That was a nice chapter. My thoughts about it:

- The editor-in-chief has a point, but I still think Miura is quite incompetent.
- Niizuma finally reappears!
- Iwase is going to be a tough rival, that's for sure.
- A magnificent scheme indeed, Hattori sure knows what he is doing. Too bad he isn't Ashirogi's editor anymore.

Iwase and Niizuma's manga seems like one of the more interesting manga in Bakuman so far.

That's what I though as well. Miura is really bugging me for being so much into comedy...

Ok, this chapter was unexpectedly epic. Eiji doing two series at once? With the story of Iwase? Fuck yeah.

And I lol'd at Miura wearing a Beck T-shirt.

Wow, this chapter was really good. The story Iwase thought of sounds very interesting, I would read something like. Can't wait to see what will Ashirogi Muto team do when they see this new manga by Nizuma and Iwase.

Miura really should of been fired.... as his boss does the chief really not realize how bad Miura is? I hope Hattori's plan works and they get inspired and not keep putting out crap like Tanto. their new rivals story sounds way more interesting than tanto or anything they did since Trap.

For one second, I thought that maybe Miura would get fired for stressing Takamura out. I seriously thought that. But it made me cry to see that the only thing that was said was 'It's your own fault, that you don't write what you want'.
If your editor doesn't apporve in any way, then it's impossible to write and draw a good manga. WTF. The editor is at fault, too, if something sucks.
Poor Takamura. I felt bad for him and I'm sad to see Miura still going around.
On the other way:
YES HATTORI. Although he's not being their editor anymore, he's supporting them as if he were. I love him so much.
And Eiji was pure awesomeness!
So this chapter was split in two, somehow.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

Awesome chapter. Hattori and Nizuma completely owned this one. Makes Miura look all the more sad in comparison. I really believe Hattori's scheme will finally get Ashirogi off their asses and ditch the gag strip idea once and for all. I can't wait to see Iwase and Nizuma collaborate. A damn brilliant development IMO.

Well well... What else can I say... GENIUS!!! What a frikkin' awesome chapter people!!! the best chapter since a while ago!!! I retake it on my mind and review every and each convo bubble and I can't simply stop myself for being amazed of this Nice and cool chapter... We'll finally face what this manga wanted to show us since the beginning... Well maybe I'm exaggerating, but this undoubtly stirred and will stir Ashirogi... I really want to see them revived, and realize that they have to stop writing that crap and finally get their job done!

The first half was a confirmation for a pair of things... Miura sucks bad, but he has the approval of Chief Editor... who perfectly knows how the industry goes... and is supported by his experience... Miura has to have something why Chief Editor support him so much.... Chief Editor's statement didn't make sense at the beginning... but if you think a bit about it, he's right!!! If things went the way we want, then there wouldn't be any problem... but just as he said, both parties have to face their problems and finally flourish with a new manga! XD Ashirogi should ditch Tanto and try with something else!

Eiji's comeback was a bomb!!!! that's why I missed him!! hahaha... Indeed that little guy is a printing press LOL... I can't believe Hattori is serious with this... Is just to far-fetched in my eyes... but man that definitely would be a hit! In fact this second half shows us that Hattori is an awesome guy! An editor and a human being... He's demonstrating he loves Ashirogi and they need to be awoken from the slumber they've been since they lost Trap.. It's a bit sad, but Eiji + Iwase looks like an awesome combo that would stir for sure the whole WSJ magazine... Just as Hattori said... this will peek an attention inside and outside the magazine... and that'll make it more awesome for sure XD... Can't wait for next chappie!

Nah I don't think he would do that. Why would he use the ''cancel one series'' on his own series when he can cancel it himself if he wanted to.

I hope Ashirogi'll finally give up on Tanto and all that comedy crap. Niizuma & Iwase are going to be a tough rival, so Ashirogi has to come up with something really good.
And I'm so happy there is (and definitely will be) more Eiji ^^

That's true but Miura is still annoying me a bit. I hope he forgets the Comedy soon >':

AMAZING chapter, absolutely loved it. While i disagree with most of what the chief said, he does have a point. Don't blame Miura, write what you want in the first place and tell him to deal with it. It worked for Nizuma!

I don't think they'd let him cancel it that easily, so it makes sense for him use his 'one cancel' on his own.

I was thinking that the editor-in-chief was a little bit wrong there. He sadi that it's Takahama's fault that he didn't draw what he wanted. But isn't that what Ashirogi's trying to do at first? But then this useless editor was insistent on doing gag. They even did two series names to show him what they really wanted. And in the end, he still succeeded in forcing them to do gag. I just hope this secret project of Hattori bring Ashirogi back to their senses.

My thoughts exactly. What the chief said was so wrong. If you can't adjust to what your editor says that doesn't make you talentless, if you want to write a sci-fi novel or manga, you should be able to do just that, the editor should only guide you and help you. Stephen King probably can't write comedy but that doesn't mean he's talentless, he's just better suited to horror. Hattori even mentioned that he's worried Ashirogi Muto will become "a Jack of all trades, and a Master of none". Not being able to write every single genre in existence doesn't make you talentless, it makes you goddamn human.

the return of hattori the schemer, with now his new partner yuujiro xD

though you kinda have to agree with the editor-in-chief, miura is still not better. it returned me to the start of TRAP arc where he said that TRAP is stiff. sure his ideas for "light" dialogues and puns helped it out, but from the first minute he all was about comedy and gag and didn't let ashirogi do much. when mashiro and takagi brought serious series he tended to the comedy one, when they wanted future watch he chose over gag. his prejudice not helping him be the editor in chief so talked about, even if they will brought him something else amazing now he won't back of tanto.
i bet that if mashiro and takagi would present this to hattori or the editor in chief, there will be other discussion, but the way he presented it he didn't gave them much doubt.
though i do agree with him that the one deciding what they should serialize is what the editor want to, because if the editor won't like it he wouldn't want to send it to the serialzition meeting, and that's completely understood, that's they'r job for.

I'm in love with bakuman, the characters, the plot, the feelings, the message, everithing is so nice, it's incredible how this two motherfuckers named takeshi obata and tugumi ohba could made a slice of life manga with textwalls level hxh the same or more exciting and funny than a full-action hyper-frenetic tournament battle shounen manga, plus, they made death note, a totally different thing in almost everything except both have strategy, but usually the 2nd series of a mangaka have a similar plot or recicled characters with the same personality or themes BUT THIS HIJOS DE PUTA CREATED A STORY NO FANTASY/SOBRENATURAL THINGS ABOUT TWO NERDS WHO MAKE MANGA THAT IS SO DIFFERENT OF ALL THE SJ STUFF IN THE 2000'S AND EVEN THEY GAINED SUCCESS. THANK YOU CABRONES I'LL NEVER REGRET OF BUYING ALL THE 20 VOLUMES.
