and thus, the poorest arc of the manga begins. Hopefully it will take just 2-3 episodes max at this pace and move on to the love fest comp. and then the main focus of the season ..... Nanamine.

Heavy spoilers ahead.... watch out. Only for Manga readers.

PCP WILL NOT GET AN ANIME


What was Hattori even saying, I just was so angry at him when he said that as it clearly showed he had no idea it was already receiving proposals. I still dont understand what Sasaki is doing by not moving these forward.


Hattori did point out though that PCP had some parent complaints, since the things they do in PCP is quite possible for children to imitate. If PCP were to get an anime those complaints would only escalate which will lead to severe consequences for Jack.

Parents don't want their kids imitating PCP. After i saw those kids play that prank on the other kid in the park it immediately crossed my mind on how it could be a problem and after that Hattori said it too.

Mashiro is a nice guy that doesn't like saying no so that was a hard spot when they asked him like that. He should have said i'll tell you later and discuss his thoughts with Takagi.
Personally i wouldn't give up on making a anime about it.

Hattori knows about the proposals, but Sasaki won't accept them precisely because of the reason Hattori said.
Fathers don't want their kids imitating PCP.


WTF? According to Hattori it would be hard making an anime out of it because sponsors wouldn't want to get involved but if TV stations are making anime proposals then it must mean they already found sponsors so what the hell is the problem? I doubt they will be making proposals if they had no sponsor for it and thought no one was gonna sponsor it.
So if Sasaki and Hattori are the ones rejecting the proposals then they are the ones at fault for PCP not getting an anime.

Mashiro suggesting Miho to voice the main heroine of PCP Drama CD. I just love how they act so lovey-dovey in their own way. :) It was cool to see the kids playing PCP at the park. LOL @ Mashiro's face at the end. Are you seriously okay with it, Mashiro? xD

Why does Mashiro have to be that stubborn and can't just tell out his real opinion? With Azuki and Takagi around he has exactly the people who would really listen to what he says but he just doesn't.. other people would be really happy to have that. :/

Why does this anime remind me of Lovely Complex? Is it the art or the humor?

2 Questions.
a) What was Takagi implying he could do without looking?
b) Was Iwase happy crying or sad/depressed crying? Please explain.

Oh shit, thing are going bad for Mashiro. After learning that PCP can't really be addapted in an anime and struggling about if he should ask Takagi if he want to do another manga in parrarel, that demand really hit the nail in the wrong place. They really need to tell the truth to Hattori about Mashiro motivation or he'll never really know how to work with his feeling.

When Hattori judge the other assistant work, it waas so funny xD

Also, Takagi talking dirty... :P

Why can't it be an anime if there are already 2 adaption requests?

Poor Saikou, if only he told Takagi about starting new manga earlier.
However I like the new assistent, and of course Takagi is the best. I would say it would be promising manga.

Plot twist: Takagi and and new assistant manga will get published and have an anime, while Saikou cries alone :p

Great episode, although it sucks a bit for both Mashiro and Takagi that PCP won't ever likely be made to an anime due to its content being too realistic and addicting, that parents have sent multiple complaints about the nature of its chapters where kids could be influenced too much to act like criminals, even in the world of fiction. At least its got a drama CD where Miho finally gets to voice an Ashirogi Muto character in the heroine, Mai Annojou (although dreams aren't accomplished just yet since not an anime), and a novel too. PCP might not be THE manga that gets Moritaka and Miho to be together and married, but it's one step closer I'd say. Takagi didn't calculate the value of an anime adaptation when formulating PCP so the next manga they do together, if a hit, can definitely be THE ONE.

Although, there is some slight tension brewing as Shiratori prepared a storyboard based on the dog he loves, and with revisions from Takagi, it turns out to be good and even not too far off from serialization-level material, even backed up by a top class editor in Hattori. Mashiro's feeling a bit conflicted since Takagi's working on PCP already with him and they're a duo, who also now need to slowly conceptualize a new manga that could attract sponsorship and be turned to an anime in the long run.

Damn Moritaka is in a sticky situation as soon as things were looking great. Lots of interesting character development here I'm looking forward to it.

LOL mashiro's face at the end.
kinda understand masshiro's feeling, he thought to take the time being before offering takagi thinking about new series to be adapted for anime but ended up being offered making the story for shiratori before he even had the time to think about that. kinda unfair.

disappointed as well for PCP not going to be anime, it's understandable when the reason is said, but they started the whole damn mangaka thing to that.

miho's e-mails LOL
still felt those episodes missing other characters. HIRAMARU !!!

Well, PCP survived. Suck on that Iwase!

Honestly, I feel like Moritaka has come far enough to have "reached his dream." Having his relationship with Miho be contingent on an anime, specifically, is rather stupid at this point. They have other mediums adapting their characters and stories now, and overall PCP is a hit. It just gets more and more annoying to drag out this promise. If that's how it's going to be, I'd sooner have them never end up together and die alone for their stubbornness. They need to just accept that they are established enough in their careers to start directly supporting one another and building a life together.

Aside from that, not having Iwase around was a nice change of pace. There should be more episodes without her.
