Bakuman.

Simultaneously ultra-cynical and ultra-sentimental. The central whim (two kids pledge to marry each other if and only if they succeed in their careers, and to never see each other until then) is hard to swallow. Lots of people outraged by the redpilled monologue on page 80 (“it’s all in the blood... the best thing for a girl is to get married”) but the character is shown as a mouthy prick so maybe a portrayal isn’t a thesis. most of it is po-faced declarations and pondering, not edgy.

That said I am a sucker for competence porn, affirmations, glorification of projects, intricate details of an obscure practice, and grit. Might read on later.
