there is no doubt the author is woman but i loved death note! why can't i like this anime? damn...


No, it's actually created by two guys, just like the series! One does the artwork and the other writes the script.

Can't wait for episode 13, though I doubt I'll have time to watch it on Christmas :P

One of the few animes I was looking forward to and the shojo pacing is killing my enjoyment. Its like the only progress made is during the opening minute and the ending minute. That said, are there shojo fans who've read the series and still like it?

Good episode. :)

I don't think I have high-school graduation and I think I entered high-school earlier than them(like when I'm 14? Now, I'm 15 few weeks after my birthday). And I don't cry either. o.o

This. Azuki too
Man, I wish they'd focus less on the romance because that's just BORING. Now they're going to stretch it into ANOTHER season which means it will be slower than ever. Boy, this anime has been a real disappointment so far >_<
At least they finally graduate. Hopefully means less Azuki and more development

I dont know why you complain its pretty awesome. If it were like 3 chapter per episode it would be very bad. Like there will be non sense of accomplishement about getting into NEXT, and the future projects. The pacing is for that. I mean come on, how can you compact it to the point where everything happens too fast... they can take their sweet time ! And its one of the best anime in fall 2010, along with Kuragehime, Ika Musume, The world god only knows (well the librarian arc was boring tho)

Only face palm can explain my feeling of Mashiro and Azuki's love. Haven't they ever heard of the power of love ? By staying in together and with caring each other they can have more power to make their dreams come true. And I thought they were in high school. They seem quite tall for middle school students.

They are like if they once date, they will gonna go straight to hotel and take off their clothes and have wild sex and never do anything for living. But actually all they do is blush and can't say even a single word. More like shy nerds now. lol

This is seriously just puppy love, they did absolutely nothing together so they are only attracted to their looks. OMG I love the idea of mangaka stuff but please ! Mashiro just become gay with ur friend or do other girl or just stfu and stay away from that annoying love shat ! AHHHHHH!!

If this anime wasn't centered around such a listless "romance", I think it would be better. I can't help but feel like it was tacked on just to appeal to a wider demographic. Oh well

im loving this series! but i have a feeling that this is the turning point..and that alot of more hard times and downer-type episodes will come thru later on

i like mashiro/miho's relationship- its unrealistic in a way, but some of the strongest bonds come in the most unorthodox ways.

on to 13!!

Their "love" is a bit retarded but I have nothing against it

It would be too troublesome to have her as a girlfriend and work on being a mangaka.

I'm starting to feel disconnected from this anime because of that stupid relationship that's going on. I know it's part of the story but damn, it's completely illogical. Watch the same thing happen to them that happened to Saiko's uncle.

the waiting thing and how saikou and azuki act to eachother is so stupid and unrealistic.

if you really have such a strong crush on someone you wouldnt be like that, its just silly.

I'm really hating the "We won't date/speak/look at each other till our dreams have come true" thing, it's ridiculous and it's dragging the whole story down. I understand that if they're going to date at this fragile point of their "career" it could overwhelm them but seriously, they're not even able to normally walk past each other or talk a little about nothing of importance? >.>

They've graduated and are now going to high school but Miho is moving, so will this mean we won't see her again? I really love that girl, the ending was so sweet! Well let's see what's next but I sure love this kind of development!

This episode was a bit weaker than the previous one.

Hattori is really someone great, to believe so much in them. I don't think they'll beat Nizuma, they can get a good place though.

I think Miyoshi was right that it would be stupid if their last memory of them before meeting up again was so cold. The situation at the end was awkward xD

So now they're now in an higher school than before (I don't know the name, in Quebec, it's elementary, high school, college (which is for 18 years old +) and university). They've grown a lot, like 2-3 years, right? They really haven't changed physically or mentally though :P
Imagine Miho becoming a fat hikimori in the future, it would be an unexpected twist! Like she had an accident and cannot move anymore. Or maybe I'm a bit of a sadist.

Yea it's the only flaw I see in this series so far, would be perfect if their romance wasn't so lame.

I'm really enjoying this series, far more than several others in the recent past. It's got many positive elements... striving for personal best, goal oriented people, a young couple who are beyond their ages in maturity and willing to stay out of eachother's hair until they are successful.. so many good elements here. Even their competition is someone to learn from. His passion for manga, living and breathing manga every moment of the day, is inspiring for anyone who's embarked on a goal. Passion, persistence, not giving up in the face of rejection. This series makes me feel good; heck, it is ENERGIZING for the creative spirit.

Interesting side note: Maybe it's the "Death Note" style, but has anyone noticed how coffin-shaped objects are ever-present in this series?

The sheer density of Miho makes me really appreciate having Miyoshi around. God Miho is a dumbass, can't believe she was just going to head inside like that. So glad Miyoshi will be following them to their high school and she's actually pretty cool

Lawdy lawd, this has got to be the silliest relationship I saw in fiction. Mashiro and Miho are being so immature it makes my head hurt.
On the other hand I love both Takagi and Miyoshi, they're great for each other. Miyoshi is hot and Takagi is probably my favorite character so far in the series.
