It's Hattori comeback!! :D

Miura really matured a lot. To let go of his pride...

I was pretty sure they would fail the first two times, they wouldn't have give them 3 try if not. I was also pretty sure that KTM or Money and Intelligence 2.0 wouldn't pass, again, it doesn't fit with the drawing at the end of the OP. My guess is that they will go for a shounen in a modern setting, like Crow or a lot of anime like Durarara.

Iwasa have fallen in level 2 of creepiness xD
It look that she even go further in the preview... I kinda feel pity for her.

That was interesting, I liked both ideas for the manga, but it looks like they keep failing, I wonder why.

With just one sentence, Hattori shows that he is a million times better as an editor than Miura xD

Good episode, and it's awesome to see Hattori finally join in to help Ashirogi Muto and Miura try and formulate the best manga they possibly could to serialize with their final chance to impress the editorial department, risking expulsion from Shounen Jump in the process should they fail. This name is truly the embodiment of 'Bakuman' since they're gambling their future with manga on this in a do or die fashion. Shame KTM didn't get the green light since I did love the concept of that being turned to a serialized manga, even if its just an upgrade on their own idea in the past.

I'm very glad they didn't go with KTM. That sounded so cheap to me. Two seasons of trial and error, and they had me thinking they were just gonna take a simple way out and go back to Money and Intelligence "but different" instead of something brand new. If KTM were a success, then everything else would've been obsolete and they'd have learned nothing. In a meta sense, KTM just wouldn't have made Bakuman good. So I'm expressing my content with the way things turned out in this episode.

Hattori should've at least try it.........

hattori: (with some mature changes) we meet couple of time, seduce me.
xD

yeah it was weird for miura to behave like this.
love the hattori coming back to help ashirogi, in my eyes he's the only one truly understand their ability.

too bad though KTM didn't work, i would have read it.
don't understand though what so bagged takagi in "magma stopper" story, not developed setting for mainstream is what make them interesting, you start with some nice average action, leading it to long-run stories with lots of twists.

next, coming the best arc in this season.

These poor assistants. Considering how unstable creating manga is, they may as well have taken the half-salary.

Miura seems like he's forcing Moritaka and Takagi to branch out as much as possible. Presumably to broaden their experience and give them more tools to work with when it comes to creating manga. That certainly isn't like him. Which, surprisingly, it turns out that's because it isn't him doing it. At least Hattori is doing one thing right this episode.

Iwase is about to ruin +Natural with her obsession with Hattori. Clearly the fact that she doesn't care all that much about manga is starting to show more and more. I wouldn't be surprised if +Natural ends before too much longer. I hope Hattori knows what he's doing by humoring her affections.

Can't say I was too interested in KTM or Magma Stoppers. But, it looks like whatever Moritaka and Takagi land on next will be their permanent series. I'm somewhat excited to see what it'll be.
