All this failure is exciting!! The next one is going to be the one just wait! :D

Well at least they didn't spend a few chapters on that lame fantasy idea.

On the other hand, Iwase is as lovely as usual. <3

so everything they've learned so far through their mangas....
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Ahhh so they are trying to give Takagi and Mashiro as much experience in as many fields as possible and get them to try and make a collaboration of genres is what I'm getting from this chapter =O this should be interesting.

Mmmh, Hattori, you're so wise. Keep letting them making mistakes so that they gain experience in every genre. This is going to be interesting. I can't wait to see with what idea the two come up now.
Tell me how it feels, breaking down the old walls.

Is it just me, or was the art really different? Especially Mashiro. Not that I mind, just something I noticed.

Looks like they'll need to use everything they've learned for their next manga. Now I wonder what kind of manga they'll be doing next. It's very unclear of what type of genre they'll be doing.

Idk, but we already know about the TV series. Maybe it's just a reminder to the fans to watch it.

No, it wasn't just you that noticed it. Maybe the mangakas are trying to make Mashiro look older? He looks especially different here in the lower center panel.

I don't get why people are so fixated on that idea. Besides, that'll make it hard to discuss. Naming a manga after a main character works, naming it after an in-universe manga is just unnecessarily confusing.
If they actually go for that sort of thing, I hope they at least call it Baku.

I wonder what Hattori will suggest them to do next chapter. If it's the real deal, then I hope they call their next manga "Bakuman". XD

Btw, what does Bakuman mean? Anyone knows? :|

Edit: Nevermind. "Baku" means gamble, and "man" comes from manga. So basically, "gamble manga". Remember when Mashiro said something about living as a mangaka being a gamble?

That was interesting and unexpected....they were set-up for a fail. :P The storyline moved quick through this chapter as well. Can't wait for the next idea...I hope they get in. Then again, it would be interesting to see how things turn out if they fail.

Trying something simpler was unexpected, but a step in the right direction. Miura (aka Minato apparently) was right; Ashirogi have a psychological block when it comes to attempting a full-blown mainstream manga. Now that they have some experience in that field, combined with their FOUR YEARS of general manga experience (come on Ashirogi, KTM is a 4 year old idea with one new story idea attached to it, that won't beat Eiji), they should have enough talent in them to come up with their hit next chapter.

Just throw in some adventure... KTM is already a fantasy/supernatural manga so that's not a worry...

Really interesting.. you know something.... I kinda get it where Miura... no I mean Hattori really wanna go to... He pretty much wanna go to something completely different than the other mangas they have done and finally give their best in this last chance... and it will be like that since Shujin is better when pressured... dunno what you people think but looks like Ashirogi will pull off something really different and unexpected than we'll throe our socks off and realize that they're really something special XD

LOL... the whole chappie was funny... the Shizuka part was nice... thou I wanna see him working on his manga with the three assistants... and... hmm...When Saiko discovered that Miura wasn't the one who was actually suggesting what to do...but Hattori... priceless!!! Shows Saiko Miura's foolishness....

But I was really surprised of the outcome of the Battle Adventure, Fantasy manga.... Oh gosh why don't they tried it before... I liked the idea.. but it's really dangerous... when Kaya (before Miyoshi) thinks something is great then it might not be the case XD LOOOOL at Iwase... just look at her!! And Looks like Hattori is falling for her!!! eeeeeeek!

so they have to incorporate everything they've learned from all the other manga they've ever written...makes sense in a way I guess. Interested to see what kind of manga they'll come up with

and lol at Iwase coming on to Hattori XD

You could see that coming when Hattori basically told Miura to have Ashrigo go with whatever so long as it was more mainstream. Can't wait to see what the boys come up with in their final attempt.

Poor Hattori trying his best to handle Iwase. LOL.

I gotta say, i saw this coming. Takagi always did say he was better under pressure. I like that they aren't giving them ANY advice on this one. Now they can just do whatever the hell they want, which is what they should have done in the first place. I think they'll likely do their usual dark sci-fi thing, just making it a little more mainstream than usual.

I really really really hope Iwase starts getting more face time, she definitely deserves it. I'd love for her and Hattori to actually get together. And silly me, i thought Miura was finally starting to think for himself, but he's still blindly following Hattori's orders. Sad.

Hattori really is impressive. He can see talent and can foster it. That is a very difficult thing.

I guess it's finally time for them to stand on their own feet. They've been pretty much relying on their editors up until now. I'm excited to see what they could come up with this time! This is the real deal! It's make or break.

don't understand ohba choosing names for chapters, this one should just be called "the return of hattori" lol.

stopper of magma sounds very much like hunterxhunter only with some slights changes.
next manga should be the ashirogi muto one.
