Daddy Issues, the manga.

GSHD boils down to:

WHY DIDN'T YOU LOVE ME DADDYYYYYY!?!
You love manga more than me! (anyone and everyone)
Manga = Serious Business.

Add a generous dose of wangst and a light sprinkling of gratuitous sex and you get this manga. Worth reading if and only if you like teenage melodrama. Not my sort of thing, alas.

The art...

... is better than the story. It's so overdone. Drama llama, and making manga into some sort of holy occupation that supersedes all else in the world and in life. The art is good, but the characters are so... character-ish, that they feel cartoony instead of relatable.

I forced myself to finish this one.

Definitely one of my favorite favorite mangas!

Well, I read this in (mostly) one go, and it's .. well, (expletively) amazing. The drama is excellent, the character interactions and revelations.. maybe it doesn't fit into a stereotypical type of manga, asides from the rising-artist's-tribulations sort of thing, but it's worth reading. I thought it was actually BL, but it's not, though you still shouldn't read this if you can't handle the mature themes.

It's not like shoujoy smut where everything is all lovey-dovey, and the couple ends up together for the rest of their lives, etc. I think the most touching and brilliant part of this manga is that despite the fact that the realities that the two main characters experience are different from ours, Nihonbashi-sensei portrays it in a shockingly realistic way. She isn't afraid to pick through the thoughts that are usually absent from manga--there's shame, the complexities of love, and shattered pride, and self-hatred... It's not just a manga-approach to the world of manga creation, but a story trying to get at the heart of what it's like to have to define and discover yourself.
The art is really good, though I hate Machizo's hair. XD It's a very interesting and distinctive style, reminds me a lot of anime, though not really- it has a crispness and distinctness that sets it apart (asides from the fact that it's, you know, printed as opposed to animated xD).
But, it's amazing. The plot is great--keeps you twisting in your seat the whole way through. I wish I could finish it, since it's simply so good so far that I can't imagine the ending..

Even if you like shoujo, or shounen, or don't care about slightly-off-the-wall mangas, you should at least try to read this. The plot is great, the characters are amazingly portrayed, and it's just overall wonderful. (Though if mature themes squick you out, it might not be such a fun ride.. XD; Just a warning!)

douchebag main char

Rating: N/A

I hated this story, mainly because the main character is a massive douchebag. He is like that kid in your class that trys to act all gangster in a attempt to stand out, worse of all, he feels the need to express how badass he is by constantly going around pissing people just because he doesn't like what they're eating or something retarded like that. It pisses me off that the other more likeable boy was not the main character. I didn't even get past the first chapter before deleting this, I got exactly to the point where the main character ends up fucking his dad's lover (aka his step-mom) probably just because he disliked his dad and his manga, again, expressing his badassness because hes that much of a annoying prick. It feels as if someone tried to turn a h-manga into a normal manga.

Machizo is my favorite teenaged character in manga, hands-down. He really is so believable -- gifted and conflicted and occasionally stupid, just as most adolescents are. His creative struggle to make the perfect manga is gripping and engaging, as is his on-again, off-again friendship with Tetsuo.

The desire to surpass his father is also very cute, and very typical of any boy who's in the same profession as his parents. I really should hand Machizo my copy of Bloom's Anxiety of Influence... He'd learn a lot from it!
