C79 Bakuman Bakulove 3 Linda Project =link= -

The writing excels in characterizing Hattori not just as a stern editor, but as a man haunted by regret. The story unfolds with Hattori observing Mashiro and Azuki’s unwavering commitment. Unlike the canon where he is often an obstacle or a cynical observer, c79 writes Hattori as someone seeking redemption through his current charges. He sees the ghost of Linda in Mashiro’s dedication, but rather than predicting failure, he begins to hope for their success where he failed.

If you are looking for official, canonical stories involving these characters, you can read the complete Bakuman manga published by Viz Media, or watch the three-season anime adaptation which faithfully adapts the entire journey of the creators. c79 bakuman bakulove 3 linda project
