----------------------------------------
So it seems the miho need to pass some sort of test before the studio approve of her taking the role of the heroine. She memorized all the lines of the heroine and read them to mashiro on the phone. There's a new character being introduced, some otaku guy who is obsessed with the new voice actress who appeared couple of chapters ago.

okay. on the looks of things, Miho won't get the role && Ishizawa (the fat-ass guy at the end was him, right?) will probably be part of those who'll ruin Miho's chance on taking the role orr whatever he'll do will probably be interesting XD

Yeah who the hell was that dude at the end? New character? Meh. Either way, really liked the chapter! Finally they get an anime. I hope Azuki gets the role so the series won't drag for another long ass time.

I will get angry over this if Miho won't get the role, (getting angry on someone from manga that's a bakuman for you)
Now there will be trolling by Ishizawa (Fat guy... it's him right, he has a same face and again will be anoing) anyway good to see that autor still have new ideas for continuation because bakuman is just great. But i wouldn't mind if there would be another piece form him, after all he come up with DN as well

Then it comes a new arc and one of the lasts, i think. Probably the main plot of the arc will be Ishizawa revealing that Azuki and Saiko are a couple to the bosses of the Studio and they will not let her voice Naho.

I was quite confident that the manga was coming to an end, but this new direction sounds more like one of Nanamine's arcs (i.e.: how to dilute the manga in order to make it last longer) than a proper arc.

Ohba and Obata, I'm disappoint.

This arc is pointless to me. I really want Mashiro and Miho to get married but with this arc just seems to be dragging it out.
Also fat people in this manga seems to always be causing trouble for some weird reason.
Well decent chapter I guess.

Ishizawa haven't got a work for manga in 5 years, all right that's the reason for become fat like he is right now.

I do have to agreed that Ririka is cute too but I do love like Azuki too.

What can Ishizawa do seriously?
He doesn't seem like the intellection type that can do much like the guy starting his own business by making the greatest name.

Well, I predicted that Ririka would probably have a big mouth, but... ISHIZAWA, of all people? What is he planning on? Telling the whole world "Azu-kyun is dating Ashirogi Muto" and make the company reject her on the grounds of not implying a nepotism of sort? Well, that suits his character, actually :/ but... meh... I will be really, really angry if Miho won't voice Naho just because of him :/

I'm amazed how people call this a trolling. Clearly you've never seen trolling!

It's not trolling to show how it's not just a competition and obstacles for mangakas but for seiyuus too. I'm actually satisfied they've at last decided to make an arc about Azuki's trouble. So far she's been "out there somewhere doing nothing and succeeding"

And I hope there's going to be at least one more arc about their anime's making-of. What, you think all there is to creating anime of your series is having it approved and poof!, it magically appears on TV? Surely it's not, and an "inside" series like Bakuman should totally let us into that part of the mangaka's job.

And Ishizawa returns, clearly having turned into a fatty otaku NEET. An Ririka shows us how Internet ruins everything. At least when you let too much info into it.

Wow. I barely remembered him. On one hand, I'm slightly disappointed with this new potential conflict. On the other, there is potential for more commentary on the industry, specifically how seiyu and idols must be "pure" at all times.

I've noticed a drop of quality in Bakuman imo. I hope this isn't just to prolong the series!!!!!

I'm gonna guess that fat guy ruins Miho's chances somehow, Ashirogi gets pissed, that other VA girl gets the role, and then there's another long arc. I hope not, I want Miho to get the role somehow.

And I thought the fat guy at the end was Nakai for some reason. Guess not. :/

I'm rather amused with the readers' response to thinking that Ishizawa is a new character. Are you guys sure we're following the same manga? ( I jest, I jest )

But interesting development and actually, I'm rather pleased. It's refreshing to shift focus in a different direction and possibly have it center on Azuki. Perhaps she'll find a rival in Kitami Ririka. I'm all for this new direction.

I feel that they are making the reversis anime too much a given before the official announcement that in the end they won't get their anime because Nizuma will bring a better manuscript for the anime then ashiromuto.
This feeling is even more accentued by how the rumor of the anime will get spreaded before it's actually announced.

