Miyuki (azuki’s mom) is funny. Best part of that whole show was when they
found the yearbook. Definitely getting better by the episode. It moves a little
slow but it seems to be gaining steam.

While one could argue it was a bit slow, I actually think it was perfectly paced. Also after experiencing so many recent 13 episode animes that sometimes felt they were too fast-paced, it's nice to enjoy one that goes for 25 episodes and feels perfectly paced. Really gives time to develop characters, situations, and emotions.

Sometimes even in reality.
But that certainly was one crazy coincidence. I hope the story of his uncle life put some thought into his mind and not let the girl go around until he makes it big. Cool idea and all but you end up with nothing. You just work like crazy while some other guy is deflowering her.
Nice motivation for work and all but boy it sucks.

Anyway am enjoying this show up until now it has a nice sweet feeling. We got some nice incites in this episode. About his uncle, Miho's mum and Machiro's parents.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying this series so far. While each episode is not packed with action, it's a nice change of pace and it's clear that the writers planned out each episode well so that nothing is rushed but enough is done that you can see development occurring, too. Added to that, the humour is cute rather than overdone, and the characters themselves are fun to watch.

4/5 for this episode.

It wasn't, but if I remember correctly they have more ;)
It is in the manga. Chapter 4

The anime has been okay this far. I do hate the OP and the ED songs but they can be skipped :P

I wish they'll soon concentrate more on manga than Miho-Mashiro relationship xDD

Mashiro liking the daughter of his uncle's crush is really lame and kind of pointless to me. It felt more like a convenient way to confirm some useless information on the uncle than to push anything forward. But since they've made a goal for themselves and decided to work in this episode, I guess it's fine.

Oh... Wait, what?
Right, I was watching Bakuman. I didn't even realize it.
I was like... Watching, but it feels like I didn't pay attention.
I think I got the general outline of the episode though, and it's not bad, not bad at all.
Also, (yeah I know it's anime and all) Miho and her mother are quite alike.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Lol another Death Note reference FTW! It'd sure be nice to have as much manga as his uncle did lol ... learning about the manga process was pretty cool. Visiting Akari's mom = uh ... okay ... lol o_O
Personally I think the whole marrying thing is weird, I mean how do you know what will happen? -_-"

Bakuman at its best, but how will they pull it off in a 25 episode series...
Best part, conversation between them and Mizuki
Takagi got busted ahead hehe

After reading the manga, just after ep 1.. I was rooting for Mizuki and the other rivals, their physique, style, voice, and attitude so I can imagine well while reading again

Good stuff, I always enjoy hearing the Hero OP in the anime.

Plus I found this and couldnt help but notice the similarities.......

supposedly just like in Bakuman they use pen names, in reality the true identities of the creators of Death Note and Bakuman arent really known, but the creator of Tottemo! Luckyman is usually believed to be tied to them, all this is based on whether or not you want to believe the hints that Bakuman drops. Heres that specific OP, pretty catchy lol.

It's hard to consider this anything less than fate/destiny. Though I admit it's a little creepy, too. It's like he's unconsciously trying to fulfill his dead uncle's goals and wishes. And WOW!! is Miho's mom HAWT!!1!

Miho's mom and her relationship with the mangaka uncle added a nice touch to the plot, it was great to see their determination increase after they discover the studio and the letters.

I also laughed when the mom called Akito "the nerd type". :D

Now we should get more Moritaka-Miho development and I'll like Bakuman even more.
