I didn't expected Kazuya Hiramaru to get third.
Is it just me or is Takagi becoming a jeck.
I used to believe the brain was the most important organ in the body.
Then I realized - - Look what's telling me that.

This added drama will ruin this series. Bakuman is dragging these days. We can clearly see that PCP won't be getting an anime at this rate and ashirogi muto will suffer more crisis. Then they'll get out of that crisis and start a new series and back to serialization stuff, beating rivals stuff and all.

All of this means at least 100+ more chapters (i.e. without any more drama) I don't want it to drag that long

lovers quarrel ! and stuff. I laughed when Kaya told him off. I liked him saying they'll be rivals now. hopefully Mashiro can come up with something good as he's kinda getting jerked around here. I liked more when it was about their manga although PCP wasn't interesting. I wonder if it will suffer soon.

lol @ the ottter beating out fukuda, iwase and aoki. how did yoshida get that high? hiramaru didn't surprise me though.

lol at the beginning there I thought they were ranking the romance oneshots! I was like WHAT I NEVER EVEN SAW THEM?? haha. But yes, Eiji = 1st always. <3

Aww, man, so much drama. Wish people would smarten up and talk things out and get back to where they should be: Shuujin with Saiko, Shuujin at home with Kaya and Shiratori working on his own. =/

People love some drama. And it's not like Bakuman is not a drama about mangaka, after all. Besides, that kind of thing couldn't be avoided anyway, with Shuujin helping Shiratori and Saiko working on the one shot, both on their own. All this stuff is going to work out somehow and everybody will get happy. In my opinion, they just want to get better to further increase the power level of Ashirogi Muto. But Takagi seems to be a little bit tooooo serious and losing his focus.

Indeed... since Shiratori had the fabulous idea of making a manga everything went slightl worse for Ashirogi Muto! Him being simply the assitant artist was good enough, but nope he had to appear and get that Rabuta and Peace idea and pretty much mess up Shujin and Saiko's pefect friendship and partnership so far!

But guys let's accept that this was bound to happen!!! Again like I said before in the last 5 chapter discussion threads, something like this was bound to happen since Saiko was so focused to seriously do a second series and Shuujin intruded into Shiratori's matters and ended up being winded up in this project that has little future... Seriously there's no possibilities it will really success...

Anyway Shuujin is a jerk in this chapter!!! Prefering to stay over at someone's else house to have some quality time with a flying DOG than passing a great night, a nice dinner and maybe some sex, with your WIFE? Jut WTF is up with him!!! Is he serious! Dude I really got angry at him this chapter 'cause he's ignoring completely both Saiko and Kaya and he's making them worry a lot for PCP well being... and they perfectly know that PCP might not get a serious Anime Project but if it still goes on I'm quite sure it an get an OVA pr something like that... TV Anime is not the only key to make things interesting and really succeed and reach their real goal.... Eiji's awesome dude... while they have this lame drama out of stubborness, from both Saiko and Shuujin Eiiji's just having fun writting like crazy and easily producing 3 mangas at the same time @@

Oh the charac Voting went pretty interesting! Yoshida seriously surprised me.. ninth huh? WTF! and much more since he was the only editor in the top 10! Hattori was pretty neat in 12th... Wonder who go 11th... Iwase, Aoki, Fukuda beaten by the Otter 11 Otter... LOOOOOLZ that was so unexpected as well... Otters 11 rulez! And of course the Top 3 were obvious Hiramarum, Saiko and Eiji... Eiji ruled out everyone else without doubts! I love ya Eiji-kun!

I know it won't happen but I hope Rabuta doesn't get serialized. And even if Mashiro's oneshot ends up being crappy, it does better than some of the others

They have to stop being stubborn. And trust each other more, for one they even haven't tell Hattori about their dream, and it is not easy to work in that scenario

Mashiro & Takagi are being stuborn and Kaya tries to drop some wisdom on these idiots. Unfortunately they never seem to take her advice. There'd be a lot less drama if they heeded her advice. Takagi is squeezing Mashiro to the breaking point and its only a matter of time before his true feelings surface. I hate to admit it, but guys should really talk about their feelings more often.

