One of Fukuda's manga getting anime. The pair getting invited for being judge.

That new megane guy is voiced by KajiKaji!! (Edit: I almost forgot about this newbie editor!! Fufu... it's getting more interesting.)

Ex-salaryman mangaka "dating" Aoki, (LOL~) and the trap! The hint is where the one shots having the same place? Him vs. the editor. She accepted his feeling?

Introducing of the the pair's fan that becoming the most annoying enemy of theirs ever in the future?

Does this mean the repetitive Hiramaru-Aoki gags are finally over? (I am crossing my fingers. While we're at it, can we also just completely forget about the pair? Of all the badly-written romance in Bakuman, their arc is the worst. Aoki has become such an embarrassingly empty character.)

Don't worry about the BB_Subs thing. Sage is subbing it, but as always they're late with Bakuman (I think they're trying to find a typesetter or something). Anyone who watched Bakuman 2 airing would be used to this.

Exactly. I'm sick of seeing the BB_subs thing... I didn't even know who they were anyways...

Here's the latest update from [Sage]: Posted November 18

"Bakuman news: Our typesetter is without internet for at least three days and I can’t find a replacement. So either we wait for him, or we release without signs. Not sure what to do…
If you are a typesetter and want to do Bakuman, please contact me!"


So yeah.. hopefully tomorrow...

YES! YES! YES! HIRAMARU EPISODE!!!!!! This was so awesome, even better than the manga! AYE FOR HIRAMARU x AOKI!

Sorry about that, but through this entire sequence my face turned into a banana so big that I could feed the entire Africa.

But Nanamine will get an appearance next week... the most hated arc of the manga starts. Hopefully they won't drag it too much.

Well, buying a car just so you can go on a date is certainly demonstating how serious you are about things. Hiramaru was pretty much a boss in this episode and Aoki seemed suitably impressed.

Finally, Ichigo admits that he can never top One Piece... jk.

That aside, I actually like the Hiramaru x Aoki pairing. Although it's VERY cliché and was obviously intended for gags, it's a more straightforward one and it has that "shounen" aura, compared to Mashiro x Azuki. Nothing beats Iwase's love woes though ;-)

That was a pretty ridiculous episode. I did have some fun with it, but I do echo the disappointment over Aoki's development. She was incredibly passive through this whole thing and really just feels more like a plot device than a person. I can't connect who she started out as to who she is now at all.

Oh Hiramaru, your actions made me shed tears of laughter. I haven't had this much fun with an episode in quite a while, even though the actual development was kind of 'meh'.

I really haaaaate the next arc, I really hope they rush it tbh :/

Also I feel really sad that apparently no one is giving a damn about Bakuman anymore, the episode was up on freaking saturday and until today the subs were released... Come on, it's a really cool series, I don't get what's wrong with people who doesn't like it :C

Nice side story of progressing Aoki and Hiramaru's relationship : D He's so funny with his work ethic and just the little quirks. I found it amusing how Aoki was picking up on all the things he was doing and knew what he was going to say before he was. I really hope there's a 4th season or a movie or something after this because there's another moment similar to this but even funnier.

The Nanamine Tooru arc finally starts next episode! Please fansubs try not to be 4 days late this time : P

I have to disagree with Aoki being 'passive'. She liked Hiramaru. Hiramaru also gave her an unorthodox date where she felt like a heroine. That is important to her. She is still super strong willed, but I also think she has a lot of respect/interest in Hiramaru's work.

It was Hiramaru who was being passive this entire time. He finally took charge. Women like guys who take charge. I think that is what cemented her like for him. That is my 2 cents if that matters.

Agree. I liked her at starting when she was more aggressive but now she has become such an empty character.


I disliked Aoki in the 1st season as she just appeared to be a frustrated, annoying character. I started to love the character in the 2nd season as she was evolving and I though it was a nice character development. The comparison with Iwase was nice to as it was showing us how much the character had evolved.

But I really dislike what they are doing with her character in the 3rd season. It like if they had stored it in a closet. I mean I don't dislike that she end up going out with Hiramaru but but in that relation we only see Hiramaru's side and it's hard to understand how she come to accepts Hiramaru's feeling or develops feeling for him.
Since she always had a cold attitude toward Hiramaru, this sudden change make things hard to believe. I think it would have been better to elaborate a bit more how she came to changed her feeling towards him.

Come on, this is comedy and not part of some serious romantic drama series. The real drama comes from the manga making, which is also the main focus of the series.

Great episode, Hiramaru is definitely one of the best characters. But the last few episodes seem somewhat rushed, which is strange considering the slow pace of the first season. At this pace they might be able to finish the adaption with this season, at the expense of the quality of the storytelling.

Oh, and the next arc is one of the best arcs in the entire manga in my opinion.

Agreed.^
So what if it's hard to believe or cliche, this is a shounen anime not a serious romantic drama. I don't understand why are people complaining about this episode.^^

One of my 2 favourite episodes in this series. And the only episode I really liked in the 3rd season. Hiramaru is the man, LOL. I was cheering for him the whole episode, I'm glad he wasn't rejected.

I don't dislike that she end up going out with Hiramaru but but in that relation we only see Hiramaru's side and it's hard to understand how she come to accepts Hiramaru's feeling or develops feeling for him.
Since she always had a cold attitude toward Hiramaru, this sudden change make things hard to believe.


The guy bought a car only for 1 day and then ditched it, saying "I was able to drive with Aoki-san. It was worth it." Man how can a woman not fall in love with him after those words? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

hmmm... maybe you are right. It is true that the duo Hiramaru and his editor is part of the comedy aspect of the show ( and I live their interaction ) but the parts with Aoki were always a bit more serious and dramatic ( like the part Aoki/Nakai ) so maybe I find it a bit odd to see Aoki associated with the comic aspect of the show

and to the kid that submitted the Classroom of Truth entry. He looks like one of the protagonist in PCP. You just need to tweak his glasses and bangs a bit xD
