Awwww poor Miyoshi. Hopefully things will be cleared soon. Would like to see more romance-based drama though :P

Can't wait to see how their manga turns out. The main character looks heaps interesting. Miura was able to highlight some good points.

Things are happening fast in Bakuman. I didn't think Miyoshi would get called so soon as the next chapter. But I guess it should be expected considering how much time she spends with Ashirogi. Darn I hate freeloaders.

It was a very good chapter! Aoki is starting to get feelings for Shujin. She's so sweet.
But somehow I don't think Miyoshi will disappear. She's Miho's best friend after all. It would probably be a little problematic... or would it?

Miura's getting owned by his co-workers. Result of the gag manga coming up next! How could it get a nice rating after all the bad vibes? I don't want it to get a nice rating ;[ They still feel so unsure of the plot and the characters and so on... There's not enough passion!

Damn it, we got to see Miho and Miyoshi in this chapter *vomits violently*

I dont mind the gag manga, but i dont really want it to do welll. Although if everyone keeps saying Money and Intelligence why the hell dont they just do a serialised version of that lol

Still need to see more of that dashing mangaka of Otters though and Eiji too :)

I'm also not liking the gag manga idea too. Although the premise of the invention thing sounds all good and dandy, the editor seems to be taking control of the entire manga itself. I wonder if that's really a good thing. I would rather see them make a somewhat serious manga like Money and Intelligence. But that's just me I guess.

God. I'd wish for them to have good ratings but not with this manga. I kinda laughed at the heartshaped hair, but... that's just not their style. I'm still with mystery for both of them.
Oh and, I kinda felt sorry for Miyoshi. A little tiny bit. But I don't know why I get the feeling that she's going to cause problems to Mashiro, too, even if she doesn't want it. Like, when Miho said, she'd be angry at Mashiro if he really hid and bla bla bla. Damn Miyoshi.
Rather see Takagi with Aoki. Really.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

the heart shape hair is just awful. I still don't like the gag manga idea at all. I'm hoping they fail hard and Miura gets fired. Seems the romance is really taking a backseat with all Miho has gotten lately is this small appearance here. Aoki should get closer to Takagi now hopefully.

How's Miyoshi a better fit?
Of course, I pity her. But I don't think she's suited for Shujin. She's a freeloader, who suddenly, right before she sees the letter cleans the studio. She never even did that before, so why now? Plot effect except for now? None. Helps in becoming mangakas? More like making it slow down, remember when she wanted to write novels? Oh you mean the inking? Doesn't necessarily have to be Miyoshi. Assistants do that too.

Miyoshi has been supporting the duo from the start, encouraging them and helping them with the manga. Mashiro said himself, it takes longer to draw without Miyoshi. She may have tidied the apartment more but it hasn't been metioned. She isn't a freeloader.
I don't get why people dislike her. I like her and will never accept Shujin with Aoki or anyone introduced so far other than Miyoshi.
I think her stupidity is sweet. She is energetic and seems to be able to cheer them up sometimes, She really cares about Shujin and is kind of a balance to his more serious side.
Aoki is great, but my own personal experience makes me root for Miyoshi x Takagi.

I just wish he would talk to her. It can't be a good sign in the relationship if he doesn't care that she hasn't been around for a while, or that he hasn't bothered talking to her. So I am bracing myself for the worst.
Maybe Miyoshi will try and take revenge by making a manga too, since everyone else seems to be jumping on the bandwagon. All the inking experience she has.. XD
Anyways, so glad Takagi is not my boyfriend. He's a bit of a jerk at times.

Supporting the duo isn't unique here. Everybody except Iwase and Saiko's mother was really positive about it. Aoki also supports the duo, she actually helps Shujin develop his manga and even inspired the heroine of it. Miyoshi may help the by inking but that's it. I don't think Ohba-sama ever thought of Miyoshi as a cleaner until now because she'll look even better and people will want her to come back. The key trick also felt very obvious, symbolic for her come back. I will not be surprised if she comes back soon. Otherwise Miyoshi is the hyperactive attention stealer, when the focus is supposed to be on Shujin and Saiko, the mangakas, she gets loads of panels for doing nothing. She's there for the same support that Miho does, does she really need that many panels? Comparing with how Miho gets none. Stating the obvious is also a fun trait of hers. And I'm bothered with how she hits people, even though it was a few chapters ago. Her stupidity isn't sweet anywhere. I don't see the need for it.

