He made a real good point though. That's not the style you would use for a kids manga magazine. Too complex for them to follow and it has those Fist of the North Star butch type of men.

True. Takeing a look at all the really popular mangas/animes (at least in the shonen genre), one would see that none of them look all that serious. I would even say that type of drawing is more defined.

Great episode, but I'm starting to hate Eiji, damn kid acting like he's the boss...
The preview looked interesting, they'll meet some new people which are more important in the business.

Poor Takagi couldn't cope with two imposing women, that part was really funny. And what about Niizuma? He's nuts! I'd like him to be introduced "properly", he seems to me a very interesting character.

Hohoho, he sure is popular with the girl and well pretty funny but imo he took the right actions and well it did still resolve him in getting a gf but also by revealing Mashiro relationship secret but well that does make it even more interesting! Either way let's see what's next!

That was a glorious slap from Miyoshi! xD
I couldn't stop laughing :P

Iwase (or whatever her name was) was quite selfish when she tried to convince him to stop. I mean, yeah, he's wasting his potential, but not following his dream could also be something he regret all his life.

What the fuck was that ending? xD
It was just hilarious, I don't know how to understand Eiji.

I laughed so much when Takagi was agonizing about being popular with girls. Takagi is definitely my favorite character in this anime. Love him!

Btw, it's funny how Mashiro is always turning Takagi's work down and it's his art that really needs to be made better. But they do make a good team!

Miyoshi is definitely growing on me! The more I watch anime, the more I find that dating in Japan must be difficult. I understand they're teenagers, though. :P

I cannot wait to see what the next story idea is! I wonder if the creator recycled his old manga ideas for the storyboards for Mashiro and Takagi.

I can't believe Akito got suspended for a week for giving that bastard that badass punch that he absolutely deserved.

"But in a way, boys being a little bad makes them attractive, doesn't it?" Azuki's mom is cool, I like her. :3

"I saw Jack. I thought it was amazing. Congratulations." I was afraid Azuki was never going to talk to Moritaka...writing works, and it seemed to lift his spirits.

What kind of insane logic did Akito get screwed by? "I touched Iwase's hand, therefore I'm going out with her."

Iwase really ended up making the decision for Akito. "Please quit manga." "Bitch that's not an option lol"

Eiji wtf stop making autism noises at the bird

This episode somewhat reminded me of Gintama, I guess the comedy was similarly great. I was thinking about how why Mashiro's the only one getting his love-life developed, and now suddenly Takagi becomes the primary focus of "love." Good episode.

Miyoshi really got to not only officially be in a relationship with Takagi, but go out with him with getting to punch him multiple times in the face as someone who does martial arts. Wow she's lucky. But given the intense confrontation at Takagi's house with her, Iwase and Takagi and him not making his feelings clear to both of them previously, he frankly deserved them lol. Good episode though as a whole, and it's nice seeing Takagi not let the suspension hold him back at all when it came to creating ideas for the next manga that he and Mashiro would work on together. Shame that Iwase was in love with the genius side of Takagi who would always outperform her and make her do her best in studies, and not in love with Takagi as a whole since the moment he was committed to that manga dream in front of her while going to a school far below his and her standards, she just walked out in tears (especially since they won't be going to the same school together and no way in hell she has a real reason to drop down to North High level).

(Takagi x Miyoshi) > (Mashiro x Azuki)

Gotta say, the little 'battle' in Takagi's house was an interesting dynamic for the show. Never anticipated that happening. But very enjoyable. It had a sort of relaxed pace that gave the viewer a break from the regular tension and stress of perfecting a manga.

Also, after watching a lot of anime, you start to pick up on little aspects of the Japanese culture, like the perceived "popular phase" schoolkids claim to go through. It was funny seeing Takagi perceive to go through one. :)

LOL, takagi just should learn #1 rule in women - don't mess with them, and don't think that when you "explain yourself" you actually convince them.

loved the part where takagi's manga is what made his "final choice".

kaya sure is great character, really caring for takagi.

and though iwase was kinda ass, they still made her likeable.

Takagi sure is popular. But for the first time in (my) anime/manga history, a dude actually explained the misunderstandings that led to them thinking they were dating/in love (when Takagi explained that it was just a handshake and that he only wanted to talk to her not a confession)... but afterwards it was still the same lol

In Takagi's defense, those situations were very clearly misunderstandings. Though, I think Miyoshi is the clear choice anyway. So, all's well that ends well?

gag humor isn't bad at all, it's probably one of the mangaka doing an homage to whoever was in their life

the love triangle was resolved easily
