The new editor did sense that it's not done by himself. lol @ the editors of ex-salaryman and university girl.

Past life of Nanamine. He was lonely and made friends thanks to Kane to Chie and his father's money. Later new editor found out and forced to join.

Niizuma doesn't get interested in Nanamine. The pair's editor, too, sensed something weird (+ the pair accidentally said they are crushing him a+ the new editor's face).

A bit of Azuki practicing at the end.

I don't really get this arc. First off, Nanamine is in total chuu2byou mode, which is annoying (you're not some evil genius, ok kid?). Second, what he's doing is hardly shocking. It's certainly bad that he's taking credit for other people's ideas, but if his group is making good manga, what's the problem with writing as a group instead of an individual? It's not uncommon for movies, for example, to go through dozens of drafts, each one with different writers, until the final script is complete, at which point the story is tweaked further by storyboarding, the actual filming, and editing. It's a messy process, but if it makes the final product better, it's worth it. Manga is different from movies, but if the product is good, the editors ought to be completely OK with a large crew doing it (as long as it's not too expensive to pay them all). There is no reason to be appalled when an artist takes advice from others.

Subs are finally out!!! :D Nanamine bullying his editor! Honestly, with all the hype on his manga, all the more i wanna read it. Glad that Eiji wasn't impressed with Nanamine. Even though he said that Nanamine is Ashirogi Muto Version 2.0, he is a fan of the original Ashirogi Muto but doesnt acknowlege Nanamine..hehe..Hatori is pretty sharp. ;P and the cliffhanger at the end, even though nanamine sounds as good as in. Glad that Aoki got in!! *poor Hiramaru*

Nanamine's philosophy derives from Ashirogi Muto's first one shot.

Eiji knows something is off about Nanamine. I think he realizes that there writing style and artwork doesn't follow one trend... or something.

I feel bad for Newbie Editor Kosugi, he's stuck in the middle feeling as if his views are not important... hopefully Hattori or the rest of the Editor dept help him out.

Poor Kosugi.. First artist he gets hooked up with turns his job into a huge mess :( Not sure if i'l be digging this Nanamine arc. So far the series has done well with turning Characters that give off an Evil/selfish/unlikeable character at first glance, into really likeable characters. Lik Aoki, or Hiramaru. (specially hiramaru.. he is awesome)

Looking forward to episode 10, and not looking forward to this series ending.. its without a doubt one of my favorite series of this decade.

I was kinda hoping Kosugi would punch him in the face but oh well. Though it seems that it may be because of Ashirogi Muto that he became the person he is today .

I'm surprised how much I'm liking Nananmine even though he's so hatable XD
His personality deriving from Ashirogi's first one shot was a nice touch imo.
Loved how Eijii doesn't care about his manga much...the dude is a genius :D

Didn't Hattori say Hiramaru shouldn't have a problem, while Aoki well have it tough?
But in the end Hiramaru got screwed lol...poor Hiramaru, hope he does better nxt time.

Also intersted in the new manga Takagi and Mashiro are gonna do.

WHAT PEOPLE FEELING BAD FOR YUUKI KAJI!? JK :P

I guess Bakuman finally found a sub group! The wait was killing me but it's over now. The only problem I see with Nanamine's method of creating manga is that there's no leader. Nanamine is just following a group consensus which there are times can be wrong. Whether he gets the final say out of the collective 50 people or one of them someone needs to have the last decision. For all the people feeling for Kosugi now, I'll just say he'll get his time to shine.

The best part of the episode though for me was Ashirogi Mutou's reaction to his method. I love how they're playing it cool and waiting to see what happens instead of being hot headed like other shonen protagonists. I guess that comes with being serialized for a while, it gives you clarity. Yoshida and Hiramaru were pretty funny this week though, with Yoshida showing once again how much of a manipulative bastard he is.

The intros and outros to the OP and ED were pretty awesome and got me pumped for Bakuman.

Edit: Another thing I forgot to mention was Ashirogi's last meeting with Hattori, when they said they were going to crush Nanamine. Hattori's surprise made me realize that while authors of Jump are all competing with each other in the same magazine, they still want everyone to do well; a friendly rivalry. However since Ashirogi Mutou knows Nanamine's true intentions, the wording they used insinuated otherwise.

Poor Kosugi. I loved how Ohba and Obata made Kosugi's character so that he'd be easily taken advantage of by Nanamine. It really makes you feel bad for the guy because he's relatable. I really want to see some Kosugi character development; maybe he exposes Nanamine or calls him out or something like that.

I agree with you. Nanamine just follow whatever the 50 peoples suggested & sometimes not all of the peoples who give the ideas are there which can create some inconsistencies in his manga. Can't wait to see Kosugi's badass moment after this.