There was a spin-off chapter as well some months ago. Of course it's popular. Hiramaru FTW. And of course Eiji is first.

Takagi became a complete jerk in this chapter. On the other hand, Kaya is becoming better and better. If only the plot could go as she said in the beggining of the chapter...

This capter made me really depressed, though I'm kind of surprised they never had an argument this big before hand. I mean, as a teenager, I have blow ups with my friends at least once a year, and we're not even working together 24/7.

Kaya should write Bakuman. She is becoming an even better character.

Ah Mashiro.... second by 500 votes or so... But Eiji is awesome so its okay that he winds.

That's a good point, Eiji could end up doing that. Although I've always had the feeling that he would use it on one of his own series, possibly +Natural or even Crow just so he can start something new. Obviously the editors wouldn't want him to stop those series since they're doing well and popular, but I reckon Eiji will get bored of them and cancel one of them. Anyway, that's my theory.

i liked hiramaru's otter-shirt XD
as for what happened in this chapter..
takagi only looked..i dunno, imature. I mean i don't know what's him thinking (hopefully, he has a plan or something like that and so he won't end up like a spoiled brat XD), but i didn't like it.

Also about Eiji...i always thought that, when he put that condition, he already had something in mind. Well, dunno, but i don't think that rabuta will last for that long as to have eiji cancel it.

Maybe Eiji will end Ashirogi's manga when it's about to surpass him. Sounds like a jerk though, but with a power like that it's hard to see what kind of epic conditions it could have been used except for ending his rival's greatest work.

I'm really happy that we're getting more serious drama again. Bakuman would not be as interesting if the main characters were successful all the time. I hope there will be some real conseqenses though, so that everything doesn't just return to the way it was.

That's exactly what I was thinking while reading this. Plus, writing/drawing manga isn't always butterflies and rainbows... even though the drama in Bakuman is definitely exaggerated (like Azuhi's "depression"). :P

Pretty good chapter this time around, loved the final color page. Those top three boys looked so wicked. :D

Hiramura was in third, nice.

After reading this chapter, I have to say that everyone's one-shot ideas except Hiramura's completely sucked. I actually would want to read Hiramura's one-shot.

Shiratori-kun is a boring character. =_= I'm sick of his dog, too (eventhough I'm a dog lover but still, that dog is so out of place in a manga like this) -.-

And Mashiro is being stubborn. I've always disliked his and Miho's dumb ideals. They're making life so miserable and inflexible for everyone, especially themselves. Their so-called 'love' is so impractical to the point of annoying.

I don't know what Takagi is thinking. He did act like a huge jerk since last chapter by blowing his top out of nowhere and continuing that attitude in this chapter, but then again he's possibly trying to make Mashiro understand that he shouldn't say things like, "go work on Rabuta", when he clearly didn't want him to do so. "Widening your horizons by working on Rabuta and hence it will benefit AshirogiMuto" ? What the hell was that? That is such BS. It was Mashiro's excuse to make himself seem less selfish.

It's very infuriating to see your friend so stubborn and saying something they don't mean. Mashiro should be more open in appreciating Takagi's existence and contribution in AshirogiMuto more hence he should tell him right out he doesn't want him to work on Rabuta. YET, Mashiro is NOT saying it which makes Takagi angry. Takagi is a smart guy. I think this is how he does things.

We'll see how it pans out, I really wish to see more of Eiji (yay for him getting first place!) rather than the annoying focus on Mashiro's and Miho's dumb goal (and the entailing obstacles). Just get married naturally and progressively like Shuujin and Kaya, idiots. I'm really annoyed with their 'logic' and screwed-up 'rationale'. -_-

Confirmed that Bakuman readers have no taste in characters.
Iwase should have won by a huge margin, over Miho of course.

If that lose Takagi married Iwase all this drama would not be happening as she is a very loving woman.

the whole fight and takagi fighting kaya still feeling too artificial, but all in all, still good drama though.
ohba possibly understood that manga contest battles can't have the drama all the time.

i feel though there's less black ink though, and those causing low art quality...
