Masashi Kishimoto is one of the pillars of the manga and anime industry. His magnum opus paved the way for the next generation of mangaka to connect to Western countries. He had worked hard to reach the heights of success withNarutoand inspired many people through his creation. A mangaka has to go through several obstacles to get the results they are looking for.
One such anime that depicts the entire journey of a mangaka isBakuman. Bakumanis created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. From dreaming to becoming a mangaka to finally achieving that dream is entirely depicted in the anime. Even though most of the scenarios were correct, Masashi Kishimoto felt that one aspect was not accurate at all.
Masashi Kishimoto Pointed OutBakuman’s Only Problem
Masashi Kishimoto is one of the greatest mangaka ever and has been in the industry for almost three decades. Being a veteran, he knows how to differentiate between real-life and reel life scenarios. During aninterview, Kishimoto sensei pointed out the only inaccurate thing about Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’sBakuman. Every other aspect was correct except for one.
“It was a weird series”: Death Note Writer Hated One Aspect of Bakuman That He Could Do Nothing About
Kishimoto said,“I definitely had the experience of having an editor yell at me, about deadlines especially. I guess about 99% of it might be true.” So what’s the 1% that’s not true? “I really don’t think it’s feasible for high school students to really make it professionally and still go to school at the same time! But certainly I had to work even while I was sick.”
Bakumanis completed, and the creators can’t change the story. But if they ever create another manga likeBakuman, they can consider Masashi Kishimoto’s advice. Being a mangaka is not easy. They have to work under harsh conditions and complete their work before the deadline. So, writing a manga and simultaneously attending school is impossible. Everything requires focus, and doing two things at once will cause harm to both the work and their academics/personal lives.
A Mangaka Often Takes Real Life Incidents Into Account
Manga and anime are a form of fantasy that entertains the audience. But all of them have a bit of reality to them.Bakumanmight be an anime, but Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata made sure to add some real-life aspects to it. It depicted the successes and failures that a mangaka has to go through. They struggle and sacrifice until they reach the heights of popularity.
On the other hand, Kishimoto sensei also mentioned real-life inspiration in his magnum opus. When talking aboutBoruto, he said that he somewhat represents his relationship with his children. His life as a mangaka limited his time with his family. So, now he is spending time with them and has taken up jogging and weight training to stay healthy.
