THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Nishizawa spread rumors on the internet that Mashiro is in a relationship with Miho, since Miho is a voice actress, some 'fans' starts to throw out her cd, anime of her. And some fans of Ashirogi throw out Ashirogi's manga. Their whole relationship came to spot light of some newspaper at the end with their pics in middle school.

That kind of behavior is actually quite common with Otakus, they just their voice actresses to be holy virgins for their entire lives until they are "old".

You guys got it wrong, Red Hawk Neo didn't drop Bakuman, they just won't be posting downloads or links on their site anymore. The scans will still be available in external online readers, and possibly torrents and similar sources.

Nevertheless, it's taking them somewhat long this week again... can't wait to finally get my weekly fix of Bakuman ;)

Some otakus that is. Since can probably be considered one when I am still below 20 years old and I already have a more than average list of completed animes. But don't you think that the extreme one are the Otakus in Japanese? I mean I am not like that, rather, I can't really be bothered with the life of others but come across article that describe the medicore actions of Otakus, especially in Japan.

P.S:Of course, I am not trying to be racist, afterall I love Japan.

I had no idea female VAs had such a public image to live up to! I mean, seriously, when I found out Naruto and One Piece male leads were voiced by a few old ladies :P I didn't really think VA idolising was that crazy. It's even worse than singers, at least they can go drug crazy, have affairs and stuff. Or this is just Japan's entertainment industry?

Never thought it'd turn out like this. Why go crazy over something like this? but I guess some people are like that.
Good chapter, but it kinda feels like there going to force Azuki not to be in the anime which I hope isn't the case.

Edit: Ah yea I don't think they've ever told us the year it is in Bakuman it said the drama cd was in 2014 so I'm guessing its 2015 now in Bakuman.

Well, at least everyone knows that after this shitstorm the manga will clearly end.

The authors have already played their last card, i.e. stretching the plot to push out another volume. Thank God they can't use it anymore without dropping Bakuman's quality to negative levels. Both of Nanamine's arcs were just glorified and inflated fillers, that probably tested the reader's patience: maybe Ohba and Obata thought they could fit in another filler arc before the ending.

i think that's a pretty good idea so that Bakuman will finally end peacefully.

i'm still on the idea of Miho not getting the part and Ririka getting it.

Pretty much expected this to happen once I saw Ishizawa last chapter. Sadly there are many otakus like that in Japan that place their Idols on a pedestal and expect them to never have any kind of relationship.

Mashiro needs to go in and f stuff up.

Have anybody else noticed Azuki didn't answer when her manager (I think) asked her not to confirm her relationsjip with Mashiro? I'd like her to come out in the open and say she's in love and that's why she was able to become a voice actress she is and that there's nothing wrong with their relationship... All in all a polite and gentle STFU.

It's going to be a bit more of a pain in the bottom to download the chapters from now on, I guess. Poor Red Hawks - THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG (oh the irony).

It's true that the reaction of the fans is kind of realist, but I don't really want an arc about creepy otakus.
At least this will boost the relationship between Mashiro and Azuki.

I haven't been this interested in Bakuman, or excited for the next chapter in a long time. Ever since Nanamine showed up, the entire series has been kinda boring. But ever since the anime announcement. This has been looking a lot better, especially with this arc.

The ending of this arc will probably have Azuki announcing her relationship with Mashiro, and her getting the voice role for the heroine.

I use to think I couldn't hate anyone in Bakuman more than Nakai, but Ishizawa took the cake. What a jerkface. I hope he doesn't get redemption and stays fat and gets even fatter and....I have nothing. I just don't like him.

Why do they portray all otakus as fat asses. Seriously, manga stereotype!(Unless it's true then I don't even want to know).
Also, those guys on the internet are just retarded. I mean seriously retarded.

Yeah.. All i was thinking " Whoa, WTF, Aren't you people overreacting?"
Actually I feel that I will like this arc , seems interesting and Mashiro and Azuki love life(can I call it that xD?) was in the shadow for really long time.
Sorry for my English ^^' If you notice any mistakes, please tell me about it ^^ Thanks for corrections ^^

Ain't gonna lie, I didn't quite enjoy this. I mean, I'm aware that bakuman is a slice of life manga so this turn of events is expected (and it's exectued in a rather tasteful manner tbh) but I just can't get myself hyped by this because I can easily predict the outcome. which is a big turnoff in Bakuman for me.

Meh, 3/5 for me. I might be too harsh and my opinion may change depending on the next chapter tho...we'll see.

If it does, then they should end it. However, it doesn't feel like it's going to end soon(ish), so perhaps they don't get the anime after all, or she doesn't get the role, or she gets murdered by angry fans, Mashiro gets institutionalized, Takagi divorces, and the editorial department burns down. Just sayin' :p

Man what little bitchs who cares if a voice actress and mangaka date actresses and movie directors and stuff date all the time. This is just some bullcrap to pose a problem to prolong the manga. After they got the ok for the anime I was happy idk why but i want this manga to hurry up and reach its climax.

haha this is typical internet trolling at it's best. it's like angering the trolls and facing their wrath. all because of their assistants big mouth friend and that idiot fatty former classmate.

this isn't going to blow over right away. I'd say they'd both be better off denying it. it's not like they even see each other how are they even going out? there isn't really proof.

I mean maybe some of you don't see this as a big deal, but it would be to otakus and trolls. they see it as their holy virgin being defiled or something and that she used their relationship to get her career going even if it's not true.

yeah she's not gonna be in Reversi and would be better off not in any of their stuff for a while. it will hurt Azuki more than those two though. it's not like people will stop buying Jump.

I wonder how the fat ass can stand the stink in that room. And how does he get money to buy the food. He doesn't have a job and yet he has money to buy junk food, a computer, tons of action figures, porn websites, and a room. Do see something wrong with that?

REDRUM.

On a more serious note, I think the media is being blown out of proportion a bit, but I'm interested to see where this leads. Lots of publicity anyway.

I also always kind of assumed that the story of Bakuman would end up being kind of an autobiography of the characters. So if Azuki doesn't get the role, this is still a possibility.
