** Chapter 86: [[spoiler: "No"]] To be more specific: [[spoiler: After the duo quit Tanto (their second manga), feeling it wasn't right for them, they managed to convince the head editor to give them three chances to make a better manga. The first two strike out despite experimenting and the third is their last chance. Using all the experience they gained so far, they feel the third one will get in. Despite the editors agreeing it's a good read, the head editor feels it won't be mainstream enough and decides to put it to a vote among the editors. The votes come to a tie with his being the final say... and the above is his reponse in that chapter. Three editors ultimately change their minds, unwilling to cancel a series on this standard or by this narrow a margin, but it was still quite shocking at the time.]]

* ArcWords: "A manga has to be interesting" is the main philosophy of the editorial department and is brought up frequently. ''Bakuman'' shows mangakas test a lot of various writing and art elements, but the core point is making it appealing to the readers. If you're not in the top of the magazine's rankings, you are generally not allowed to speak up, but if an editor thinks your writing could intriguing you're allowed to experiment.

This gets challenged with [[spoiler:Nanamine]], who makes two schemes trying to prove Jump's higher-ups don't care about their writers and what they do as long as the magazine sells.

Deleted line(s) 299,337 (click to see context) :
* ShoutOut: Near constantly, due to the in-story presence of ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' and various other manga. In the first chapter alone there are references to Manga/DeathNote, Manga/DragonBall, and Manga/OnePiece.
** Given that the creators are the same team who worked on ''Manga/DeathNote'', there were bound to be more than a few references:
*** The first volume has Mashiro and Takagi say 'I feel just like Gevanni!' while [[StalkingIsLove stalking someone]].
*** One chapter has Mashiro and Takagi sitting in similar positions as L and Light respectively.
*** Fukuda has also been seen wearing a very familiar looking jacket to one Misa Amane's.
*** Episode 9 had Takagi doing Light's over the top [[LargeHam hammy reactions]].
---> Putting our feelings into our fingertips...''' AND SENDING THEM!'''
*** In the Otter 11 side story, Otter 11 is hailed as a "modern day Kira".
*** Episode 20 had Hattori saying "Just as planned..." before biting into an apple.
*** One of the up and coming actresses listed in Chapter 21 plays a character in St. Visual Girls' Academy called '''Misa'''e '''Amane'''gawa.
*** In Chapter 82, a chapter of Otters 11 has the main character [[Manga/DeathNote crashing into a TV studio with a truck]]; both scenes are even''practically identical'', down to the layout. And the TV studio is named "Sumire TV", a play on the original's "Sakura TV" (both are girl's names derived from names of flowers).
%%*** Chapter 127 has this visually comparative panel between Nanamine and Light. Also shown here in Chapter 126. The anime gives us [[http://imgur.com/NF6EIVi this]].
** There is another ''Jump'' title [[EasterEgg hidden right inside]] ''Bakuman'''s own. If you cover the very bottom of ''BAKUMAN.'' to hide the period, it becomes ''RAKIIMAN (Luckyman)'', a work theorized by many to be the [[PenName writer's]] previous work.
*** Becoming more of a LampshadeHanging, at least three different ''Luckyman'' books are scattered on the first volume cover.
*** Not to mention ''Super Hero Legends'' is a WholePlotReference to ''Tottemo! Luckyman'', which would be the author's [[WriteWhatYouKNow first work to get animated]].
** Interestingly, a ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' poster of Yusei Fuudo was seen in the Shonen Jump offices despite there being no manga version of the series at the time.
** The characters make references to manga published in magazines other than Jump, but only to manga that predate or had been running during Jump's early years.
** In the first episode of the anime, one shot of a manga store shelf shows the ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'' and ''Manga/DeathNote'' mangas side-by-side, ''Hikaru No Go'' being the one which made artist Takeshi Obata popular even before ''Manga/DeathNote''.
** One of the names they pitched, Hitmen 10, is probably a ShoutOut to the Creator/Suda51's games ''VideoGame/Killer7'' and ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''.
** There was even a reference to Mr. and Mrs. Smith when they were discussing Hitmen 10, although not by name.
** Of all things, ''[[WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines Dick Dastardly]]'' gets a passing reference in regards to his RealLife DubNameChange.
%%** And There's Ichigo from Bleach.
%%** And there's also Hanamichi Sakuragai from ''Manga/SlamDunk'' here.
%%** Let's not forget this Music/{{Nirvana}} tee. They may not mean the band, though.
%%** And here's Shinichi Kudo on one of the covers .
** Mashiro's insistence on working on ''Detective Trap'' despite being hospitalized mirrors the final days of Creator/OsamuTezuka, who too refused to stop working even in his terminal state. When you consider that, it gets much more relieving when not only Mashiro recovers, but also Jump decides not to cancel ''Trap'' ([[spoiler:at least not by that point]]).
** Eiji's excursion as to what a manga hero's eyes look like (comparing Mashiro's eyes to them in the process) includes drawing the eyes of [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku (in Super Saiyan mode)]], [[Manga/OnePiece Luffy]], Manga/{{Naruto}} and [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Ichigo]].
** In Chapter 59, Reborn! and Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! were mentioned.
%%** And, impossibly, here's one to ''themselves''
** Chapter 94, while discussing art styles, includes scenes from Naruto, Bleach and One Piece.
** Chapter 98's color splash page has True Human represented by a [[Series/DoctorWho Weeping Angel]].
** Wait...A homeless boy with a nice hat who is good at drawing wandering in the cold with only his trusty mutt as companion? [[Literature/ADogOfFlanders I sure hope its not following this]].
** When Mashiro takes up a temporary work as Niizuma's assistant in volume 3, he goes to introduce himself. Niizuma, not noticing who he is talking to (remember that he likes Ashirogi Muto's work), replies saying "Yoroshiku Mechadoc", which is the name of a racing manga that was serialized on Jump in the early [=80s=].
** Chapter 115 has one which seems to be a direct challenge addressed to Manga/{{Enigme}}, Jump's newest suspense hit. Chapter 117 has the author of the one-shot admit that he "kinda stole the setting" from it.
** The inference of the timeframe when ''Classroom of Truth'' (mentioned under NextSundayAD) takes place brings to mind the protagonists of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', who are also 14-year-olds born in 2001.
** [[http://www.sakuratv.com/ Sakura TV]] makes an appearance at one point.
** Chapter 151, the new pitch the duo are working on as a means to battle it out with Eiji's new piece. The character designs resemble ''Manga/{{Zetman}}'', and the story itself about two combatting protagonists, one for justice and one for corruption. On reading it it is not far off to suddenly think of ''Manga/DeathNote'' and ''Anime/CodeGeass''... especially the latter when you take into account the Brainwashing abilities of their new characters.
** The uniform of the characters of Nanamine's manga ''Classroom of Truth'' seem to come straight out of ''Manga/DGrayMan'' (which was initially published in the Weekly Jump). The heroine is even an expy of Lenalee.
** Miho Azuki is almost an exact carbon copy of [[Manga/{{Is}} Iori Yoshizuki from]] ''[[Manga/{{Is}} I"s]]'', and not just in terms of appearance. Both are aspiring young women who enter the competitive Japanese media idol industry, with Azuki getting involved in voice acting and Iori becoming a film/stage actress. Their romances with their respective male leads are also quite identical, with the main difference being that Miho and Mashiro's relationship is far less {{Wangst}}y than Iori and Ichitaka's.[[note]]([[ChickMagnet Takagi]] is the one who gets stuck with the {{Love Triangle}}s instead, and even those don't last long)[[/note]]
