Moritaka Mashiro 4 quotes

  • Manga that's born from people taking responsibility for their own work, banging their head in frustration, feeling cornered, and like they want to escape, and then using that extreme situation, mental ability, stamina, and panic to create... would never lose to some soul-less manga that's just made up of other people's ideas without any kind of resolve!
  • Those who don't give up no matter how many walls they run into, those are the ones who'll make their dreams come true.
  • A dream isn't something that someone tells you to go for. It's something you fulfill of your own will.
  • I prefer to be a humble dreamer, with visions to be realized, rather than the ruler of people with no dreams or desires.

Akito Takagi 3 quotes

  • If I follow my dream and it shatters - I can accept having to regret that. But I don't want to regret not pursuing it in the first place.
  • I think manga and life are the same thing. A weekly manga lasts for a week, and life lasts until you die. It's making the best of whatever time you're given. So, you can't hold back. "Conceit" and "Luck" are important, but the most important one is "Hard Work".
  • I don't mind the regret, if I fail in attempt to achieve my dreams. What I don't wanna regret is not chasing those dreams.

Miho Azuki 1 quote

  • I think having a dream, working hard, and never giving up couldn't possibly bring misfortune.

Kazuya Hiramaru 1 quote

  • Why do people have to work? I just want to eat and sleep. I should have born as a panda at the zoo.

About Bakuman.

Moritaka Mashiro feels as if life is passing him by; with no dreams or motivation, he trudges through day-to-day life. One day, after leaving his notebook behind, he returns to school and finds the smartest guy in class, Takagi, waiting for him. Takagi is happy to return the book, but on the condition that Mashiro agrees to become a mangaka with him. Though Mashiro initially declines, he soon reconsiders when he discovers that the girl he likes, Azuki, dreams of becoming a voice actress. And after promising that she can have the lead role if their manga is ever adapted into an anime, he suggests that they get married once they are both successful! Shockingly, she agrees to the proposal and Mashiro and Takagi embark on their quest to become manga artists.
