| I am really starting to get attached to this crazy kid. |
| Lol nice episode, I find it a bit strange you'd strengthen your opponent like that, but whatever floats your boat! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Mashiro and the other guy actually helped Niizuma out :O what beautiful frenemies lol |
 |
| Great episode, and man am I glad to see Fukuda animated again. One of my favorite Bakuman characters and definitely really underrated in comparison to a lot of his peers in my opinion. It was really interesting seeing mangaka/artists from various backgrounds and styles interact and play off each other in this episode, and it was nice seeing Fukuda despite his abrasive attitude at times, be someone who genuinely cares for the readers of the manga by thinking in their best interests, and it worked well when he and Mashiro both advice Niizuma on what he needed to improve to make Crow more interesting with a long-term appeal, especially narratively. He has fantastic art and genius-levels of talent but he's still a diamond in the rough when it comes to becoming a pro so it was humbling to see him accept criticism and even draw names and work well with the others to improve his manga. These guys are going to really become special rivals down the line. Takagi also seems to be distracting himself a bit more from actually making progress with a concept of a story to write a name of, focusing on being at an internet cafe with Miyoshi instead, helping her with her cell phone novel. Miyoshi's grateful for Takagi helping her and spending more time with her but even she's worried now for him as he continues to just drift a bit further from his own stuff with Mashiro. Hopefully he gets back on track a bit, since Mashiro is learning a lot from his own little side journey as an assistant for Niizuma. |
| So Eiji's editor is aware he won't success as a mangaka in the long run....feel sorry for Eiji just being used to make fast profit for the company... |
| so we start this mini-arc, really like mostly due the new characters nakai and fukuda and the chemistry between the four which going to be future rivals. fukuda is great character in all means, he's kind of tsunedre in denying, mashiro telling him he's not that bad and he answer back he's bad xD but yeah he have great ideas, and though insulting nakai he admits he have talents. nakai doesn't show much of himself yet, but we see here great promise on him. he actually one of the characters that shows how ohba made the characters - there's no one of them who is perfect, and theyr weakness is also they strengths, which makes them much more reality. eiji on the other hand really continue to amaze, as he opens himself for critics, and not consider himself as top mangaka or something, but doing what he must do. gad though this mini-arc is short, because i wanna see more of ashirogi muto. |
| I feel so bad for Nakai. I respect him for still chasing after his dreams after such a long time. I don't like Fukuda for his attitude in disrespecting Nakai so blatantly. After all, what's so wrong with chasing after your dreams? It doesn't always work out. Felt especially sad when Nakai was crying at night ;-; |

| This guy is just ADHD incarnated |
| I hate everyone equally |
| It's nice to see the manga artists collaborating, even if it isn't their work. I mean, as bad as it can feel to support someone else's success, there definitely has to be some benefit to working on a major publication. It would be experience by proxy anyway. I certainly wouldn't mind a collaboration with people. Of course, in Niizuma's case, if the main author isn't willing to teach or even interact with their assistants, I suppose it could be frustrating. That being said, Niizuma is getting a lot of development this episode. Whereas I was okay with him failing, it's hard to root against someone who is willing to actually try and put in the work, rather than continue to rest on his laurels. I suppose, at this point, he was just young and misunderstood. But really, other than the first time he was introduced, I never particularly felt like he was a bad person anyway. It's not like he saw Moritaka and Takagi's manga and tried to sabotage it or anything. Anyway, things seem to be going well for Moritaka. Now I just have to wonder how Takagi is doing? |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| Great and wholesome episode |
