I love that you love all the manga that I also happen to love. ;D I'm a huge fan of Hikaru no Go and, similarly, liked Bakuman. It's surprisingly suspenseful for a story that, as you said, is essentially about a couple of guys in a room writing and drawing.

Meanwhile, you speak the truth about Bleach. As if they haven't already started killing off my favorites (and, predictably enough, not killing the ones that annoy me), I'm now fearing for Renji life. And then there's Hirako.... He hasn't been up to anything yet, so I'm wondering what's going to go down with him.

Where are you, Ishida?

By the by, if you haven't tried Blue Exorcist, maybe you should? I'm only guessing that you might enjoy it.
