 If you liked Death Note |  ...then you might like Bakuman. |
Ever had a goal in life you would almost kill for to accomplish? Would you have the determination not to give up even if it went bad? Both of these manga are about people who have an incredible amount of determination, even when it seemed impossible they still contiued. Their determination is inspirational and will make you think about your own life and dreams.
If you are a fan of Obata's photorealistic artwork or Obha's unparalleled Shonen character writing, read then watch Bakuman. It is the story of two manga creators trying to make it in the Shonen world with a cult hit non mainstream manga, almost autobiographical but with a lot of fantasy thrown in.
Bakuman and Deathnote are series that have been made by the same author and same artist, and if you've read either of these works you'll notice similarities when reading the other one of the two. The art style is for instance very similair, but the way the story draws the reader in, to read more and more is also very similair in both of these manga, despite having a completly different plot. Even the excentric antagonist, who are at the same time also kind of part of the protagonists in both of these works, have this same feel to them.

There is something quite charming about Bakuman, I first picked up Bakuman vol. 1 at my local Library and after realizing that Bakuman was made by the same two people as Deathnote I had to have more. Bakuman will reveal ton of information about the Manga industry and with a great story and awesome humor you might end up getting all 20 novels.

Both manga are by the same authors so they have a similar art style and similar character writing. While they both cover wildly different topics the general vide they give off is very alike.

Same author and artist are back with another unconventional battle manga. This time instead of a Cops and Robbers story, the protagonists are fighting against rivals to become the number 1 mangaka in Shonen Jump.
