This show is getting better and better but I'll be honest: I abhor the OP. It is so, so bad. The song is just awful and doesn't fit the feel of the rest of the show. They better get a new song in the next few episodes, or I'll probably die.


I do not understand peoples tastes hence why they differ. I think the OP is fantastic and it fits the romance at the beginning of Bakuman perfectly. This EP was awesome but yes the present scene could have been a lot better.

It was great I cracked up when the editor told Mashiro and Shujin they got into NEXT and Mashiro was like "THIS IS BETTER THAN GETTING INTO HIGH SCHOOL!"

Good developments and great entertainment value overall, mainly due to Shujin and Miyoshi's relationship and characters. Moritaka is ever so irritating though.

I do agree that the romance part of the anime is either not coming out right, or it's not as good as the manga...

I'm disappointed that it just seems so immature and badly written...

I mean these are the guys that created DEATH NOTE, I expect a really GREAT story, so far it hasn't been all that impressive.

I just hope it gets better, I don't think this is an idiotic harem or loli show or anything stupid like that, but I will agree that parts of the romance is VERY ANNOYING and unnecessary.


you're right...i believe it's not as good as the manga. in a way, (in my opinion at least) this is like a battle manga but with your manga as a weapon. we have protagonists, rivals, etc. and basically the romance, as with any other battle manga, is just a thing on the side. in bakuman, it just so happened that the dream or goal they're working so hard for is inevitably linked to romance so it should be expected to play a significant role on their quest.......

but then, it's just that the directors chose to focus so much on the romance part that it's so annoying. mashiro romanticizing didn't take up much panels in the manga but now JC Staff gives these scenes more airtime. i've been reading this manga ever since it came out years ago but i didn't feel like i was reading a shoujo-ish manga. i was (still am) always looking forward to the next manga they work on and whether they succeed on getting it serialized and other stuff like that. they're good at destroying their resource material i guess. :c

anyway, this is all i'm going to say, if things play out well with the animation producers, the next parts will DEFINITELY get better. it's just getting started. tsugumi ohba is a very good writer. :)

about the episode:
> i don't remember eiji being THAT weird in the manga. i mean there's no doubt he has different things going on, but his animated version is so.......*insert appropriate word here*
> saiko and shujin... i was so happy to see then so happy... :3

anyways, great episode! :D

It was time-skip. Time-skips are frequent in this series because nobody wants to sit and watch a manga being completely drawn.

Can't wait until we see the more detailed version of Brain and Intelligence(I think this was the title).

lol Bakuman is using real mangas and celebrities. Hyde looks like Hyde but the guy beside him doesn't have awesome purple hair. So they totally changed him. =[ doesn't look like him.

This episode was awsome. Eiji in the beginning and Saiko and Shuujin scene were the best ! :D i abused the replay button like 4 times X'D

Although to see Eiji in a suit was really weird.. SUITS don't SUIT him! XD

Agree, and he's starting to get in my nerves.

The worst part of this anime is the love thing. It's like a lolicon harem ecchi story. lol Mashiro is just so overeacting and it's annoying. I just want the manga part. How the story will be and how they will make the dream come true and maybe some bromance. lol

Lolicon harem ecchi? Where did you even get that from?

I guess I don't mind Eiji so much after this episode. He's so weird it's kind of funny.

I take back what I said before about Miyoshi possibly being irritating hanging around those two - I take it back completely. She's complete win with Takagi. Their date was so adorable. I can't believe she wore shorts in winter! Takagi blushing looking at the other couple and trying to act like them by offering Miyoshi his arm.. that was so cute.

"This is the happiest moment of my life!"
"Mine too! This is so much better than getting into high school!"
"Yatta! Yatta! Yatta~!"

Oh my God, I loved that. XD
This is probably my favorite episode so far.


LHE? probably some kind clerical error.

Mashiro has zero chemistry with Azuki. When they speak I don't believe they are in love.

How can you analyze their speaking, if they dont speak with each other?

But ye the relationship between those two is quite unsatisfying

this was a really nice episode. Starting from Takagi´s date which was just so cute and sweet and ending with them getting published in NEXT

I love how Mashiro said that the feeling is better than getting accepted to high school xD

Mashiro´s and Azuki´s love might be unsatisfying now but I think it´s interesting to see them loving each other even without words...

Good episode! Loving Nizuma, he's so awesome lol XD
K, so, obviously they were gonna make it in, but doing so to make Nizuma look better was like WOAH! FIGHTO! XD
Lots of awesome Takagi moments! Love him too XD
Anyways, so yea, this whole non relationship thing because their love is so strong really doesn't make me feel for them but whatever. Not too many annoyings moments this time :D
Totally knew it was gonna turn into high school with such a fast pace XD

So it looks like they're in direct competition with Eiji now. I like how the editior set it up not as an insult, but as a challenge. Still can't believe they're only in middle school. I guess things will get more hardcore once they get into high school.
