Not a great chapter. I honestly don't see what they can really do with this to make it more interesting or as in interesting as it was at the beginning. Ah well good riddance to the tubby guy.

Lol, yeah, ever since Nakai did what he did to Aoki, he went on my shit-list. Though I'm happy to see him leave, I'm sure he'll be back in some kind of role in the future.

As for Ashirogi...well, I just think their editor is not a good fit for them. Comedy just isn't their thing, and you could really tell just by looking at the main character of their gag manga, that was going to go nowhere. -_-

Good riddance indeed, though I fully expect that it's not the last we've seen of him. Ah, they're good people. I wouldn't have been as forgiving.

I don't know where their confidence in Miura is coming from. Well, I'm sure it'll be fine if they just throw in more gags! *Sigh*

Pretty awesome chapter, in my opinion. Well, maybe it's because Nakai has left. And I hope Miura is the next one, he is really devastating Ashirogi's career. They should just ignore Miura and forget about making a gag manga.

Didn't really like this chapter. I hate all the useless drama involving a useless character...just let Nakai leave, he's annoying anyway.

I'm glad they didn't get serialized.

I hope Ashirogi gets a new editor soon. Seriously, Miura sucks. I haven't liked him from the very start and now he's more irritating and unsuccessful than ever.

As for Nakai, I'm pretty sure he'll yet show up 'cause even though he was such a jerk recently, once upon a time he was quite a nice guy and I don't really think authors got rid of him for good *sighs* .

And I miss Eiji!

Awesome. Now the stage is set for a new manga style [hopefully] vs Aoki. I can just see Nakai's return on a tractor to give the Ashirogi guys a lift in some intense manner.

Nakai is indeed annoying (actually, a lot more than that), but that's one of the things I admire in Bakuman: even an "useless" character has his own moments of glory or despair. In a story like Bakuman, focusing on characters other than the protagonist is very important.

finally a new chapter (i had to read ch. 68 ti remember what was going on).

so basicaly they don't get serialised, so no marriage, aoki gets in and bb kenichi gets out (predictable imo).

and nakai proves agai that he is an jerk and asshole. seriously what is his problem? whta happen to him? i still remember when he was drawing in the snow for love and now is jerking around? if he comes back them please make him the old nakai!

I don't mind Nakai leaving. He never left much of an impression on me.

Seemed kinda like Nakai would come back. I'm pretty sure he will. Too much fuss about him leaving, anyway.
Also, agreeing with others that said that Miura sucks. He sucks big time. Ahirogi definitely should get Hattori back. Definitely. And I hope they will because as it seems now, they won't ever get serialized again with Miura as their editor.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

Figure that Tanto wouldn't get serialized. Miura sucks as their editor anyways, always looking for freaking jokes. I hope they get Hattori back, or at least a new editor that doesn't suck, but most likely not.
And finally Nakai got what he deserved. Freaking fatass, but knowing all the fuss about him leaving and all that crap. The next chapter will involve him in some way. Not really looking forward to that.

So they didn't get serialized, guess the mangaka doesn't want Takagi to get marred so soon :D
But I hope Miura will give up on his gag fetish (but i don't think he'll understand it soon), even if they do get serialized with that sort of story, an anime version will be a shitty one

Nakai really deserved what he got, in the end he made a wise choice to leave

I've a feeling that it will be Ashirgoi Muto v.s Iwase's manga (may be Nakai as the artist :D) for the next serialization meeting. Hattori will bank on this chance to make the heroes have a tough time

P.S. Fukuda owns a Harley Davidson :D

Sayonara, Nakai. And never come back!

Glad that Ashirogi don't get serialized. Eager to know what's their next creation.

Fukuda and Aoki look nice together. I wonder if they will be a pair in the future.

Oh!... I really liked this chappie... after the half month break this turned out to be an interesting one... I really loved the drama... Dunno why you dislike it people... The drama is quite interesting sometimes... Plus it wasn't everything about drama!!! We also had some jokes there... Especially the trio faces... huh I mean duo... I'm counting in Miyoshi XD... she doesn't counts :P...

