SAM MENDES DOES NOT NEED FOUR FUCKING BEATLES BIOPICS. HIS GREED SICKENS ME.
why do they keep pushing a horror guy named THE GRABBER. like ouuuu how scary!!! It's the grabber! Oh no! The grabber! He's gonna grab me!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! the grabber better not be a Thing. I swear to god. The grabber.
This Yuri is trash!
I'm being a little harsh. I only read this because the title/concept was intriguing and I kind of like shitty vampire stories, and shitty yuri. But this is just boring and badly made.
The first chapter's generally good, but it becomes clear that this author has Side Character Syndrome, where they introduce a bunch of shitty side characters with no depth or rushed arcs. Altogether, the story is pretty generic. There's not even much cute yuri stuff to save it. They don't even kiss any scars of girls!!!!! Come on!!!! what's the point of the title?!?!!?
anyways I'll forget this in like 2 minutes. boring, bad yuri. at least it was only 17 chapters.
Bakuman would be really really good if it wasn't incredibly, egregiously misogynist and objectifying. Every female character gets obsessed with the first man to talk to them ever. They're treated like prizes, with secondary dreams. They're always there to help the main characters, and never able to truly compete with them. But hey, it has the same authors as Death Note, so what did I expect?
I'm thinking about putting together a list of manga that focuses on niche fields, subjects, or hobbies. Bakuman would be a good one for "being a Shounen Jump-serialized mangaka" but fuck that.
'Tis a shame, though. It has some interesting things to say about authorial autonomy-- some meta storylines that can be interpreted as things they learned working on Death Note. One of these lessons being that it's better for authors to end their stories rather than drag them on and make them worse by adding new characters.
But this is a manga that forgives a lecherous creepy man for being extremely misogynistic because even he deserves to follow his dreams. So, y'know, it's shit. And I don't think I could ever truly recommend it to someone.
