On Order: Nendoroid Takagi Akito and Mashiro Moritaka

Since I’ve already written about how much I like Bakuman, this pre-order probably comes as no surprise. Bt Nendoroid pre-orders have been a lot more rare for me these days. It seems like most of the characters being made into nendoroids lately are repeats of common characters, or a character I don’t know at all. When it comes to nendoroids I usually need to have some connection to the characters in order to want to pre-order them more-so than with regular scaled figures. With figures I’m easily overcome by beauty and don’t care that I have no idea who the character is. Also if you include these two pre-orders my last 5 nendoroid orders were all men (Takagi, Mashiro, Ciel, Sebastian, and Neuro). My last female was Yako (Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro). Well, I look forward to putting this duo next to my Light and L nendoroids.

But even though the series didn’t go in the direction I wanted it to…I can’t deny the obsessive hold it had over me for the first 7 volumes. So this recommendation from a fellow fan (and some bubbling curiosity about the extreme change in story genre from what Death Note was) pushed me to try their newest series.
