Age: 15 (debut), 26 (end) Birthdate: November 3, 1992 Eiji Nizuma is a high school genius mangaka who has been drawing ever since he was young. Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi consider him their rival. He was supposed to serialize a manga called Yellow Hit but he wanted to draw a different manga, Crow, which appeared in Akamaru Jump instead. His assisants were initially Nakai and Fukuda (Mashiro also worked for him temporarily before Detective Trap was serialized). His editor is Hattori Yujiro. He once demanded to be allowed to end one series he hated if he ever made it as the most popular author in Jump. Niizuma is slightly naive, but can also be serious and calculating when he wants to. Eiji tends to act conceited because he is hailed as a genius; however, after working on Crow for quite a long time, he grew more humble, even claiming to not be "good enough of a Mangaka to be judging other people's work" when asked by his editor to judge for the Golden Future Cup. (He judges anyway, but is not very helpful, only expressing his interest in Ashirogi and Ryu Shizuka). He tends to make noises and sound effects when drawing or writing his manga. Eiji is constantly chastised by his editor, and at first seems to be rather oblivious toward his rivals' feelings toward him, even expressing great excitement when he meets Ashirogi Muto and saying he is their fan. He is a great lover of manga and his opinion are valued by everyone at Jump, including his rivals. He refers to himself as an "Eternal Boy" and that is why he writes Shonen manga. He has only ever had a crush on one girl, back in elementary school, which paired with his naïveté most likely explains his lack of success in the Super Leaders' Love Fest.
Age: 24 (currently) Birthday: June 9, 1994 He is an assistant to Ashirogi Muto when they publish Perfect Crime Party. He is a year younger than Mashiro and Takagi. After he became a finalist in the Tezuka Award he decided to drop out of design school and concentrate on manga. Moriya seems polite but it is revealed in his thoughts he has a very negative view on others. He can be quite snippy at times. Moriya believes manga should be about the art and creativity, and you shouldn't worry about popularity because you won't get anywhere if you do. (Source: Bakuman Wikia)
Manda is the personal summon of Orochimaru. Manda was the largest snake in the world, before being recently out-sized by his clone, Manda II. He easily towers over buildings, trees, and large rock formations. Due to his length, he is even larger than Gamabunta and Katsuyu, easily coiling around Katsuyu and having more length behind him, and he could open his jaws wide enough to swallow Gamabunta whole. He is colored purple, and has black rings running down intervals on his body. He has massive fangs, though they are arranged in a way similar to that of a constrictor snake instead of a viper or other venomous snake species, presumably carrying venom in them from the way they were designed, and green eyes. He also has four horn-like protrusions on his head.
