Festa and New Year Party. The theme became love because everyone's doing love story. Miho's love at first sight helped Saikou's story. Also others' ideas to work on the love stories.

Shuujin became seriously going to illustrator assistant because of some argument, but actually was just to give him training to do it himself. And he also told his another partner to quit assistant job. So that he can help Saikou with the festa.

Ex-salaryman mangaka and university mangaka love story next ep.?

They rushed out Shiratori's Arc LOL

That's about 6.5 chapters in 1 episode.
Season 3, Episode 6 = chapter 107 - Chapter 113 (ended at page 8-12)

I read this arc again last last week. Even I hated it before probably due to painfully waiting 1 chapter every week, it's still a great arc. I recommend you guys to read it. (start at chapter 102)

Well if they were going to rush an arc this is the best one to do. it wasn't overly interesting or important. it's obvious they want to push towards the end so....

more Hiramaru time the better though.

Great episode! Loved it how all of them competed with love manga in a shounen magazine with one shots! It was given that Aoki-san will win it! But Eiji getting motivated with Mashiro-Miho moment and deciding to go for a love manga one-shot was great too! And also, seeing Iwase getting the least number of votes made sense because her falling in love is completely bizarre. :P

We need more Hiramaru moments. He is my second favourite after Eiji! Next episode will be win. :D

I really loved how they resolved the Rabuta stuff. I actually was getting worried about Shujin writing it and balancing PCP too. I wish I could read all those love story one-shots. Hilarious how Iwase came last! And I'm really curious to see how Eiji would write a love story.

DIDN"T feel rushed you serious? I liked pacing of season 1 and 2 MUCH better than season 3 so far, stalling is annoying but suspense and story building in an anime like this is important as well. Disliked this episode, they put too much in it, too fast, well and the fistfight was dumb imo :p

Didn't really care for this ep as I did with the previous ones, but not too bad though. Ashirogi Mutou becomes a stronger team and the bonds between them have grown at the end.

I didnt read the manga, but i could tell that the story was rushing at so many parts. though, i still think the episode was alright. if they have this rushed episodes once in a while, i guess it's alright to save the number of episodes they can fit.

yeah i agree, im glad they finished it in one episode, didn't care much for this arc in the manga.

I still get the same vibes as i did in the first 2 seasons. Such an awesome series.

I haven't read the manga to this point, but I didn't felt like the episode was rushed. In fact, I think it had a good pace and I'm glad this arc is finally over, I wasn't really interested in knowing if the dog kid would get serialized or what but I'm glad it's finally over.

Also, lol @ Iwase being last. I'm curious about WHAT Fukuda drew about lolol.

Ever since I read tons of chapters in advance I don't like the anime as much. Read the chapters and it's easy to tell it's been rushed. Hell, you might even be able to tell if you don't read the manga.

As someone who doesn't read manga I'm glad they rushed this arc.

I like Bakuman but it's better to finish an anime before it becomes repetitive imo. Another 20-25 episodes should be enough, I dont think a season 4 is required.

Hiramaru x Aoki episode next week. <3

I'm really glad they decided to solve the problem in one episode and not drag this...it did feel slightly rushed but I don't mind since this arc wasn't really do my liking.

Lol at Hiramaru getting the 2nd fav love story...the dude is epic.

LOL. Mashiro's love story was so freakin' tame. "Oh my gosh, she looked at me" I know we've all had experiences like that - but it was just so weird. His story didn't even seem shounen. I would have rather read Eiji's love story. Oh well. Just like all of you, happy that part of the series is over. Can't wait to see the next episode!

To be honest, I'm happy they rushed Shiratori's arc because I really didn't enjoy the arc that much at all when I read the manga. I mean when I read the arc on the manga it just seemed to drag on and on. @_@

The double knockout with Mashiro and Takagi at the end reminded me a lot of L vs Kira fight in the hotel room.

Anyways, good episode. Hiramaru does it again. It's funny how he hates writing manga but comes up with his best stuff when he is motivated by women.

Wow they went through a lot in this episode. They did the whole super leader love fest in one episode. Understandable though since it wasn't that big of a story arc and they are really trying to work on the Nanamine arc coming up.

I'd rather spend my time watching Aoki and Hiramaru instead of Shiratori any day of the week. It looks like they're going to be wrapping it up this season, so 19 episodes to fit in everything from the manga. I suspect there will be some editing.

Glad Takagi dropped it, it didn't fit his style at all, and also not surprising that they didn't win, after all love stories aren't their strength.

I don't like how they removed the dialogue between Kaya and Azuki just like that. It was a pretty important part of the arc and the arc feels incomplete without it. Also, Kaya had absolutely no reaction to when Takagi said PCP won't be getting an anime, when she knows that has been their goal all along. Weak episode for me.

Aww they cut Eiji's reaction for losing in that fest, the most hilarious reaction from him since he never lose for a while & also specific detail of other mangaka's love story besides Mashiro.

Well at least they keep other things faithful.

Hiramaru's Shonen version of Kimi no Todoke LOL. Can't wait for another Hiramaru's scene in next ep.

I'm glad Shujin got rid of Loveta. It isn't his job to do other mangaka story.

That call with Azuki was cute.

About the competition, I laughed at the fact that Iwasa and Fukuda were the last in the ranking xD
Also, who would have thought that Hiramaru was good in romance type :P

It look like next episode is Hiramaru centered. Will Aoki fall for him? He's so obscessed with her that he look like a psycho xD

It's really hard to join in this discussion as you all are discussing about the manga. -_-"

Anyway my thoughts on this is the build-up from episode 4 to 6 feels like a waste. I really hate how stubborn/dere Mashiro is to the point I feel like kicking his balls. I mean what happens if Takagi didn't help Shun to make his own storyboard? Mashiro is nothing without Takagi, but Takagi can create an awesome storyboard even without Mashiro's help. Good thing Takagi is a gentlemen and willing to do everything for the weak MC. I am able to withstand his stubborness previously but this one just too much. How I wish Mashiro fails in his romance one-shot and learn to appreciate Takagi more.

But the most surprising thing in this episode is the fact that they conclude 5 seconds of the result of the one-shot competition, as if it was nothing.
