I have no idea... Oh yeah, I like the manga's artist.

I dropped the manga after 15 chapters though.
No offense, but I don't see the appeal in it. It's bad.

And grows stale.

a friend told me the guys from Death Note were going to launch a new manga, and I decided to give it a try.

and is good... not in my top 10, but surelly in my top 20

I think somewhere around when the 5th chapter was released. Only read cause it by the guys from Deathnote.

Started to read from the very beginning when it debuted in JUMP. At first I wasn't too thrilled about the series since it made mention that Bakuman was being done by Death Note mangaka but, I was willing to give a shot since I know most mangaka usually do something different from their previous work. Glad I did continue reading. This series rids the bad taste of Death Note out of my mouth.

Started reading when there were was only a couple of chapters out because it sounded interesting not because of the mangaka. I did however realize that it was the same illustrator as Death Note and Hikaru no Go when I started reading as the art style was very similar though slightly more matured. The long explanations just cemented that it was also the same author/writer as Death Note.

I've been reading it since the beginning. I was looking for something new after reading all the other WSJ titles for that week and I happened to notice Bakuman chapter 1. I have to say that it is one of the very few times I have actually started reading a series from the first release.
When I pick a series at random, I usually skip the summary. Sometimes they ruin it for you, and sometimes they don't know what they're talking about, so I don't bother. Instead I jump right into reading it. I'll usually give it a chapter or two to catch my interest or drop it. This was one I definitely knew I wanted to follow before I had even finished the chapter.
While reading it, I could tell the artist was the same as Death Note. But knowing this beforehand wouldn't have influenced me either way.

cuzz Death Note was amazing so i figured these guys can do no wrong....and so far i'm right

I started a couple of months back.
As usual was bored waiting for releases when I spotted this series.

I started reading it because I heard about it at an anime convention, and thought it sounded interesting. A woman came up to me and asked me if I've heard about Bakuman, and that it was about two boys trying to become Mangaka. Since I wanted to be a mangaka, naturally I was excited to start reading.

It was a bit boring in the beginning, but I think after about... Maybe 5 to 6 chapters, it got better.

Now it's in my top 5! No, scratch that, top 3. I enjoy it a lot, I can't WAIT for an anime.

A few months after it came out. The summary sounded interesting but I didn't want to read something so short (only a few chapters when it first came out)

I started reading it around chapter 40 or so because a bunch of people were saying it's good and the plot sounded interesting because I like to write and draw and create things all the time so I could kind of relate. It wouldn't be near as interesting to me if I didn't. But now it's taught me so much about how the manga industry works! It's one of my favorite manga and I keep looking forward to the next chapter.

The manga started off pretty decent, but then hit a slump in chapters 30-40. At that point I stopped reading, but later on because of boredom I decided to give it another chance. After that the manga got dangerously addictive somehow and instantly became one of my favorite ongoing manga
