    I agree. So glad with what they added. They even tied up endings of other characters to an extent as well.

    Some fun news, it looks like the duo who made Bakuman (and Deathnote too) are going to be doing a new series in Jump and it's supposed to come out in a few weeks! (Roughly around the May 20th issue of Jump)

    Oooo, I wonder what their next series will be, I'm definitely interested.

    I hope it's another fun series like Bakuman. Not to say Death Note wasn't fun, but I dunno. I think they do wonderful work with the light heartedness of things.

    Huge 3-year necrobump. The live action movie is out and subbed online for anyone who wants to watch it. I'm just starting myself (watching it here) and cannot yet confirm if the subs are any good yet

    Edit: Subs were pretty decent. The story was mostly accurate I guess. Took some liberties speeding up certain aspects obviously, and they focused on Money and Intelligence (and even at that, it was kind of remodeled for the movie and not really the same as what was created in the Manga) as the manga that the two got overworked trying to do while in highschool, as opposed to Detective Trap.

    It was mostly enjoyable though. And the ending where they listed all the ideas one after the other (Trap, Tanto, PCP, Reversi) actually put a bit of a smile on my face. Ending was left open for a sequel which I kind of doubt will happen but who knows.

    Did the ending end how the manga did? I'm curious about that.

    It didn't go that far. Just until they graduated highschool. Kind of re-wrote the hospital stay part of the story to make it more movie friendly and ended shortly there after.

    They also made Nizuma Eiji a total dick, which was a bit of a shame as he was much more charming and likeable in the anime/manga

    Oh wow, that really does suck. I always looked at him just being 'different' while respecting his rivalry with the boys.
