I have been waiting for some serious interaction between Fukuda and Aoki since they first meet. I loved the coaching scene; they were super hilarious. Can't believe Nakai is still being a douche though, he needs to get over himself. Overall, this was an awesome episode.

So apparently fanservice is a pretty serious theme in the world of manga. XD

Great episode, a lot of character development imo.
Nakai is such a perverted guy, all he cares about is dating asap. And that mindset does not work at all.
I'm looking forward to more.

i can't tell if Iwase is getting into this because of her obsession with Takagi or to Spite him...

Waaa, are they going for Fukuda x Aoki now? I'd really like that. xD They are a nice match even though they kind of hated each other at the beginning.
Until now I still kind of hoped to see Nakai go back to Aoki and then slowly get her to like him but now I hope he stays where is now and doesn't get in Fukuda x Aoki's way!

I still hope Tanto doesn't get serialized now. I want another manga.

Yuriko and Shinta have teamed up and who knows something might actually come from it. Not sure why Kaya suggested that pervert but well it's funny to see they didn't change his character after these years... It was also interesting to see that Iwase is really going for it to be a rival with them and well things might get quite interesting with her as well so let's see what's next!

Great episode, totally glad that not one but two scumbags got slaughtered by Fukuda.
Also Aoki was damn cute once again!


Fukuda was freaking awesome this episode. Would definitely approve Aoki x Fukuda, seems like it's headed that way as well.

It was obvious from the trailer that Fukuda would come help her. I'm glad she didn't associate with that douchebag from highschool.

Fukuda is awesome. Is relationship with Aoki is cute. She seem to fall in love, again :P

What Fukuda said to Nakai was pretty spot on. ''So you come her to flirt, that's why your drawing have lowered...''. I think that it's really foreshadowing. Taka-something will surely fire him from his team. Also, poor Katou, she seemed so scared when Nakai said that he loved her xD
I can understand her :S

I don't know what those two reactions at the end meant. Was it bad or not?

Aoki has really changed, she's more cute now.
Hum... Fukada is younger than her if I recall, but yeah let's ship them.

Panty shots, one of the things that I don't like that much.

This could be the best episode from this season. There are so many interesting
characters in Bakuman now!
And so much going on.

Aoki has become a lot lore humble and reasonable. Her talking to fukuda on the
phone was hilarious!

Fukuda: I'm not completely sure how I feel about him. He does well as a
supporting character (helping Aoki, the boycott earlier on, encouraging
everyone, etc)but at the same time i feel as though his personality is so strong
he should get more screen time. But honestly I don't know if I'd be interested
to see him for multiple episodes at a time like they did Aoki. It'd be awesome
to see that kind of thing for Eiji though He hasn't been the focus of an episode
for a while, I miss that sometimes.

Miyoshi isn't completely forgiving. She doesn't trust takagi alone with Aoki to
see Ishizowa.

From Katou's reactions it seems nakai has an unrequited love. And from the way
he talks about it, Im beginning to think I misjudged him from the beginning. I
get why Aoki thought he was creepy. He kinda is. I wouldn't mind if he stopped
showing up in episodes. He doesn't have much of a purpose and I don't care for
him anymore. His whining to fukuda about some imaginary love life. He's
pathetic.

Now I understand why hattori kept getting screen time here and there. I thought
it was weird considering he wasn't too much doing anything in the story, but
here we go...

I was rooting for Aoki x Nakai initially, but screw it now I'm on team Aoki x Fukuda, they have great chemistry and fit soo well together. And Aoki is only getting more cute as she opens up to other males <3

And fuck Ishizawa, that guy hasn't changed at all it seems. Iwase is joining now and, surprise, she is getting Hattori :O This can only lead to some interesting rivalry!

Fukuda continues to be the best character in Bakuman for me. Loved the way he tried to wake Nakai up from his sexual fantasies and try his damn best to get him to forgive Aoki and let him do her art again after apologizing for his actions, but Nakai declined since he's too busy still dreaming up about Katou and spending time with her. The guy's lost in his horniness I swear. He at least tried his best too to help out Aoki in being able to draw panty shots and ecchi scenes effectively and he's a great and vocal teacher too. Personality wise, he really is the embodiment of shounen manga and he's helping out Aoki in being able to handle this on her own since she is a part of Team Fukuda too in the end, the team who will change Shounen Jump according to him right. Such a real dude who wants his comrades to succeed alongside him in the long run and turn the magazine upside down.

Also, +Natural seems to be getting a manga soon from looks of things too with Iwase using the source material of her book, along with her new editor Akira Hattori who she seems to like already quite a lot from her facial reactions. Kind of sad that Hattori's got free space to take up another project here while not being able to work with Ashirogi Muto since he truly is the best editor for someone like them but they can't bail out on the Tanto business with Miura. They're close to getting that official serialization for it too, which means Takagi and Miyoshi are not too far off from being married in the process so that's cool.

what the hell was that scene in the restaurant? why on earth would that weirdo demand sexy pics of aoki? it makes no sense when porn is available, he's destroying his big chance to debut in jump because he wants to see some unattractive girl like aoki in her underwear.
I can't believe bakuman is written by the same person who did death note, such a disappointment.

fukuda and kou sure are interesting combination.
their conversation about pants LOLed me out xD
and from the way it seems, i wouldn't be surprised if kou would fall for fukuda too.

iwase used her connections right LOL

bit more other characters episode, love when this happens but i would love to see more of takagi ideas, they really funny but deep in his own way.

Accidentally watched episode 17 first lol

Anyway this episode got a lot of cute Aoki moments. She is REALLY growing on me. I like how earnest she can be too.

Ishizawa is just as disgusting as Nakai, maybe even worse.

Loved that coaching scene. These two kind of suit each other lol but it was really great seeing Aoki smile and be that excited!

Considering how skeevy he is, Aoki's editor is surprisingly understanding of the fallout with Nakai. I want to say maybe I was being too harsh initially, but, I feel like, as with just about everyone in this series, he'll prove himself to be a terrible person eventually.

Meanwhile; time and time again, Fukuda proves himself to be best boi of the series.
