It was to be expected that they wouldn't end first, but it is what it is. Also, 5000 character limit, lol!

Moritaka is very quickly becominh my most hated anime character of all time. At least Takagi is cool enough for the two of them.

Texting part.. LOL

Anyway, being 3rd place was expected since they have to go more trials than they have reached so far. xD

I wonder who's the 2nd one and will they need to beat the 2nd placer other than Nizuma?

GuessSubs wasn't bad with only one man staff.

Nizuma Eiji - Crow.. i would like to read what kind of story he made after meeting up with that bird and chasing after it.. :D lol

Mashiro's text messages.. he was so cute when he wrote only that single messgae of 5000 characters all the night and only sent it at 9 am.. *love*

and itwas also lovely when Takagi was calculating how much money they will get after a manga page.. *.*

Yeah, and did they add that part with the guy yelling at them in the anime version? I remember reading the manga and being upset with Mashiro for doing that, haha.

Glad the show is picking up again.

I don't really hate him or anything. I just don't see why he is so popular. So far he's just been an eccentric that makes animal noises and draws manga like mad. I hope I'll be able to see what everyone else sees in him... it just seems to be taking a while.

Nope. At this point, they haven't shown much of his true awesomeness yet, so it's normal you don't like him. When I read the manga, I found all the characters to be pretty lame until about 40 chapters in, where everything just started to become really awesome.

If this story has a lot of truth in it we just learned why we get so many shallow anime and manga instead of really awesome ones with amazing story and plot and interesting characters.
Really it's really disappointing seeing two people having a hard time simply because their stories are not simplistic but original and meaningful.

Moritaka needs to shut the fuck up. Plenty of people would be overjoyed at getting 3rd place, but instead he decides to turn all emo and act immature about the situation.


He is always aiming for higher (his name means "highest") so one of their goal is to beat Niizuma. Aiming for higher is not going emo since he recovered and it made his fighting spirit even higher. Also, getting 3rd place while the first place got MORE THAN HALF of the votes mean that they got a really low percentage of votes. Nizuma just beat everyone else by FAR. So the third place is not really something to brag about. It's not like they are even close.

HOWEVER, just like Hattori said, they got potential because they are still in high school. I understand Moritaka's frustration since Nizuma is about the same age as them. But Nizuma is a natural-born genius mangaka, so it can't be helped.

This is Shounen Jump, so it's NOT a seinen magazine. So that is why they are having so much trouble since their style (initially) is more suited for seinen.

I really don't like Mashiro now because I think he's kind of a brat because all he's thinking about is how to make the most popular manga so they can get an anime and he and Miho can be together. Whereas Takagi is making manga because he actually enjoys coming up with the story. Mashiro is being selfish and pushing things too much. I mean I can tell he enjoys manga and does want to be a successful mangaka but he overall motive is to be Miho ==;

On a side note this episode was okay, I thought for sure they might get first or at least second but oh well and I am starting to like Miyoshi more :3

Mashiro is such a spoiled brat it's killing a bit the purpose and tension of the show. Good episode anyway, very detailled on the manga side, and the texts thingy is kinda cool.

yes it seems like mashiro is being selfish just so he can get an anime to be wth miho, but that the whole plot and reason for drawing mangas with Takagi, don't forget that t was takagi who brought mashiro into drawing mangas with him. So there no need dislike mashiro hes a man in love and is wanting be with the girl he loves while takagi gets to enjoy writing for the manga, it's like a win-win ~.~

Well, I still feel like mentioning that Eiji is probably one of the biggest idiots I've ever seen.
Though he's apparently writing some good manga.
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.

I get that but still it's like he's not satisfied with anything they get. I understand they are aiming for #1 but he could have been a little bit happy about getting 3rd and people actually liking what they had come up with. All he could do was be upset because if they didn't get the most popular vote then that means no serialization and that means no anime and no being with Miho. I just think he should appreciate the progress they made and all. He's too single minded about everything.

That was a good way to react to this situation. I think they could do really well with mainstream if they really applied. If they can write something so good that isn't mainstream, I can see them turning into really great mangakas.
