The characters of the manga series ''[[Bakuman｡ (Manga)|Bakuman｡]]'':
----
 
Line 74:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Despite being [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]], Mashiro and Takagi are a mix of both onis.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Savvy Guy to Miyoshi's Energetic Girl.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Wants Mashiro and Azuki to get together.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: {{spoiler|Hangs up on Nanamine's desperate challenge}}.
* [[Technician Versus Performer]]: It's pointed out early on that he's a technician; he's less likely to create a hit than those who draw what they feel like, but easily follows up on one.
Line 92:
* [[Alliterative Family]]: With her mother Miyuki and her younger sister Mina. Her father's name is unknown.
** Also [[Theme Naming]], because the initial ''"mi"'' syllable in these three names is written with the same kanji character which means "beautiful". <ref>(But, to tell the truth, this character is rather ubiquitous in Japanese female names.)</ref>
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Has one in Mina, who [[Shipper Onon Deck|teases her about blushing over Mashiro]], and barges in on her rehearsing her lines for Reversi, knocking after the fact.
* [[Brown Eyes]]
* [[Childhood Marriage Promise|Teenage Marriage Promise]]: With Mashiro.
Line 102:
* [[High School Sweethearts]]: With Mashiro.
* [[Hime Cut]]: With a curved fringe instead of a straight one, as is usually the case.
* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]: She ''can't'' sing, despite the insistence of talent recruiting agencies for her to do so. [[Irony Asas She Is Cast|Ironically]], [[Saori Hayami]] is praised as one of the best singers of her generation of voice actors.
{{quote| '''Miyoshi:''' ''(laughing out loud)'' Now I know why she never wanted to go for karaoke!!!}}
** She gets better, later on, and sends Mashiro some of her songs on a disk.
Line 112:
* [[Seiyuu]]: This is what Miho wants to be.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Most of her efforts are focused on fulfilling the promise and getting together with Mashiro.
* [[Significant Birth Date]]: Offers plenty of [[Squee]] for the poor, [[Death Note (Manga)|beleaguered]] month of November. [[Red Filter of Doom|On Guy Fawkes Day, no less.]]
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: To Mashiro (and apparently since 4th grade).
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
Line 162:
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Energetic Girl to Takagi's Savvy Guy.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Not really shallow, but you know what we mean.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: For Mashiro and Azuki, which is arguably more of a reason for her to jump into the mangaka bandwagon than her commitment with Takagi.
* [[Squee]]: When "The Perfect Crime Club" gets serialized. Also when {{spoiler|Reversi gets an anime.}}
* [[They Do]]
Line 218:
* [[The Rival]]
* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: Does it a lot, and with passion.
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: For Mashiro and Miho.
* [[Significant Anagram]]: His pen name, "Moneys", {{spoiler|while illustrating for Iwase}}, is an anagram of his surname ("Ni-zu-ma"-> "Ma-ni-zu")
* [[Verbal Tic]]: [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]].
Line 271:
* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|When a drunk and angry Nakai wants to confront Aoki, Hiramaru confronted him personally instead of calling the police. Due to being pretty weak, Hiramaru got thrown around, but he refused to give up for Aoki's sake.}}
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]
* [[Expy]]: He's reputedly based on Hideaki Sorachi, the author of ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]''.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: At first his infatuation with Aoki comes off almost as superficial and pathetic as Nakai's obsession with her... {{spoiler|Until we find out Hiramaru actually does respect Aoki as a person and even calls out his editor for using her. When they get together, he actually works towards improving himself. Hiramaru might be completely neurotic, but in the end he is really a [[Nice Guy]] who has proved he genuinely cares enough about Aoki to try to change his habits for the better.}}
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: For Aoki.
