DAMN, who was that goddess-looking woman staring at Takagi in the op?

Huray for season 2. Argh already feel like it's going to suck to wait a week per episode again ><. Lol that genius writer (forgot his name), was really different than I imagined he would be. Kinda hikikomori guy xD.

It might just be me but this episode felt so much faster than anything the first season did. Hopefully it stays that way.

Great as always, fantastically paced, plus Hiramaru's first appearance and a Tommy Heavenly ED. And we even got a glimpse of Aoki. Just awesome.

Solid transition from the first season to the second season. There was any unnecessarily drama (or any at all) and everything seemed to fit into place

I didn't quite like Miura's voice at first, but it grew on me by the end of the episode. A little early, but I really hope we get a 3rd season too.

Marathoned last season so I can follow along in step this year. A good start. Too bad Fukuda wasn't at the party, I would have liked to see how he handled it.

Well that was a great way to kick off season 2! I really enjoyed this episode, season 2's opening/ending song is pretty damn good too! :D

And man, I miss Hattori as their editor already! He was a pretty awesome character. :(

Really liking the OP/ED for this season, they're both so great!

Hattori leaving them was really unfortunate, I really liked that guy. Not really getting into the new editor, hopefully he does something later on to make me think differently, but I doubt he'll ever be better.

Epic show returns, I'll marathon this within a week since I really want to see the third season as it airs.
New OP and ED are great but I'm missing the old ones already!

Ye series is back for Season 2! I like this OP better tbh as the other one was too lighthearted..

Hiramaru looks like a talented individual but his personality is bloody cold. Other than that, he seems pretty chill @ that party. What a boss. Oh, also look who's back:



Also, that ED song is pretty damn good. Just saying.

It was a good start for the second season. I look forward to their work as mangaka together with their new assistants now. :P

I don't know why but they don't seem to have a good hand at picking the opening songs. I didn't really like the opening of season one and now I think the song isn't bad but it's not something that would take a top spot in my mind. It doesn't catch my interest at all. :(
The first ending is really good and I like the endings from season one, too... but the opening is more important in my opinion and then the opening songs of Bakuman always go over the full season and the endings are split at the halfpoint. ~.~

I was skeptic with the fact that there would be a lot of new personnage, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The new editor seemed a bit too much of the goofy type, but he kinda grew on me. He seem likable and determined. I just hope that Hattori will not just fade away, he was one of my favorite character from this anime.

The new assistants seem interresting. I like the leader, he look very professional. The new girl will surely had an interresting dynamic. I can already smell trouble from bowl hair cut guy.

The party was hilarious. That new genius seem so great, he look like an excentric depressive xD
Nizuma was great as always. I don't understand why Aoki was there, she wasn't published, right?

Miho seemed depressed at the end. She smilled, but the fact that she was lurking in the dark was weird. Also, in the preview, Mashiro say ''Why did Azuki send that texto?''. My guess is that she probably said that she doesn't know if she'll be able to fulfill her promise. Maybe she was fired from the anime or that they stopped the production.

This season's OP & ED are definitely better :) Gonna miss Hattori being their editor but it seems their new one isn't half bad, though kinda goofy lol. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

The new editor... he's not bad, but I'll be missing Hattori. Though I guess he'll still be visible somewhere in the episodes.
It's good there is one girl to help, because it means that Miyoshi will be there too. ^^

Wait!!! Something doesn't make sense!

At the meeting with the new editor, he told the two dudes that they would get 12,000 Yen per page for their manga, right? That's fine for their first chapter 'cause they were told to come up with a 50-page chapter.

Then afterwards, they would do an average of 27 pages per chapter, right? That's 324,000 Yen per chapter. And that's a respectable sum for two high schoolers to be earning every month.

BUT the editor also told them that an assistant cost up to 160,000 Yen every month, assuming said assistant works a 4-day work week. AND the two dudes had to hire 3 assistants! In other words, 480,000 Yen.

You know what that means, right?

THEY ARE FREAKING IN DEBT EVERY MONTH!

So not only do they not earn a single cent for their work, they have to come up with an additional 156,000 Yen every month to pay their assistants. HOW? :o

Did I get the wrong subs for this episode or did I miss the part where the editor told them salaries for assistants would be covered by the company?
