Takagi was amazing this episode, Miura on the other hand...
I wish they'll still go serious since that just suits them better imo.

Nooooo! I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't reeeeeeally don't want them to draw a gag manga!!!!!
They should make other one-shots (or at least think of other stories) that give good results. They have the potential for the top spots so they should go with a manga that ranks in the top 3 with the first chapter/one shot. This is the only successful way I can think of which would make me really happy.
I don't know why they have to focus that much on jokes and whatever. Sure it can bring success but I don't think it would be a cool way to their goal.

And Miho needs a nice character setting for her job to complete their goal. I don't think anything in a gag manga would suit her! Her appearance in TRAP was something to go with and I think it should be similar now..

Oh wow this editor really sucks... I wonder if they'll switch from editors back to the previous one! And well Yuriko sure had some nice scenes this episode, quite enjoyed that as well and is that purple haired girl the same one from the middle school? She sure looks the same and her interest for manga makes it even more interesting for me :p

Isn't that the whole point of the anime though? lol.

I laughed when Miyoshi readed those cheesy text xD

That encounter between Aoki and that other girl was interresting, I wonder where it will lead. Maybe she will become her associate like Takagi is for Mashiro?

I'm glad that they made peace with Miura, it couldn't have continued if they were constantly at war against each other. Miura was wrong to say that to them, but I understand that he cracked in front of Mashiro selfishness.

i have extremely mixed feelings about Miura. I like him as a person, but despise him as an editor. But at the same time, he's extremely annoying and overly persistent about his dreams, yet hard-working when he really wants to get his point across.

I too is tired of all the crap they're going through because of the fraud work .
The pairings are shaping ~ .
He flipped the switch . Just drop it and be serious .
Iwase-san !? .. she still haven't change though ~ .. that left me a bit teary .
Aoki and Iwase .. looks like , Man in the Mirror but It's Woman . Congruent .
Just hope that it'll turns out well .

Shame that Mashiro and Takagi gave in to the desires of Miura, being a bit too selfless in that situation by going with a gag manga in the end despite knowing better. Sure Miura put a lot of hard work into researching data and collecting resources to help the two of them excel more in the gag manga field but even so, its still not taking advantage of their talents well at all. Although I can understand why Mashiro and Takagi in the end were a little more willing to bend to the other side given Future Watch's disappointing ranking in the end.

Are they really truly happy that they're doing a gag manga? Definitely not. Maybe temporarily happy if they can get a serialization but not close enough to really be proud of this in their career I'd say. BUT, it's gonna be a good experience for them to get more sense of comedic timing to apply in future manga if necessary to mix with the serious tones I'd say, and it's just refreshing to see them do something out of their comfort zone as a watcher of the show. Is it gonna be the best experience for them? No, but while I'm not excited for their gag manga, it's only a part of the long running journey for them to use this as a platform for even greater heights.

For once I see Mashiro, Takagi and Miyoshi as college students only because they showed them in the lecture room. Wish they looked more grownup because they look the same as 14

Miura is honestly a pretty good editor, going all that way just to pull out so many references for them and even including notes. That's a lot of dedication and care he's putting towards the boys.

miura is just an ass, he's making them do what he wants to read, not what they really capable of.
the moment where takagi just shouted was badass directed, so love this anime.

Miura done goofed. I kind of feel like he's irredeemable at this point.

I still don't care for Aoki's attitude. I also don't like that general character type; someone who isn't experienced with love but fixates on this fictional, idealized romance. It's not too different from Nakai placing women on pedestals and simping. It's just not a realistic, or fair, standard of relationships. But the main issue I have is that people like that tend to be so defensive and prideful about their behavior. I wouldn't mind as much if they were just open to looking at things differently. Aoki seems to be doing that a little, but her attitude definitely doesn't help. There's nothing wrong with being inexperienced.

I guess we're moving forward with Hitman 10? I don't know how much of a process it would be, but I would probably try to appeal to the editor-in-chief to try and change editors.
