Yup. I'm guessing that scenes in the Shuueisha offices will have other cameo things…
...also, yay for all the product placement in this chapter. o/

Yeah, it's pretty hard to miss.
And wow, Eiji's a complete douche.
i've been reading this series since my friend informed me about it. it's deffinately a change from Death Note, but it's pretty good. must get to reading ch 9 now!
Calling it now- Eiji will be in their class, and will fall in love with Azuki. And I guess the MANGA BATTLES to be were inevitable .
Calling it now- That one manga Eichi hates so much is One Piece
At the end Oda will kick his ass with a gomu-gomu-no-pistol
When Eiji made the request the first thought that came to my mind was "You selfish bastard" lol Guess he won't get the Togashi treatment easily…
So...What's the chances of them winning the award?
yup i kno it was obvious just tryin to start some convo
Anybody else think that Mashiro is too self centered? He doesn't really seem to care if Azuki reaches her dream or not. In fact Azuki probably thinks that Mashiro believes that she won't make it as a voice actor that's why she was crying.
Eiji seems interesting. I can't wait for him to meet Shujin and Mashiro.

Hahahah, I totally thought that too. But I wonder if Obha has any personal problems with another author at Jump.
It would be really hilarious if they did Oda as Pandaman (or something like that)
I also saw a pic of Chagecha (that manga is actually growing on me, dont know why, its not an original, since it reminds me of Worst, but still, its much more hilarious)
In the next chapter Oda gives sage advice to the boys about dental care and how to marry super models
Well, Eiji's a douche. What more needs to be said?
I'm looking forward to the epic MANGA BATTLES that are sure to ensue between the two groups.
Eiji has no friends I bet
Pretty good chapter.
Yeah, Eiji's a douche…
You know what would be awesome? If they could somehow actually have manga battles. Like the boys draw a manga, and Eiji makes one that kills off their manga. In retaliation, they create a manga in the same previous world that kills off his manga and so on.
But I gather, it would reach DBZ levels at some point and become lame.. still a type of colab battle (kind of like eEca doodle chats) would be awesome.
Wonder what manga he wants to "kill". But yeah, good chapter. Funny to see Naruto drawn in Obata's style. These two really know how to write/draw a good manga.
I just started reading this today. Thank you for converting me.
Eiji… I never liked him the moment I saw his face.
@Fire Fist:

He probably doesn't have anything specific in mind, but just wants the power to adjust SJ to his liking.
It's interesting though that he says he wants to be "the most popular SJ author." When I read that I couldn't help thinking, "No way you're beating One Piece, noob!" Seriously, One Piece is SJ's new Dragonball.
Which now means that Oda HAS to make an appearance if for nothing else than to slam Eiji down and/or encourage our heroes.
I seriously doubt Obha would have Oda come and personally rape Eiji in his skinny ass.
After all, Oda is the type of person that dislikes even drawing himself, much less being drawn, so I doubt he would allow Obha to draw him in his manga unless his head was a fish.. and Bakuman isn't that type of manga.
I honestly can't see any real life authors appearing. It would be weird, ex-deus machina and unfitting.
The only ones I can imagine of making cameos are the authors themselves. But even that is stretching my imagination. I guess it would be cool though. Dunno.
I was kinda wishing this Eiji fellow would end up being a good sport. Oh well. This turn off event feels little too… artificial. But it was a fun chapter.
I just finished reading the four latest chapters.
Man, this book has jumped up a notch. This story needed a villain so bad and it looks like we've got a good one.
Can't wait to read more.

How would it be deus ex machina? They've already mentioned the popular series, would it be that great a leap to mention/show the authors as well?
And I'm not saying they have to jump in and save the day or anything, but little cameos would be cool.
ladies and gentlemen!! And now we introduce PIECE OF SHIT BADGUY!!!
enjoy!

Well let's say Eiji hates One Piece, but Toriyama has appeared as a guest.
Do you seriously think, Ohba has the balls to create a parallel timeline where Eiji cancels One Piece? Hell no, Toriyama would step in and say something profound that owns Eiji, or likewise grab his hand/mouth before he reveals the manga he wants to 'erase.'
By bringing in real life authors, you bring in GIANTS the likes of which are Reileigh, Shanks, etc in One Piece. Characters like this can only be non-influential on the entire story much much later in the manga, like 4 years when it is established. At this moment, no matter how 'popular' Eiji gets in this fictional world, if a real life author like even Kishimoto shows up, he would own him, badly.
Therefore, the entire struggle and goal of one of our heroes (albeit antagonist) does not harm the status quo, due to EDM.
You know deep down that you want to see Oda Gomu Gomu no Curbstomp Eiji.

