The Bakuman Manga Is Ending
There's something very meta to be said about a manga about making manga. It becomes even more meta when you're reporting that that manga about making manga is drawing to a close. After a 4 year run in Shonen Jump, the Bakuman manga (which has spawned 2 anime series and has a 3rd one in the works) is ending at chapter 176. The last chapter will run in next week's double issue in Japan.
