    If you dont have much time this is *fine* and servicable, but in reality I suggest watch the anime. The anime will give you chills and really make you ponder behind the struggling lives of Mangaka. This one is okay, but I feel it does not have the same emotional weightage as the seasons Basically this is the first two seasons, two high school boys want to draw manga for a living and they spend their high school and college days drawing manga. There are many interesting characters, such as the editors Hattori and Maori They are all nice people'The background music is nicennanimation is alright though datednnAll in all yea its a fine watch I prefer seasons thoughnnThanks!n-CyanCheetah