We've already seen this kind of relationship in Death Note.

gag manga has a good premise to it, although i am not a fan of the heart shaped hair. another thing i don't like is, if you are having a problem with your girlfriend say it to her clearly that she is misunderstanding the situation. why put it off... nice cliff hanger though

I feel bad for Miyoshi, but at the same time I think Aoki is better suited for Takagi. I don't know what to think... I just hope things work out at the end. :x I want Miyoshi to be happy dammit. >0< Also, I don't like the gag manga either. The heart shaped hairstyle looks awkward. I think they need to do something serious. We'll see what the results say, though...

Plus, I'm not digging the gag manga all too much myself. Miura is the one taking the reins, and it annoys me how pushy and biased he is about it. He's putting personal before professional, so I hope they get back into their own groove soon.

UGH! I hate the gag manga, there is absolutely nothing that I like about it, the characters they designed are generic, and it just doesnt fit them at all. I dont want it to do well because i dislike it so much...

they should just serialize money and intelligence, it seems to be pretty popular with everyone, i dont understand why they havent done that yet.

OHAI MIHO, forgot that you were in this manga!

This new manga from ashirogo is gonna fail. They''ll realize that gag manga isn't really something they're made of. I think the writer is doing this because the next manga ashirogi is going to write will be a BIG hit. And to emphasize that, this one has to be a failure and then they''ll show their true strength.

I just happen to have this mind-reading capability of manga-writers. ^^

MOOOOAAAAAARRR!! XD.... Quite a chapter... so Miyoshi went to Miho for advice huh? Looks like some drama will come out from this mess... a Big ole Drama that will hit the duo base.... I think they were to engrossed on their manga to notice the little but clear clues that told them to be aware of Miho... It's sad that Shujin is not hurried to apologize for his rudeness... and little communication of his current situation.... Will Miho get on this drama? Will she make a fuss.... But I gotta admit she has the wits... she immediately supposed that Saiko is aware of all the mess...

SO we got deep into the gag manga... I kinda agree it's not their style... but hey they're genius mangakas so if they're goof enough thay have to be able to pull of that and much more!!! Gag or whatever.... Dunno where's leading Ohba-san leading us to, but I'm pretty much sure this will have a different ending.... I'd risk myself to say this will end in a way similar to Saiko's Uncle... but it's still early.... will the gag manga be their only hit? NOOOO it won't I know it... they0re too much to just be remebered by gags... Oh heart-shaped hair? LOL I liked it... but he did reminded me of the main of Digimon too... scarf included XD

Yamahisa is a genius since the beginning... he just makes things in a dirty way... anything else besuides that it's pretty clear that he's a sneaky weasel hahahaha... Oh he almost made Aoki do something nasty... and pair her up with a man again hahahaha... Oh Aoki... are you falling for Shujin too?... I love the Kaya x Akito x Aoki love triangle hehehe

Damned cliffhanger... so awesome... now i wanna read next chappie naaaao! XD

Stupid gag manga... Bad manga is bad manga.... I hope their gag manga places last place. They might as well be trying their hardest to make the biggest flop. True, some gag mangas are extremely successful, but normally they have a deeper story too... Yes, the heart shaped hair looks either like butt cheeks, or boobs.. experiment gone wrong?

I really dislike Aoki and Iwase right now, home-wreckers... and Miura, this isn't his manga. He fails as an editor. Hopefully the manga will progress some time... It feels like every time it progresses, it takes a few steps back.

I don't like the whole idea and design of their gag manga and their hero looks retarded, even for a gag manga... =/ I kinda hope it doesn't do well so they can make a manga that's more their forte...I'm sick of all thus gag manga stuff now

Also Miyoshi annoyed me this chapter, seriously when girls do the whole jumping to conclusions and refusing to even listen to what the guy has to say thing (since their conclusions are usually wrong) it really irks me....and I'm a girl >_>

Um he DID try talking to her...and she refused to even listen to him, and hung up on him. I'd get frustrated if I was him too. And personally I'd love Takagi as my boyfriend he seems like a lot of fun and smart, and he can be really caring. *coughandyoucantgowrongwithahotguyinglassescough*