I never imagined a scenario when Eiji canceled One Piece, I just think that he can't claim "top crown SJ author" while One Piece (and Naruto, and Bleach, and Gintama, etc.) exists. But oh well, I'm sure they'll deal with that somehow.
And it's deus ex-machina not ex-deus machina.
The thing is he said "If I get to the top of jump". Which really is a hugely long term thing. So they could do something like "a time skip where all the current mangas have ended" or something.
Really it's hard to figure out where they'd go with this, because as it's been mentioned, it would take a few years for the story to get to some of the goals.
And it's deus ex-machina not ex-deus machina.
Yes it is :happy: my bad.
I think if the series sticks around, much like Death Note, eventually these heroes will attain their goals. L figured out who Killer was before he died, Light became the top cop and continued to be Kira, so this manga likewise will give a chance for our heroes (both pro/antagonistic) to achieve their dream. But in the case of Eiji, there are things that can stop him.
For example, he could reach #1 status, and go to the chief editor and say I want to cancel Bakuman, and the Chief Editor would say.. that series is a classic, you're stupid.
Ooooh, wouldn't it be a great twist if Ohba planned this all out that if Bakuman ever reaches #1 status he cancels it? Reaffirming he's kind of a psycho, but in a fun to read kind of way?
Chapter 10 Scanlation by SleepyFans:http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41420
Chapter 10 was excellent. This book is like a must-read for me now. It's actually got me wanting to write more myself which is probably what the author intended.
Chapter 10 = PWNAGE!
Yeah, that was good. Shujin gave that kid what he had coming to him.
Shujin punching that guy was awesome
Yes, give that creepy kid what's what; in true shounen style!
This chapter rocks!
Shujin reminds me of when Luffy punching Calros(the tenryuubito).
Glad to see that there are negative effects to the hard work they are doing. Isn't that the smart stuck-up student in Shujin's house???
good chapter, probably the best so far. Shujin knocked the hell outta that kid
this one was pretty cool. Shujin is a pimp for the week! hell he's even got two girls hanging out in his house cause of it. He doesn't understand why they are there… but he doesn't give a fuck!
I would have decked more dudes in high school if i'd have known that would have happened.
For a manga about the process of creating manga, they do high-school hijinks pretty damn well. (and Ohba draws the greatest contorted faces)
Y'know, manga aside, this is turning out to be a great buddy story. I'm sure there are hoards of yaoi doujinshi being written as we speak.
The thought of that is chilling, yet possible(I mean in less than a week of some latest OP chapters, i've seen some 'suggestive' fanart circulated around)
..anyway, I like where this story is going
I agree, this is one of the best chapters thus far. I pretty much knew that Shujin and Mashiro wouldn't win the Tezuka award since they were so hyped about it and it's way too soon (though I did think they might get honorable mention).
And yeah, Shujin punching out that dude was epic.
Things are starting to get interesting in this series. Right when Mashiro starts blaming himself for the loss, I have a feeling him and Shujin friendship is gonna go down hill soon. Then Mashiro will turn emo and hide away from his friends haha.
Theres something about that chick in the beginning and the end.
good series i cant wait for the next chap and if the manga they make in the manga is good the asuthers can releses that as there next manga
@bunshindattebayo:

well, luffy actually appeared one page before that scene.
in obata-land Oda has no breaks
@SombreroDPaja:

Ha! I didn't realize Luffy was on the cover of that Jump issue! Awesome!
Take that motherfucker!!! AND WHAT!? And what!? Eat the freakin floor!!
Wow. Great chapter. It awakened my inner nigga moment XD That guy crossed the lines showing off his shitting drawings.
This chapter was epic, but the series altogether continues to be good, and better as it goes. So I continue to recommend it, and for whoever hasn't started reading I would suggest right now is the epic perfection for someone to start. This is like watching OP until episode 24 and becoming hooked.
This right here is the clincher that will hook fans.
Also.. threesome. FUCKING PIMP!!!!~
Very nice chapter.
Wan't the douche who got punched the same guy Shujin mentioned who only draws manga headshots of girls in the class?
So wait…Is the end of the series going to be with the debut of Bakuman in JUMP thereby creating some kind of parallel time-loop alternate reality/reality-based psuedo biographic story?
fluffernutter.
@Mr.:
Very nice chapter.

Same loser.
more letters.
