Bakuman Volume 2

This one was more enjoyable than the last.  It's interesting to see manga behind the scenes.  I didn't realise how much went into deciding what should even be published.  And then figuring out what continues to be published.  I guess I'm more used to the North American model of comics publishing where it's all back on profit return.

I can't decide if some of the characters are real, or complete caricatures.  Their rival, Eiji, is so over the top that I think he has to be a parody.