I don't think they'll pull their offer on their anime. The editor-in-chief had the final say in whether Zombie Gun or Reversi would get animated even after getting all the original manuscripts for an anime adaptation from Nizuma himself, and he still chose Reversi. Then again, it's all up to the directors and producers of the anime at that point, but still.

Plus, Nizuma's reaction at the end of the last chapter after speaking with the editor-in-chief gave off the impression that he was fired up, happy, and would do better in the same, long running rivalry sense of "I won't lose!". He acknowledged that his series wasn't getting animated for the time being.

Not to mention that Hattori himself stated it was a done deal. Knowing him, he wouldn't state something of that caliber without being absolutely sure their serialization would get animated.

LOL Ishizawa has gotten to be as fat and gross as Nakai. yeah the same guy they went to school with and if your watching the anime it got to the part where they went to him to help Aoki but yeah he was a loser.

oh and Ririka said way too much.

she's so going to get screwed over due to the fact that her "boyfriend" is the mangaka.

nothing unexpected happened this chapter, i think we all knew this new arc would be about the problems Mihou would be facing in trying to get the role.

In a close future i predict that otaku starting an uprising online, revealing Mihous relationship status with Mashiro. This will cause some trouble because the anime company dont want it to seem like they are biased in their auditions. This can go 2 ways IMO:

a) Mihou eventually gets the role anyway

b) Mihou dont get the role, but she and Mashiro still gets married

or the secret answer c) She dont get the role and they dont get married and the manga is prolonged into a trainwreck where it can continue forever and ever and ever and..

If you read any of the other posts in this thread, it would give you an indication. He could very well inform the company(ies) that handle the voice actress auditions that Azuki and Mashiro are involved, thus creating a biased audition. It would seem unfair to the other actresses auditioning for Reversi's role if Azuki had that kind of advantage. It could hurt her chances or disqualify her completely. For all we know, that may not happen, but it's a very credible possibility.

I literally rofl'ed when seeing Ishizawa.
And man that blog looks so believeable with all those smileys and shit. Ohba sure knows how to imitate the typing style of your typical annoying girl.

Aside from that - amazing chapter. Really liked the conversation between Mashiro and Azuki (and I'm usually not one who's into romance in manga). And I'm actually not as bothered by an Ishizawa mini arc since it might give an option to tie many other loose ends along the way, hopefully.

5/5 for me.

I hope this just causes a minor problem not something so major that she doesnt get the role. If she doesn't get it im dropping cause this whole build up to this point took too long. They made what 4 different manga to get to this point.

I dont like the fat people in this manga they all are just there to make the characters you actully like suffer.

Kind flat, that Ishizawa is a fat loser now, who's only purpose is to be hated. But it was obvious, that Ririka's appearance would stir up problems.

Scene's from Reversi were sooooo Death Note'ish.

This is now definetly one of my favourite chapters as of yet! ^^=

I loved Mashiro and Azuki's conversation so much. That cut scene from Reversi was awesome (but that was definetly Light and Ryuk there xD). I swear, these chapters keep getting better and better.

I don't know how I feel about the end. While I certainly don't prefer him, I don't mind Ishizawa making an appearance, especially as an antagonist. After all, as Niizuma-kun said, recycling's great. ^^
But I hope things won't be as predictable as they seem. I feel that he's gonna figure that Mashiro's dating Azuki, and he'll either:
1) Spread rumors about that seiyuu with the blog and Mashiro, just for the hell of it, or (more likely)
2) Leak info everywhere about their relationship, saying that if Azuki gets the part, it's only because she's seeing the mangaka and has no real talent,
or something along those lines.

Not to say that any of that wouldn't be interesting enough, but things have been so great so far, it'd be a shame for anything to get ruined, especially now that they've got an anime.

(I wish Niizuma-kun had been in this chap. ;_;)

I never expected Ishizawa to be back with a vengeance. So this will be a big big challenge for Azuki. She needs to prove that she can get the role because she's capable and not because she's Mashiro's girlfriend. I hate that Ishizawa! And I am really praying that this Ririka won't add to the troubles ahead of them.
