Everytime I think Mashiro becomes a better characters he screws up. Big time. So I will just give up on him. Too messed up, where is Bright when you need him?

This is by far my favorite episode to date for this series.

Saiko and Azuki's reuniting early was amazing. I'm loving the fact that there feelings haven't dwindled but strengthened over the time of not seeing each other. That is real love.

Ejii has to be one of the best characters in the show! lol

Cute episode. I like how Azuki and Mashiro interact more normally. She's such a nice girl :3

Niizuma is probably the nicest 'rival' character I know, I thought he was a condescending jerk at first but he clearly cares about his 'rivals', encouraging them, praising them, and even making sure they are okay. Which is sorta weird because you expect rival guys to be more like assholes toward their rivals lol

Are we all watching the same show here?

FUCK HIS DETERMINATION! HE NEED TO FUCKING STOP! THAT'S NOT DETERMINATION! THAT IS STUPIDITY!
FUCK SHUUJIN!

and THE BIGGEST FUCK YOU TO MIURA! HE SHOULD'VE JUST PICK UP THE DAMN PAPER AND RIP IT IN HALF IN FRONT OF MASHIRO'S FACE! WHAT KIND OF EDITOR IS HE?! SO FUCKING INCOMPETENT!

First I thought Eiji would snap him out of it... No, that kid's an idiot... Then the fucking Miura! Seriously, they're killing Mashiro!

My thoughts exactly when I saw this episode, I was pissed like hell when I saw this one, even Miho was acting too stupid, I heard they cut a scene where she cries, gonna check this one, but overall this episode really irritated me. and people speaks about determination, well I wonder if Miho's mother was happy when Mashiro's uncle died... they're all just too stupid. the only sane one is the head editor actually.

Good episode, but I agree with others about the 'determination'. Pushing yourself too much won't help you in the long run, in theory. Will see how it turns out in the anime, though!

If I was Azuka and I heard Mashiro say manga was more important than me, I'd be pretty mad. Especially because Mashiro basically got back into manga for Azuka. >=(

I'm not sure if it was right that Mashiro said to Azuki in her face that manga is more important to her and I'm not sure if it was right that Azuki didn't react at all about that when he said that, personally I think she should be heart broken.
I'm not sure if it was right that even though Mashiro is suffering near the end like he is about to die and Azuki still encourages him to draw as if she doesn't care even if he dies.

How the romance is presented between Mashiro and Azuki is still as screwed up as ever.

I've been loving this series IN SPITE of mashiro.....this episode just reaffirmed everything i thought of him: obnoxious, arrogant and selfish......because the only window for success in making a manga is before you graduate high school, right? seriously, giving up part of your liver and risking your health in spite of the wishes of your mother and people who actually gave a fuck about his life.....everybody who encouraged him to keep going was just retarded. In real life, mashiro gets dropped by the chief editor and dies....shame on this anime for even encouraging this level of stupidity

They finally meet, and it's so dramatic.
Even if they're making the wrong decisions, I don't rate poorly if I don't agree with the choices characters make.

What would have been better is if they had a rational conversation about their promise. They should be supporting eachother while working towards there dreams. They should be dating and seeing each other semiregularly.

Ehhh, it's worse than I would have thought. At least, it's not an hardcore risky operation.

The romance in this episode was way better than in the previous episode. They had a good talk and they seemed to have way much more chemistry than when they were talking together before.

Mashiro's a masochist, to continue to draw even if he's bending from pain xD
It look like he'll receive of a visit from the chief editor and from the episode name, I don't think he'll receive the news he wanted...

And people telling that it isn't realistic... You seriously want a realistic anime about mangaka? It would be boring as hell. Also, why are you watching anime if you want something realistic, just watch a documentary, it's kinda stupid to think that way.

Mashiro should just rest for a while. Okay, I get it... They've gone so far they don't want to through it all away but still. It seems that Mashiro was in a lot of pain and he's risking his health because of drawing. It is like obsession to him and it reminded me a lot about his uncle who died because of overworking. Take a break Mashiro.
And wtf, was Miho doing in the end? Mashiro was like almost having an seizure or something and then she thinks it's a good time to draw. Seriously?

I'm glad that Miho and Mashiro talked to each other though Mashiro was being kinda mean saying that he'd choose manga over her. And how stupid it was that she couldn't just go straight inside. How the heck are they gonna get married if they can't even be in a same room together?? Anime logic -.-

Wow. That was the dumbest, most grating episode of anime I've seen in a long time. The only realistic explanation I can think of is that Mashiro's malnutrition damaged his brain and everyone else around him doesn't want to tell him so they go along with his tantrum. The high ratings for this utterly confound me.

I'm getting really annoyed with this season. Mashiro is stupid. Miho is even more stupid. I hope Mashiro dies tbh and Takagi can team up with an artist who doesn't have his priorities fucking backwards. Mashiro and Miho are the worst couple ever and have such an unhealthy relationship.

They should insert the generic disclaimer "Don't try this at home" at the end after Miho encourages Mashiro to draw.

I have no idea why they would encourage suicide in shounen manga/anime. Maybe it would be somewhat acceptable in seinen since the audiences are old enough to think but definitely not in shounen.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.
