Azuki just acted like an irrational little whiny b****. <.< Being honest with each other is all good and important, but their relationship has nothing to do with what Takagi is doing/has done.
I don't like it that they're doing a gag manga. Doubt they're gonna stick to it, cause this story is very much dependant on what numbers they pull in polls lol. If they're just steadily in double digits then it's kinda boring. Ah well, moving on to the next one!

Sigh. Takagi is pissing me off, he's not willing to call Miyoshi himself, but is instead waiting for HER to apologize? What is up with that.

And Mashiro's stupid. "I can't trust you" doesn't mean that Azuki is dumping you.

This is exactly what I thought when the episode ended. Both of them were just plain dumb in this episode. Still liked it though.

Oh my god that ending, but I know they'll make up since Bakuman most certainly has a happy ending.

Ok, I'm tired of these romantic dramas in Bakuman. Can we go back to the point?!

Yoshida and Hiramaru saved this episode.

Indeed, it's not bad but I'm addicted to this because of the manga part.

Oh shit, they really need to explain themself, it would be stupid to break up because of such a misunderstanding... But to clear the problem, they need to go to the root and it's that stupid letter.

I really love how Yoshida is manipulating Hiramaru, it's hilarious xD

I don't know what to think about their new manga. I think that what Nizuma said might be foreshadowing...

Next episode, it look like Nakai will be an ass with Aoki. I'm starting to like him less and less.

Is it that hard to explain they are exchanging ideas?
I could say the same for Azuki, it's not a problem of her and Mashiro, if it was something serious he would tell her.

Argh! That is just stupid misunderstanding. I hope they can fix it quickly. Why can't Takagi just explain that he and Aoki have been talking to exchange opinions? It's harmless.

And poor Aoki for falling for Takagi. I feel bad for her.

Yoshida is a evil genius and I like him! That smile after he got Hiramaru do what he wants... priceless!

Fukuda is also as funny as ever before. I really like him.

Miho annoys me for saying that stuff for Mashiro. Seriously, it's not Mashiro's job to tell them anything about Takagi. She should have asked Takagi to tell. And all that trust thing.... argh! Just no.
And Mashiro, she actually didn't say anything about dumping you. You still got a change so talk to her.

At this point, even Takagi must realize that it's not innocent and proper to spend nights away talking with a girl, even if some of this conversations can be related to work. That's why he finds it hard to explain, knowing how quick Miyoshi would swipe that excuse away. And he's also quite right, he didn't do anything wrong per se, so apologizing isn't required.

Also, that's some first-rate emotional blackmail you got going there Miho, you b*itch.
In their sort of special-weird relationship, where they never see each other, "I can't trust you" is pretty much the same as "we're finished"...

I felt like slapping Azuki right there, Mashiro has absolutely nothing to do with what Takagi's doing and then she started interrogating him about something completely different, of course there will be secrets if you agree never to properly TALK

And why was she expecting Mashiro to explain Takagi's actions when he's right there? Tagaki and Miyoshi need to deal with their own problems, Azuki's only making it worse

Honestly I don't mind Takagi acting like an idiot and messing up like he is now.

Up until now, he's almost been TOO perfect, basically the "ace" character of the show. Smart, talented, attractive, successful, always saying and doing the right thing.

We've seen Sakai frustrate the audience plenty, now it's Takagi's turn. They're both human, it's ok not to be perfect 100% of the time.

Annoying episode. Bakuman's romances are sometimes exhausting (looking at Azuki and Mashiro)

Got SUPER invested in Miyoshi vs Takagi drama though. I guess I wanted my girl, Miyoshi, to finally get the spotlight for being the most supportive and down to earth girl on the set. But Alas, turned into dramaaa... And both sides were downright headaches.

She's doing all she can to support these boys but the whole time they've treated her like she's painful. Sure, there's some rare display of gratitude like that "arigatou" gag that they casually throw in (an unpaid internship would at least give you a certificate... Hahaha good times). She knows she ain't got any of that artistic mojo and she knows she's no John Milton. But she's humble.

ALSO they're willing to give her a key but not willing to be more open about their schedules cause they don't want to deal with the "assumed" drama. If they were honest they'd have no drama to begin with.


I mean, Mashiro and Takagi are all about being true to each other, on the same wavelength, they're all about that solidarity business. Sure Takagi did make it a point to say he had a girlfriend but still theyve got to communicate.

Mashiro X Takagi/Fukada gang OTP, theyre really respectful to each other and just seem like better people dat way. Fingers crossed.

Miyoshi can just date me TBH. Really also like Takagi though. Have some unwarranted hate for Mashiro and azuki, don't know what to do. Hope things turn around.

Yoshida too good for existence

The way Yoshida always just baits Hiramaru into continuing drawing the Otter manga is fucking priceless and never gets old whatsoever. Whether its through bribing meetings with women or making him spend tons on a import car and a big ass place to live in, Hiramaru just always falls for everything in such a gullible fashion lol.

Takagi could not have handled this situation in a worse manner than he did this time around. Sure, he didn't know about the letter along with Mashiro, fairs, but if Miyoshi found out about you meeting Iwase somehow, you have to confront that issue head-on and speak to her directly about this whole thing and clear it up. No point in just playing the waiting game just because you don't want to make up excuses in front of her and seem like you're cheating in that way, since silence about the whole thing speaks volumes to her in her head and rightfully so.

Azuki and Mashiro had their own little tense conversation too as she didn't believe him when he was in doubt about whatever was happening with Takagi and the zoo situation plus she dropped the bombshell on how she knew about Mashiro's uncle being the guy that her own mother was in love with and had a similar-ish story to the two of them but from the past. From what I've seen from this anime, both are pretty stubborn and not easy going in tense situations like these and it didn't help that Mashiro thought that Azuki dumped him at the end by exclaiming that she doesn't trust him anymore. Overall, the four of them really failed each other in a sense with the lack of communication from both parties, but Takagi definitely was the most to blame in this current pandemic. Hopefully all the misunderstandings will be cleared up soon, doesn't help that even Aoki's now in love with Takagi as well on top of the Iwase stuff.

A lot of things this episode.

First, I think Mashiro and Takagi are kind of idiots when it comes to relationships. I feel they're taking their relationships sort of for granted, especially Takagi. It's not inaccurate to say that Miyoshi is the "cleaning lady", because that's how Takagi basically treats her, especially recently. He should've explained this straight at the front. If he had been honest and paid more attention to her, none of this would be happening.

And Mashiro I think is stupid too for hiding things. If you won't say, then at least say Takagi should explain it and push him towards explaining it.

My perception of Nakai switches back and forth from respecting/rooting for him to disliking him. Sometimes he's just disgusting. I sure hope he doesn't do anything that can be considered sexual harassment with that assistant... He's annoying in that regard, and I dislike that part of him.

Yoshida is a master of manipulation. Maybe he should've become something else instead of an editor lol

Miho dumping Moritaka would be the greatest thing to happen in this series to date. Let that happen for all I care.

That being said, Takagi is being kind of ridiculous at the moment. I know that Miyoshi is doing some serious mental gymnastics over this situation, but that just seems like it's because she has no idea what is going on. I think she'd be fine if Takagi just explained what was happening. Nothing even has happened really. It's insanity, I have no idea why he is being so prideful about this right now.

This whole season is proving to be rather messy and convoluted.