Line 281:
* [[The Slacker]]
* [[The Alcoholic]]
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: {{spoiler|He finally asks Aoki to go out with him, and she says yes (as long as he keeps drawing manga). He later did the same for Nakai, hiring him on as an assistant not just in spite of all the [[Jerkass]] behaviour Nakai's been showing, but ''because'' of it (though they were both drunk/punchdrunk and Hiramaru actually worried he was going to end up like Nakai.)}}
 
== Takuro Nakai ==
Line 300:
* [[Gonk]]: He's obese and not often clean-shaven, and the manga clearly shows that he's not very attractive. {{spoiler|And it gets even worse when he comes back}}..
* [[Jerkass]]: While some see him as a [[Jerkass Woobie]], there's still the fact that as an assistant for {{spoiler|Nanamine}}, he acts like a real dick to the guys working with him and clearly shows the cuter girls preferential treatment; none of the other assistants seem too fond of working with him as a result.
** {{spoiler|[[Defied Trope|Defied,]] right before his [[Moral Event Horizon]] [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|that would take him]] [[Complete Monster|to very dark places]]. After [[Heel Realization|holding himself back from hitting Aoki,]] [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone|he gets a job offer to be Hiramura's assistant]] as a way to pick himself up, and takes the oppurtunity to make up for what he's done. And while he's not even close to recovering from or making up for his actions yet, he seems to be clawing his way up to [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]. Heck, he's even getting coaching to lose the [[Gonk]] traits he's picked up.}}
* [[Just Friends]]: This seems to be what "Aoki Ko" wanted to have with him. There might have been some sort stronger relationship between them, {{spoiler|but he ruined everything when he became a [[Jerkass]]}}
* [[Mangaka]]
* [[Oh Crap]]: Gets this when things go wrong, particularly when {{spoiler|he sees Aoki [[Pinky Swear]] with Hiramaru}}.
* [[Progressively Prettier]]: Inverted! Nakai has always been overweight and noticeably older than the other mangaka, but he looked relatively normal in his initial appearance and has since gotten steadily fatter and less attractive. This went into overdrive after {{spoiler|He [[Took a Level In Jerkass]] and later came back from his time at his mother's house, although this can be justified in that he has not been taking very good care of himself since he became a [[Jerkass]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Put Onon a Bus]]}}: {{spoiler|Returns home and decides to quit manga forever, but could return, since he's not exactly happy with his new life.}}
** {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]}}: {{spoiler|On chapter 123.}}
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: {{spoiler|Goes to Nanamine's assistants and tries to tell them the truth about the rankings in an attempt to prevent the series from being canceled, but ends up alienating the few who remain}}.
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: At some point after Hideout Door is canceled.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]]: {{spoiler|In Chapter 128, a young girl offers to be a model for his portraits and allows him to take her home...only for it to be revealed that it was a bet between her friends to see if he was desperate enough to follow her.}}
Line 355:
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: To Nakai in Chapter 67.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Is quite blunt, but willing to help out when needed. Notably with Nakai, as he's typically fairly blunt about Nakai's poor luck with getting serialized, but {{spoiler|while barging in on him in Chapter 67, tells him that he's sacrificing his career and that he likes competing with him}}. And definitely more of a softie romantic than he would like you to believe.
** He even gets [[Ocular Gushers]] when he hears about {{spoiler|Mashiro's marriage promise}}.
* [[Junichi Suwabe]]
Line 410:
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Death Note (Manga)|Near]].
* [[Older Than He Looks]]: Shiratori looks like a child (like Near) but is a bit older than he looks.
* [[Rich in Dollars, Poor In Sense]]: He has no idea [[Epic Fail|how to do simple tasks]] and his father flat out admits that if he takes over his company, he'll run it to the ground.
Line 436:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: In the middle of the series, he was the Blue to Miura's Red.
* [[Senpai Kohai]]: Miura's senpai.
* {{spoiler|[[Shipper Onon Deck]]: After knowing the situation of Mashiro's engagement with Miho, decides to cheer him on.}}
* [[Verbal Tic]] / [[Signature Laugh]]: "Ha ha ha." He only has it in the first volume he appears (2); the first few pages of volume 3 tone it down until it's completely dropped in the same issue.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: His plan to have Iwase team up with Niizuma in order to get Ashirogi Muto and Aoki to push themselves even further.
