It is. Absolutely worth reading, if you like those other series ^^ I guess it's the less popular of all these, but that's not saying much, since those other series are so extremely popular. Also the artist is female - yay for female shonen mangaka  |

even in german?! Holy smoking, they finally do something right! I see a bright future for manga!
I like this manga already, probably because i'm an aspiring mangaka too, will start my first publishing next year. This won't have any big tweeest like deathnote, but it will be enjoyable, i can tell at least that! I only hope the ending will be good |

I don't agree. I think their browser is really good! It's probably the easiest way to read digital manga that I've come across so far (even better than Adobe Reader). The only barrier that I see is that it's only for Windows, but then again, Apple doesn't really have a big presence in Japan yet. It'd be nice if they developed a Mac and Linux release and then allowed other companies to use it. I wouldn't mind if this browser became some sort of an industry standard.
Anyway, for the link that ANN posted, there's a big button that says "Read Now." I'd suggest pressing that button if you want to read it (after downloading the browser, that is).
EDIT: Holy cats! I just looked around on their site some more, and the chapters that they posted for Death Note are all in color! |

Oh wow, you're right! All the manga expect Bakuman are in full color...I wonder how long it took to do that. 
And in case anyone was wondering, all the manga expect Bakuman use the Viz translations, but leave the sound effects untranslated in their original Japanese versions. Looks nice. |

I just have no interest in that sort of proprietary sofware download. Comicbook Reader works great for me. |
