----------------------------------------
Assistant guy did something and made Nanamine lost all the online helpers. And the pair is the winner. He's now doing it alone (and with his real editor) now. The assistant mangaka's work is getting TV drama! Elementary school reunion made Saikou realize that they are different, but keeps going with the dream. But then when they thought that, CPC's getting bad affect on the society...

Great episode, I'm glad they subbed it early. Someone copied PCP and now the manga could be in danger. This is kind of similar to what happened with Death Note.

Nanamine reminds me of Light (Death Note) at the end when he goes insane.

Mashiro feels a bit disappointed since he gave up his childhood, and is not able to do other things, but he doesn't regret it.

I didn't know people besides Takagi called Mashiro by the nickname Saiko...

Since when was Nakai in the opening?

I was thinking near the end "ahhh, now nothing new is going to happen.." I definitely was wrong.

Ugh, but the preview shows Mr. I-gained-about-200-pounds is going to make another move. His character always bothered me.

I love how they sped up Nanamine's arc...
But I hate how they rushed the reunion part...
They didn't even mention Joe's line! I was waiting for that!

And finally, this is my favorite mini-arc in Bakuman.
A criminal using PCP as reference.
I have a feeling it will be finished in one ep... no, looks like even in 3/4 of the next ep by judging from the preview. (Nakai/Hiramaru are also on it)

Looks like JC Staff is compressing stuff so they can animate the whole manga.

There has to be an ending sometime--better while it's fresh and they have enough material to work with to move at a quick pace until the end. I want to see that anime and Mashiro get his reward by the end of series three...

Also Blazingfastsubs seems to be living up to their name, I'm glad they took it over.

Thank you for subbing it early!!! OwO Was so surprised when I saw it on the website! Totally made my day!!!

Utter defeat! Yeah Nanamine! You got trashed real hard!! Though I wish that they could have shown us the chapters that both Nanamine and Ashirogi did so that the audience ourselves would be able to judge it too~ Wanna see how it was a one-sided victory for Ashirogi! hope nanamine doesnt go back to his old tricks once he gets some fame..

The class reunion makes me feel so old. I dont think i'll be having one anytime soon but they make it look so jovial~

I thought they would start on a new arc in the next ep..but ohmygosh, i cant believe that a real full-scale crime was executed in reference to their manga! aww dang shit's going down!! i can't wait!!! :D

Subbers put PSP a couple of times instead of PCP. :O

I still can't get over the fact that PCP is the name of their manga while PCP is actually a name for a drug.

What an interesting episode - I really liked that scene where Mashiro felt almost bit of an outcast sitting there. I can sympathize; and though it sucks, at the end of the day, it's the price to pay for living and achieving one's dream.

As for the ending, I hate it when media or people in general, try to blame certain games, shows, etc, because something bad has happened. 'Oh shooting games must have caused all the latest massacres', 'Oh violent shows with gore, ecchi shouldn't appear in our anime cause they might promote homicide or rape' -- what rubbish. You might as well blame the parents who sucked shit at raising their kid and wasn't able to teach them the difference between reality and fantasy.

This was a great episode. I thought maybe Nanamine would put up a better fight, maybe he could've won if he didn't go around telling people how he takes ideas from ppl on the internet (that was a bit stupid of him to tell so many ppl a secret that could cost him his job).

As for the crime report at the end, it was pretty predictable. When they showed Kaya watching the news I knew that that was gonna happen. I think PCP will get cancelled. If it does, they will probably start a new manga that will have chances of being animated :) Well, what I'm really looking forward to in the next episode is the love triangle between aoki, hiramaru, and nakai. I hope nakai gets dissed, I really hate his character. I use to support AokiXFukuda but AokiXHirumaru is growing on me (Hirumaru is so cute).

I'm not really satisfied with the twist. A criminal was able to replicate a crime using a manga story as a reference? How incompetent would the police have to be to be outwitted like that? That's just sad.

It's like how a dead body was found in Belgium I think and a note was left saying the person was Kira referencing Death Note.

Anyways, I really do wish they didn't just rush the hell out of all these chapters so they could end it in one more go. I don't remember the previous 2 seasons being so badly rushed. Couldn't they have just made this a longer season?

it's not that police were incompetent. police get there after a crime has started/finished

just because it was in a manga doesn't mean they can instantaneously stop it having that knowledge lol..

The series are starting to be really predictable. Most likely their PCP manga will end soon. They will create a new "unorthodox battle" manga that they've been talking about. It will be a battle of wits and an absolute hit, just like Death Note, which will conclude the story =)

Would be too stupid if that happened. It's the same with what's going on with Kuroko no Basuke at the moment, if Jump (or Jack in the anime) cancelled every manga that faced problems in the media or irl then they should close and stop publishing any manga, because if they cancelled one manga due to problems like that then some people will be encouraged to send threats or mimic some other manga to get them cancelled too.

OT:
The pace is as fast as always, yet it felt that nothing was cut and all the important things were adapted. I liked how they concluded Nanamine's arc too.

Wow they covered a lot in this chapter, an okay episode though. The music they played when Nanamine met Ashirogi Muto at the New Years Party seemed to cheery and sudden. They're making it seem that he's just another rival like Niizuma Eiji but the tone he was showing said otherwise.

I still hate the opening and I skip it every time, it's a piece of shit.
Nanamine got beaten and not just by a little bit. He got what he deserved.
The ending surprised me, I think someone is plotting something against them.
I wonder how this'll turn out.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Right, well that was a ridiculous turn of events right at the end there...

Anyway, the manga is already finished, and from what I've heard Season 3 will be the last and will be finishing off the manga. I'm already 12 episodes into this and there is still no sign of a anime adaptation for an Ashirogi manga :/ I hope it doesn't end without the dream coming true..

It will. That arc starts after a couple of episodes, around 16 or 17 iirc.

Man, making PCP responsible for the bank robbery is like making shooter games responsible for every rampage there is. It's just stupid. But many people (most of the time people who don't know anything about the shooter games or manga for this example) just believe it because it appeared on the news. <.<

They defeated him quite hard and well another year has passed but that ending surely didn't seem all too good, this will give PCP a very bad reputation and I'm guessing this will manage to cancel the series :| Either way let's see what's next!