Interesting that Nanamine adopt his philosophy from Ashirogi's Intelligence Money manga. Kind of pity because Nanamine is really a big fan for Ashirogi's work.

Oh Yoshida trolling Hiramaru is the best. Can't wait to see next ep because of Yoshida's funny reaction & certain someone return.

And if you think of that there are many other backfires.
For example, one of those fifty people can easily betray the group if their ideas aren't used or if the other members of the group treat them like crap. That person could easily have the power to just post their conversation on the internet using some blog and screen shot! You cant put so much amount of trust into fifty people you know nothing about, for God knows what some of the people making up the ideas may be some Middle schooler who reads a lot of manga. Besides the people who post ideas are completely biased, they just post what they want to see and what they believe is the best.

I don't really believe what Nanamine is doing is wrong. To me, it's like getting a tutor before taking an exam. He's just getting inputs/tips from other people. In the end, he writes it out himself. That said, 50 people is just too much. Any originality will be lost, as there's going to be too many drastic changes.

And Shuujin is right, he's naive. You can't just let a bunch of people in on your secrets. People in general aren't very receptive/open-minded.

Exactly. If it had been Hattori, heck even Miura, Nanamine would have been rejected on the spot.

I don't agree with the way that Nanamine does things. Sure, the world runs on money, that is an unchangeable fact. But it can't really buy you "friends" or anything of that sort.

As for using 50 people as input for his manga, while unorthodox, it is one of the stupidest things a "pro" can do. A "pro" is responsible for his own work. If others interfere, it would create a mess and ruin the entire work. Miura, of all people, said that to Ashirogi Muto last season. You would think their biggest fan would know enough to avoid making a similar mistake. And it is bound to backfire as well. As a wise man once said, "Don't trust everything and/or everyone you meet on the internet. It will come back and bite you in the ass." (Yeah, yeah. No wise man said that, who cares? I just did.).

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Nanamine. I disagree with him on his way of thinking as it is insulting to authors (as I'm aspiring to become one myself) all around the world.

Overall, the episode was fine, 4/5. And the ending is starting to grow on me. The OP, not so much (still sounds ridiculous).

Least favorite arc tbh. What the hell is Nanamine thinking? He thought that Ashirogi would clap him and congratulate him for using his money and connections to make a 'better' manga? If Nanamine was the fan he says he is, he would have noticed that, even though Ashirogi made a crude manga about money being everything in the world, they clearly don't think like that... if they did, they would have stopped making manga a long time ago.

Also yeah, Kosugi is pretty much the weakest character ever. If he didn't like the way Nanamine was doing his manga (before knowing about the 50 people online) he should have told Nanamine to freaking stop, because he's the one who has control over him and if Kosugi says he's not content with Nanamine's work no one else in the goddamn magazine would publish it. So yep, he lacks a lot.
Also, after knowing about his cheating ass, HE SHOULD JUST SAY NO AND GO TO THE HIGH UPS AND TELL THE TRUTH. He's just making a big mess like this even though he's trying to 'teach him a lesson', and that's why this is the only arc I truly ever hated on Bakuman, sigh.

That young new editor is in the shittiest situation he could have been. I don't envy him...

As I thought in my last post, Takagi and Mashiro did create a monster with Money and Intelligence. It's pretty sad when we think about it...

Hattori seem to suspect the fraud more and more.

Ashirogi Muto have too much pride, they need to denounce him, for the good of the other mangaka that put effort in their work...

Aoki passed finally. I'm pretty sure Hiramaru will get rejected, it looked in the preview like Nanamine won.

I agree with this. Though, it's not too difficult to include some ideas and leave others out to make the manga consistent.

I think most of the readers wouldn't give jack shit as long as they get their quality manga high. If FMA or Berserker were written this way, would we care so much? Probably not because it's good.

As I suspected. The Nanamine is a complete phony. He has no respect for the business.

It's an interesting wrench to throw into this anime though. This guy practically worshiped Ashirogi Muto since grade school. I think it's a common thing for kids to be impressionable to certain materials and stories and incorporate aspects of those into their daily lives, but this guy has retained that since of impression and admiration for a long time. It's immaturity at it's finest.

And it's funny how in Nanamine's manga if you lie you disappear. Could be a hint as to how this will end.

Of course you can't see the author's face. He doesn't really have one. With 52 people helping create his manga, there is no true face for the author...

I don't mind what Namamine is doing BUT the fact that he's revealing it to everyone like an idiot makes me wish it backfires, which will definitely happen.

That said, the new editor is pretty pathetic, I felt sad for him at first but I got over it when the guy chickened out at what Nanamine said.
