LOL. Mashiro's love story was so freakin' tame. "Oh my gosh, she looked at me" I know we've all had experiences like that - but it was just so weird. His story didn't even seem shounen. I would have rather read Eiji's love story. Oh well. Just like all of you, happy that part of the series is over. Can't wait to see the next episode!

''Fight'' part wasn't very well done in my opinion, it was very funny in manga.

To be honest, I'm happy they rushed Shiratori's arc because I really didn't enjoy the arc that much at all when I read the manga. I mean when I read the arc on the manga it just seemed to drag on and on. @_@

The double knockout with Mashiro and Takagi at the end reminded me a lot of L vs Kira fight in the hotel room.

Anyways, good episode. Hiramaru does it again. It's funny how he hates writing manga but comes up with his best stuff when he is motivated by women.

Wow they went through a lot in this episode. They did the whole super leader love fest in one episode. Understandable though since it wasn't that big of a story arc and they are really trying to work on the Nanamine arc coming up.

I'd rather spend my time watching Aoki and Hiramaru instead of Shiratori any day of the week. It looks like they're going to be wrapping it up this season, so 19 episodes to fit in everything from the manga. I suspect there will be some editing.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Glad Takagi dropped it, it didn't fit his style at all, and also not surprising that they didn't win, after all love stories aren't their strength.

I don't like how they removed the dialogue between Kaya and Azuki just like that. It was a pretty important part of the arc and the arc feels incomplete without it. Also, Kaya had absolutely no reaction to when Takagi said PCP won't be getting an anime, when she knows that has been their goal all along. Weak episode for me.

Aww they cut Eiji's reaction for losing in that fest, the most hilarious reaction from him since he never lose for a while & also specific detail of other mangaka's love story besides Mashiro.

Well at least they keep other things faithful.

Hiramaru's Shonen version of Kimi no Todoke LOL. Can't wait for another Hiramaru's scene in next ep.

This episode had really fast pacing imo, an entire fest in just one episode.
Next episode will be a lot of Hiramaru, I can't wait for it!

I'm glad Shujin got rid of Loveta. It isn't his job to do other mangaka story.

That call with Azuki was cute.

About the competition, I laughed at the fact that Iwasa and Fukuda were the last in the ranking xD
Also, who would have thought that Hiramaru was good in romance type :P

It look like next episode is Hiramaru centered. Will Aoki fall for him? He's so obscessed with her that he look like a psycho xD

It's really hard to join in this discussion as you all are discussing about the manga. -_-"

Anyway my thoughts on this is the build-up from episode 4 to 6 feels like a waste. I really hate how stubborn/dere Mashiro is to the point I feel like kicking his balls. I mean what happens if Takagi didn't help Shun to make his own storyboard? Mashiro is nothing without Takagi, but Takagi can create an awesome storyboard even without Mashiro's help. Good thing Takagi is a gentlemen and willing to do everything for the weak MC. I am able to withstand his stubborness previously but this one just too much. How I wish Mashiro fails in his romance one-shot and learn to appreciate Takagi more.

But the most surprising thing in this episode is the fact that they conclude 5 seconds of the result of the one-shot competition, as if it was nothing.

Good episode. Felt slightly rushed but at the same time, didn't mind this particular arc being sped up a bit since compared to other arcs in the manga, this one was around the bottom area in terms of interest. Good to see Shiratori be ready to take on Rabuta & Peace on his own after a short training camp by Takagi, who wants to solely focus on working with Mashiro. The little fight at the end to sort of clear the air was cool, the counter punches by both made it feel like they were roleplaying an Ashita no Joe match. Didn't win the Super Lovers Fest either but did respectable enough in a genre that wasn't in their wheelhouse, did much better than guys like Niizuma and Fukuda too in that aspect.

The last thing Moritaka needs to write about is romance.

Yeesh, another rushed episode. This season is going a million miles a second. That's all around a bit disappointing. I was hoping all the build up from the previous season would create some really impactful and interesting stories, but that hasn't been the case, so far.

Yeah actually glad that the show address on how if they work full-time separately then it's pretty clear it'll be their own work, not Ashirogi Mutou.

Did Mashiro just really said "the real Ashirogi Mutou is the friend we made along the way" by saying that bullcrap about Takagi working on Rabuta&Peace and he's working on romance then they all will broaden their ability blablabla and return as one again to create the ultimate manga?

Yeah, ever since S2 I've been aggreeing with Takagi more each time drama happen, and this time is the same as well. Mashiro should stop blabbering about how he trust Takagi whatsoever when in reality it's just him being indecisive and unable to tell his mind that Takagi even need to get him to say that. Why don't you use your brain that if he got serialized, then your marriage will practically never happen, especially since this is an era where popular manga got milked to the bone argh (though I find it especially damn weird on how they can't write story arc since they need to darnly worry each time about their ranking and the absolute speed of series to get axed, 2 time 6 meeting a year in a magazine of only 24 series).

Never liked that shun guy and his backstory, definitely can't care at all since it's just rather basic conflict without any connection on why I should care about him when I already care about the other main cast. On the other way, Takagi is without a doubt MVP here. My guy save their career and stopping them from randomly breaking up for "broadening up their horizon" stuff Mashiro indecisively think about. If the arc is rushed, then thank god. While it's not the ultimate stupidity the hospital arc is, it's still a complete slogfest to watch.