Well I don't get it why they didn't make it into the Serialization meeting... I was expecting them to get in and have a new series.... But I guess it's too early for them... and so as someone has pointed out... This will be an Iwase versus Ashirogi confrontation.... I'd love to see something like that.... That sounds really interesting!!! And Miyoshi... you're dreams were broken!!! Well I guess there's a meaning for this too... Maybe this means they're not made for each other... maybe they won't marry never eva!

So then Nakai leaves completely disappointed of a manga career... I wonder what kind of things does Akita has for him... A big farm? A house... I don't get it why he leaves... but man that's what he deserves for being such an ass... Kato did well cutting his wings in the exact moment before he flew way too up high XD... She broke his spirit.... and Aoki crushed it... but at least he's alive... Even such jerk dun deserves to die...

I feel sorry for Takahama thou... Miura's defenitely the problem!!! Ashirogi should completely ignore him and find someone better than that guy... He's not the type of editor they need... They need someone new... and better than Miura at least!!! Oh and the mystery guy manga was so close... who would say it huh... Maybe Iwase + Eiji + Arai-sensei + Aoki + Mystery guy will be the undefeatable combo they will have to sort out and get a new place on the WSJ lineup... GO ASHIROGI!!!

I miss Eiji too!! XD

Hmm so they didn't get serialized.
Well, I didn't think Tanto looked that good to begin with, but whatever.

And Nakai is a jerk and an idiot. I'm just hoping that by spending so much time on him in this chapter, it means he'll be gone for good. Or at least a while so he can get it back together.

A part of me is starting to think that the higher ups assigned Miura knowing that he wasn't a good fit in order to keep Ashiroga from peaking prematurely. Rather the idea would be to have them struggle and toil until they finally come through with their masterpiece that would blow Eiji and all others away. How perverse would that be?! LOL. In the meantime, just sprinkle some gags on it and they'll feel better in no time.

At the start of this chapter, it looked like Miura was going to get the axe himself. And then the focus switched to Nakai. Good to see him go, for now he needs to take a break from the manga world, and learn to improve as a person before he comes back (I don't think he's leaving forever).

Agreed. Nakai leaving, Tanto getting the axe, Miyoshi not getting married, I thought all of us would be loving this chapter. All of our wishes came true. And then there was Aoki and Fukuda sitting on a freaking Harley Davidson together. I just don't get it.

Meh, I don't care about Nakai. He's a jerk and he's doing good in leaving. I hope he won't come back but I know he will. -__- Also, Ashirogi needs to get rid of Miura and get another editor because he seriously sucks. Sigh.
I'm glad for Aoki though. And even more glad to see her still talking to Fukuda over the phone, fufufu.

I'm glad they didn't get serialized, too. Maybe now they'll go with what they're best at and do a more serious manga. Although Miura will probably keep trying to force them to do gags. Agh. What would it take for them to finally leave him behind for a new editor?

Nakai's cockiness paid off - got rejected hard by Kato
I find it nice that he didn't to change his decision when he saw Aoki.. coz when he does I would totally hate him.

Some may say this is a bad chapter.. but of course we need a little twist in this manga, comedy, drama, romance not all doing manga

Wow, i think this was a great chapter. I never expected they'd be able to make me sad that Nakai left (even if only a little bit). With the way he left though, i'm almost 100% sure he'll be back eventually, hopefully not for a while though (if it's ever next chapter i'll be so pissed).

I really hope Fukuda and Aoki end up together, that's my favorite pairing so far.

He is the worst human ever, 2nd only to the perv mangaka, Ashirogi's 'bad friend', or can you even call that 'friend'?
On the other note, Fukuda and Aoki would really make a good couple! I want to see them together!! :D

Yay! They didn't get serialized. But I guess they're still going for gag and Takagi's still marrying Miyoshi once they get serialized. I hate her! She even said that Takagi slacked off in order to not get married! I sure hope that was really true but it's not. I just totally hate her! So irritating! And now it's good that one of the irritating characters has been removed. He got what he deserved.

Fukuda and Shujin are right. Nakai was hopeless and brought it upon himself. I was surprised Saiko was as concerned about him as he was, but I guess they did have a sort of connection with them both being strictly artists.

Nakai is very lucky to have such good friends. Maybe his trip back home will do him good and resurrect the kind passionate guy he was before.
