| THIS IS AN MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Well that was a bit interesting. I wonder what they will find at the studio. |
     |
| Nice chapter, the main character (don't remember his name ^^') is starting to get interested into the mangaka thing, so this should speed things up a bit. And why do Ooba likes so much to have characters that are genius? :P |
| I can't wait to know what will happen between Moritaka and Azuki!!! |
 |
| The psychological nature of this keeps it interesting. Can't wait until they decide on the type of manga they're going to be doing. |
 |
| I like the realness of the dialogue. It keeps me interested. Can't wait to see what happens next. ^_^ |
| another great chapter. i'm really diggin the conversations they are having. can't wait to see what they find at the studio. |
 |
| The "smart" convo was nice...a guy that's smart and uses it to get to the top of the class...a girl that's smart and reigns in that intelligence so as to fit in better with the rest of the class...and another guy that's smart but would rather just have an ordinary life...which is changing oh so quickly now...xD |
  |
| Hm...liked the different kinds of intelligence they talked about. It was interesting. Yay, a studio! Now they be real mangakas. =3 Also. Azuki is so adorable! Ah! I hope we get to see more of her. Saiko and Takagi are cute tooo. ^^ |
| Great chapter.That was an interesting conversation about smartness. Looking forward to see what they can find at the studio. |
 |
| wow yeah the intelligence convo was definitely interesting. i really enjoy how things like this can be really seen in real life. can't wait to see what happens. i really didnt think his father and grandfather would accept/allow him to be one so easily. pretty cool that that happened tho. |
| Saiko has his own studio = yay. :D i wonder what type of stories Akito will make. xD |
 |
| I think the best part of this chapter was his smile at the bottom at page 10...i shud try and get that as an avatar... |
| Great chapter, but I'm afraid that whole romance thing will spoil this series a bit -_-'' |
 |
RAMPANT SEXISM IS RAMPANT. Nice to know that tigers don't change stripes, Ohba. >_< |
| pretty good chapter, it's starting to get interesting. I'm looking forward to the whole romance thing but there are two things that worry me: 1. Moritakas behaviour towards Azuki: I hope this won't be any generic manga-romance, where the main-character is unable to speak to the person he likes for ages. 2. The smart-guys-theme: I hope this won't end up in some genius-battle like in Death Note. |
| A good follow-up to the first chapter, but I hope this introductory "oh yeah, everything is going great" phase doesn't last for too much longer or I'm going to get bored with it pretty fast. |
| Following this kid's train of thought is really neat, Ooba really has a knack for it is seems. Still sticking with it the 2 leads are really good and I imagine many more really good conversations between them. |
| My anime list |
| Well, I didn't like the fact that this chp is accusing girls of being stupid... and that they"dont undersatnd men dreams"... and that smart girls are not appealing at all. Is this really the way most guys think? Wow. -_-' Other than that, an ok chapter. Looking forward to seeing the studio. |
     |
| To be honest, I didn't like Saiko in the first chapter, he seemed a pretty weak main character to me. But seeing the way he replies to Takagi, by dodging and twisting the questions, I really begin to see the Death Note authors' spirit within him. It's like he changed radically in such a short time, and I like his new side much better. |
| Uh oh. I'm getting that feeling from an Ohba manga again. The feeling that says: "This manga is smarter than me." Still, a GREAT chapter with fantastic dialogue. The "women can't understand men's dreams" nagged at me a little, but I'm sure Azuki will be a strong female lead. |

| Cool chapter, I wonder what's at the studio. |

Grimmm said: I like the realness of the dialogue. It keeps me interested. same here. that is really the thing that makes me love this manga so much |
| The chapter and the conversation was amazing I believe the studio has a trap or a hidden secret, something important that is the test of his father and granpa for Saiko to see if he really wants to become in a mangaka Waiting the next! Kouta~ |
  |
| Ohba likes long brainy conversations. |
| Great, more geniuses. Though the parts with Azuki were interesting. HappyPear said: It's more on society than women.Hmm, just two chapters in and it looks pretty solid. True, the dialogue was very interesting, but it really did seem like it was dissing on girls. |
wtfyourface said: MistaCloudStrife said: OVER 9000!!!From 100-1000, how much do you love LWL? |
| Never thought I'd enjoy this as much as I do. It's really a remarkable shonen series. |
| Some excellent dialogue here. |
 |
| good chapter I thought that his parents would not allow him to do it, but they gave him the go-ahead. |
| Even though that chapter was somewhat simplistic I was hooked the whole way through I'm actually really really looking forward to the next chapter ^_^! |
| nice chapter |
 |

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Dialogue is WIN! And I enjoyed getting some insight into how Mashiro's family is run. I'd like to meet his dad. |
 |
| Liked the end of the chapter. Also didn't like the talk about girls.. even though I can understand why they think that way, however, in real life things aren't as simple as that. Too lazy to go into that now but if guys really think that way.. you really don't understand girls at all.. ^^ |
| Lol, the talk about 9th graders was so true .. |
| So even Azuki want to go to the infirmary (not in the anime) and he got Uncle's work place now, how cool is that! |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
masonmajor said: Excellent dialogue accompanied by sickening misogyny. Azuki plays stupid because she thinks clever isn't sexy, and men don't want women they can't look down on. I thought this was some of the most sexist pages I have ever read in any manga. The whole girls should act dumb thing was shockingly sexist especially for the main characters. As someone who was always the smartest in her class a bunch of pages in this made me want to barf or punch them out. |

Nice to know that tigers don't change stripes, Ohba. >_< Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that. “She’s [Iwase] the smartest girl in class grade-wise, but I don’t like how she takes pride in that. That’s why I actually think she’s dumb.” Wow, Takagi, so the girl is dumb because she takes pride in being smart? Where’s the logic in that?! Sorry that not every pretty girl wants to pander to your need to feel superior by pretending to be less intelligent. But there’s more! “She [Azuki] knows what it means to be a girl. She knows by instinct that the best thing for a girl is to get married and become somebody’s wife…” Riiiiiiight. So yeah, the first chapter was intriguing but now I’m disinclined to finish after this hunk of misogyny in the second chapter. |

| In other words, smart is the one that feigns ignorance. That was an interesting conversation. |

Glad other people feel the same way, I thought I'd check this out, cause great ratings and what not but THE MISOGYNISTIC VIEWS! I honestly felt furious reading them and don't think I'll be continuing |
| I'm annoyed by sexist parts and I think writer definitely thinks like that about women. It's idiotic that Japanese society like that in real world as well even though Japan is one of the most developed countries. Smart women can be more attractive in many ways, you can chat with them in many topics reasonable, also they can perform many things and they should know they can do it, this gives them solid characteristic. Thoughts like in this manga just indicates that writer is childish, visionless and has ancient simplistic brain. I hope this manga can fix itself in future episodes and mangakas can show that they are not this kind of people. |
