Hahaha Way to go, Hiramaru! You won her heart finally. And lol@Mr. Yoshida the great caretaker. No wonder he also cried a lot. haha

Overall I have always liked the characters of this anime since I watched the 1st season b/c they are caring for not only their romantic/working partners but also their competitors. I really love the series.

Is Ashirogi's manga going to be made into anime? If so, wow finally! Will he marry Azuki?

I'm left with the feeling that I really want to read Reversi. Most of Ashirogi's works seem like they'd really be fun to read.

How far Aoki has fallen.
(I might say the same for Ahirogi and Niizuma. However much the anime tries to tell me otherwise, Zombie and Reversi sound like garbage.)

garbage is a pretty strong word. i am saddened by your close mindedness
compared to the anime that has come out in recent seasons, i would take reversi and zombie gun over MANY of them.

how far aoki has fallen? fallen for hiramaru yes, i would too XD

Good episode I guess, but I hate Aoki's drastic change in character. That's the only complaint I really have with Bakuman.

Many people complain too much on Aoki's change of character. Facts for you guys:

1) It was two years since Hiramaru's first confession (and when they started dating)
2) Ashirogi was in HIGH SCHOOL when Aoki was first introduced (with that "character" that you associate her with)

This anime is not Sazae-san, people. They age and grow up; therefore, changes in character are imminent, especially the bonds between the characters in this series. Heck, since time in Bakuman flows real fast I might as well say that their bonds have improved off-screen. While a somewhat unfavorable premise for character development, it has to be that way because of the manga making industry that Bakuman portrays.

If that's not convincing enough:

3) Aoki has never dated anyone aside from Hiramaru

which makes the relationship between her and Hiramaru that much more important to her. Aoki is not two-dimensional, thus her somewhat nicer character recently...


...but I also thought that today's proposal scene was average and was not as captivating as the usual shojo -_-

I for one had slightly expected her to fall in love with Takagi before she met Hiramaru. I even thought he would ditch Miyoshi when he got close to Aoki in Bakuman 2.

She did have a crush on Takagi, and for good reason. During that time, she wasn't that close to males in general, and then came Mr-Gentle-White-Knight-who-unfortunately-had-a-waifu. She definitely got depressed, until Fukuda and the panty drawing assistance. Since then, she has communicated well with males in general, and has become much nicer.

Your second statement is something that'll never happen in shounen lol

P.S. I kinda ship Aoki and Fukuda, but Fukuda is an asexual jackass, what can I do (jk)

This was a beautiful episode, really loved the first part, since all 3 of them, Yoshidashi, Hiramaru and Aoki are one of my favs, it was really nice to see them all happy.

The ending was amazing, looks like some studio is going to pick them up, can't wait.

Omg i thought i was the only one! I ship them too!!! :3 sad that her time has been more dedicated to Hiramaru now. He's a funny character, though not really a fav character. But I'm happy for Aoki.

Gasp! An anime offer?!?!?!?! Pretty sad that there was only one company that approached them. Though i dont think they'll accept it until they think the manga's good enough.

I cant believe we only have 5 more eps left?!?!?!?! I'm gonna really miss Bakuman!!

Awww, first half of this episode was sooo cute~ ! Yoshida-shi and Hiramaru are just loveable.

I guess that all this hate is because she looked much older at the begining. Man, I thought that she was 25+ (she still does). I'm happy with her being like this, she's cuter than Iwase, I really dislike bitchy girls.
That seiyuu girl looks more interesting than Azuki (Azukyun, lol), I wonder if she will appear again.

Nice one. I really like Hiramaru, and although I don't like Aoki that much, I think they will match each other nicely :)
The thing bothers me about Aoki apart from her past annoyance is that she and her work do not fit with the Jump concept, I mean Jack. I know it is not just pure shoujo love, but it is still not in the frame either.
For the Ashirogi part; firstly I did not read the manga ahead, but I guess if they will be offered an anime, then will 5 episodes be really enough for all the anime stuff? I mean, in season 1 we all enjoyed a lot to see everything about manga in deep detail, but for anime part I think it will be really fast, even with Bakuman's fast time flow style. And as for my common sense, Azuki and that red-haired new rival-to-be girl will compete for the heroine character of Reversi. But anyway, I trust Ohba and Obata Sensei! They will make it through.

5 episodes is more than enough for the rest of the manga to be adapted at the current pace.

Oh my god this episode was so good! Hiramaru proposed to Aoki and Aoki agreed to marry him despite him losing the ring and all. Yoshida for BEST MAN, LET'S GO! Seriously, Yoshida was very thoughtful this episode. A person from an animation studio appears in front of Takagi and Mashiro. Reversi for anime, yeaaaaaahhh! :D

Ashirogi is obsessed about getting an anime and giving Azuki the main best heroine role of her career(and get married) but i have to wonder. What kind of heroine role is that since the main characters seem to be those devil two male rival characters. I doubt any female in their manga actually has much of "main" role not to mention one of the best mains ever.

Could that voice actress girl ruin their plans by going to the audition and saying that Azuki is the mangaka's girlfriend and it's unfair with the resold of Azuki getting rejected?

There is a female character called Naoki (I think) who happens to be the love interest of the Black Demon character and is the first one he brainwashed. She is considered the main heroine of the series.
