行くと同級生で秀才の「高木秋人」が
「見られたか！？」「そんな深刻な顔するなよ【デスノート】ってわけでもないし」
こんな感じのやり取りが続き、秋人は最高に「自分が文章、最高が作画」で漫画家を目指そう、と 提案
とりあえず拒否するもあまりのしつこさに嫌気をさすが、一日考える猶予をもらう
帰宅しゲームで遊んでいたところ母にテスト勉強をするようにキツめに促され憤慨する最高
すると秋人から電話が「いまからアズキに告白するからお前も来い！」
とりあえずアズキの家に行くとそこには豪邸が
アズキは声優を目指していることが発覚
そしてある約束を取り付ける
「最高と秋人が漫画を描き、それがアニメになったらアズキがヒロインの声優をやる　そしてアズキは最高と結 婚する」と
そしてこの約束（夢）が叶うまで最高とアズキは会う事はない、メールはよしとする
しかし最高は秋人と組むとは決めてない
そして「漫画の達人」風の指南書を購入、で終わり

次回、「馬鹿と利口」
新時代サクセスストーリーらしいです

The general idea:

It says the boy's name is Mashiro Moritaka. The kanji for his first name, Moritaka, is the same kanji for "saiko" which means "best" or "ultimate" or "supreme". I think it says he's a third year middle school student, which is like a highschool freshman in the US.
The girl's name is Azuki.
The other guy's name is there too, it's something like
高木秋人 : Kouboku Akihito... I dunno way more combinations on this.
The characters say something about Death Note in the story.

I'll post if I find something new ^-^

[fxu]

gahhhhhhhhhh Taha-kun

I was gonna post that :(

Anyway, post the summary in a spoiler tag, since it is a spoiler.

[Jinoh]

It has nothing to do with those monsters though... all the name says is "explosive manga"

[KanzakiUrusei]

It has nothing to do with those monsters though... all the name says is "explosive manga"

Yeah, I just figured that out.

Apparently, this manga is about manga-making.

Seems like the two protagonists in this manga are a story writer and an artist. Just like Ohba and Obata ^-^

[Jinoh]

I like the idea of the manga though, its gonna be interesting and a manga I will definetely follow.

[OldChemist]

Ya, I read about this on AnimeNewsNetwork. Looks like an interesting story, and the creator has a classic on his belt already so it should be decent at least.

Any word on who's taking up Bakuman for translations?

That's what I'm looking for =/

[KanzakiUrusei]

Well, Bakuman is now out, but we still have no scantrad ^-^

I hope SleepyFans or Binktopia will take over it

[Arisato-kun]

Sounds like a really interesting storyline. I can't wait for scantalations.
