Woot, serialization! Didn't leave me pumping my fists in joy like Kimi ni Todoke Second Season's ending, but it still made me happy to see these guys make it. Looking forward to seeing where the show goes from here this fall.

I'm happy they made it. Looks like the second season would start off with the new editor.

This happened so long ago, that i totally forgot what happened. It feels nice to be watching the anime with a fresh perspective.

The tension built up perfectly, and i liked how they went into so much detail about the selection process and the criticisms of each. Another genius? i suppose you could call him that... kinda forgot how he was introduced haha.

This series got off to a rocky start, but near the end picked up the pacing and executed a series of flawless episodes.
10/10!

Well, at least Ashirogi's reactions to first Mashiro's hand when playing cards, and then when Miyoshi called were pretty good.
And Fukuda's call to Ashirogi after the result. Was also lulzy.
Not to mention Niizuma's "Conglaturations."
And suddenly, new editor. Way to end a season.
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.

Great end to season 1! There's one scene that really stood out to me:



Miyoshi getting a bit excited there....

Takagi: "Ehhh, Saikou?" :-o
Mashiro: "...can't stop grinning..." :-D
Miyoshi: :-3

Nice final episode!!! and SaikoxMiho final scene is so cute!!!!
Only detective trap will be serialized, I'm sorry for fukuda, he is awesome chara...
And in theme of favorite character, best chara is Fukuda, imho in second position there is Niizuma and Takagi at same level, however all three are very good!!!
That Hiramaru, new editor and pro life will be plots for next season, that I surely will watch.....
I give it 8+, it isn't escellent anime, but altough very good series...
last minute is horrible cliffhanger......

next to Second season, in autumn........

I have hunches:



This may sound dumb to people who have already read the manga, if ever my theories were wrong. But this is posible, right?

Eitherway, I loved the last episode. I really though they'd meet each other in the last part of the episode but there's still season 2 coming up for more romance between the two.

mashiro dad isnt a mangaka though =O! We never see what mashiro dad looks like in the manga and the chracter you're talking about is not mashiro dad.


In a different matter, this anime is going to have a lot of episodes! (YAY!) I mean i think episode 25 finished on chapter 30-40 in the manga! Adding to the fact that the manga gets another half a year to progress as well.

I found it boring and cringeworthy. This series is just full of overexaggeration which really depicts how boring it is to follow a series about manga publishing. With that said, I think it was OK at best.

This was a nice show. I was so focused on them wanting to serialize it that I completely forgot about that they originally meant to get an anime before he could be together with Azuki. Stupid me.
I was surprised that another editor came in, I'm curious to know the reason behind it. I'm glad I watched it now; in one and a half months the second season starts, so I'm awaiting it. An 8 out of 10.

On to season two. I'm glad I caught up over the last few days. Excellent series and the long distance love affair (if we can call it that) brings back memories of trying to keep similar relationships going when I was in my last year of high school and second year of university.... Let's just say that it is a very difficult thing to do, so those memories are bittersweet....

Good episode though i wonder why Hattori is not their editor anymore. Is it because he does not manage any manga which gets serialized or ...?

Good show but not great due to the pacing. 8/10.
Finally Mio and Ahirogi talks...its like another Kimi ni Todoke >.>
On the contrary. It is because he already manages two manga and does not have time for more.

I'm really impressed with the details expressed in this series. It really caught me off guard with all the psychological headache and the tension build-up. I've been watching this series in an on-and-off basis and it never fail to make me stuck in front of the screen for a whole 20 minutes.

Great job for the whole series! I'm moving on to S2 now :) 9/10 (1 for the music & soundtracks)

Really enjoyed watching this series. Was nice to see how the whole process of manga works. Made me wish I could draw better and that I lived in Japan lol. My fav character was Eiji. Not sure why but I thought they were going to have him be some annoying mean character that would get in there way but he ended up being all nice. Gonna start the next season now, can't wait to see what happens next.


Overall, I gave this series an 7/10. More romance would have made it an 8 for me.

Loved the cliffhanger at the end of the season. I wonder what the new editor, Miura, is going to be like? like Hattori so I hope his role in the boy's lives won't diminish much. Overall, this series was surprisingly good. I really like it.

Can't believe it took me this long to find and watch this series it was great. It also in a way makes watching other anime or manga more enjoyable after seeing the process they went though.
Was expecting a lot from the ones behind death note and was not disappointed. Now on to season 2!

Serialization! Finally! It's nice to see that phone talk at the end which takes back from the pilot episode. Inb4 marriage? Heh, I hope so. Well, this season was good and enjoyed it. 7/10

From me it was suppose to be 8/10, but Azuki's romance logic, and simply the whole romance development between Mashiro and Azuki were ridiculous, unrealistic. That killed the series for me and score drops to 6.5/10 and I will generously round it up to 7/10. Sad to see Azuki acting this way since I really liked her at first.

Awesome series in my view. The plot, characters, and events made it really interesting. I have an idea how it is to be a mangaka and a seiyuu now. My respect for them has increased a lot from watching Mashiro and Takagi trying their best to become popular.
