Summary: Moritaka Mashiro, a junior high school student, content to live out a relatively normal life as any other does, is persuaded by his classmate, Akito Takagi, to become an aspiring mangaka when the latter realizes his natural talent as an artist. However, Moritaka is reluctant to pursue his dream as his uncle, once a mangaka with his own serializations, died from overwork trying to regain his lost status. With Akito's help, Takagi gets another classmate and his school crush, Azuki Miho, who is an aspiring voice actress, to voice in the anime adaptation of their future manga once it is completed. However, Mashiro also proposes to Azuki, who surprisingly accepts only on the condition she will marry him when both of them have achieved their dreams. With a goal set before him, Mashiro begins a long and struggling path to become a famous mangaka.

AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!

This anime is mainly about two 15 year old boys who decide to make a manga and make a promise or rather an oath, that it will be an anime by the time they're 18. Plus, one of them is doing it for the girl he loves.
HOWEVER, the road proves treacherous. While trying to reach their dream they are burdened with the enormous overwork, the never-ending hardships and how serious and HARD it is to create a manga. During the story they are able to feature their works in magazines and meet other artists and storytellers and are able to share some experiences and rivalries.
The characters are very believable and very realistic and set in a very real-time world. I can find myself relating to the two main characters a lot and on many occasions as I watch the show I am able to grasp their feelings.

Animation is average - but nothing wrong with that.
Entertainment value is very good - might go read the manga now...
Japanese voice acting - obviously great.
The story is completely original and enticing. 'nuff said.

I should also point out that this was a joint effort of creativity made by the creator of Death Note - Ooba Tsugumi along with Obata Takeshi
