Bakuman's really slow development-wise and has a really basic narrative structure but it has both heart and style, and that's very rare in animes nowadays. Once again an enjoyable episode.

I sure hope Miho and Mashiro don't end up like Miho's mum and Mashiro's uncle.

Miho and Mashiro actually know they like each other, so that shouldn't happen (otherwise lots of people will be pissed off...)
Koogy's a minor character, almost forgot about him...the anime needs to introduce Nizuma Eiji!^^

Not sure if that death note joke was in the original manga, but I can't say it was unexpected. Same authors as death note = I'm expecting a lot more death note jokes xP


It wasn't, but if I remember correctly they have more ;)
It is in the manga. Chapter 4

I'm loving this anime, for real

Great episode! It's really starting off well for a slice of life anime.
I didn't even check to see how many minutes was left of the episode like I usually do. To me, that says something x3

I thought it was weird that Mashiro liked the daughter of the same woman his uncle loved but it was funny. I have no compliants about this show, I really enjoy watching it, and I have a feeling it's only going to get better as it progresses.

YAY, another Death Note reference....

Anyways, it was a good thing his uncle didn't marry Azuki's mom....then they would've been related by BLOOD.

A very good episode.

The connection and reference to real life manga serials is a welcome change from the usual bleeped out reference (ala Hayate no Gotoku). It would take a fair amount of cash to be able to legally reference those serials, both in name and by visuals.

Lovely episode... barely remember all of this happening... But it's there... and it happened!! So then they went to the studio and had an awesome study night... filled in some questions they hoped to answer there and butted into Mashiro's uncle love story! Btw his love story is so... plain lame but so pure and gutty at the same time... Tell me which kind of guy would actually follow that promise and only work hard... IMO he should have tried to go out with her just once or something... But really doesn't matter know since his love is married and has a kid... Kid that's Miho!!! Was that a coincidence? Nah! That was Hisuzen (Destiny/Fate)! xD their families are meant to be together for real! If not how come that's even possible Miho looks exactly like her mom! xD I actually mistook Miho's mom as Miho... they look so alike.... DNA is a scary thing ne?

Other than that discovery, I loved the phone call between Saiko and his dad... Was so... woah... so manga meaningful.... And so... relaxing? ...Exciting? ...full of spirits to give out the best? Well whatever, what's for sure is that they're decided to make an awesome manga, and they have the best references out there since Kawaguchi managed to get so many manga volumes and work hard just for the sake of that oooold promise... I feel bad for Saiko's uncle now... his story is so sad.. I just hope Saiko and miho doesn't fell in the same vortex xD

And the reference... Dunno how much it costs to make all those, but one thing is certain... They whouldn't be expensive since all of those mangas are part of Shueisha, aka the company that manages WSJ... Still... it's so surprising... Actually showing the spines of all those DB volumes.... and some other mangas... and also making references to Ashita no Joe (Boxing manga) and to Death Note.. Btw I barely remember who's that Gevanni guy :p... Just wow..

I've rewatched Death Note too many times to count yet I still don't know who Giovanni is.
Good episode, but nothing really "wow!"-worthy. I can't wait for them to introduce Eji!

Fine example of hitsuzen.

I don't understand, mangaka put so much effort and dream into their work and when we the fan love them, buy, them pretty being into them are called otaku and are shone upon by society.

Miyuki (azuki’s mom) is funny. Best part of that whole show was when they
found the yearbook. Definitely getting better by the episode. It moves a little
slow but it seems to be gaining steam.

While one could argue it was a bit slow, I actually think it was perfectly paced. Also after experiencing so many recent 13 episode animes that sometimes felt they were too fast-paced, it's nice to enjoy one that goes for 25 episodes and feels perfectly paced. Really gives time to develop characters, situations, and emotions.

Sometimes,The truth of DNA can be weird and dangerous in Anime .....


Sometimes even in reality.
But that certainly was one crazy coincidence. I hope the story of his uncle life put some thought into his mind and not let the girl go around until he makes it big. Cool idea and all but you end up with nothing. You just work like crazy while some other guy is deflowering her.
Nice motivation for work and all but boy it sucks.

Anyway am enjoying this show up until now it has a nice sweet feeling. We got some nice incites in this episode. About his uncle, Miho's mum and Machiro's parents.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying this series so far. While each episode is not packed with action, it's a nice change of pace and it's clear that the writers planned out each episode well so that nothing is rushed but enough is done that you can see development occurring, too. Added to that, the humour is cute rather than overdone, and the characters themselves are fun to watch.

4/5 for this episode.

The anime has been okay this far. I do hate the OP and the ED songs but they can be skipped :P

Mashiro liking the daughter of his uncle's crush is really lame and kind of pointless to me. It felt more like a convenient way to confirm some useless information on the uncle than to push anything forward. But since they've made a goal for themselves and decided to work in this episode, I guess it's fine.

Oh... Wait, what?
Right, I was watching Bakuman. I didn't even realize it.
I was like... Watching, but it feels like I didn't pay attention.
I think I got the general outline of the episode though, and it's not bad, not bad at all.
Also, (yeah I know it's anime and all) Miho and her mother are quite alike.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.
