I think I'm kind of used to the new OP.

Nice tactics (some are "tactics" especially for Salaryman mangaka lol~) to defeat Niizuma. Plus the helps from the editors on color page or cover page. Though they can only be 2nd. The pair finally came up with a hint hidden in color page.

Wow, young Niizuma at next ep.? Cannot wait (more than result because I know about it)!

Nice episode but I am starting to get pissed off at everyone, I really hope they don't beat Eiji. It would be epic if his manga ends at his peak, so he could go on with something else he enjoy.

Oh damn, nice! This arc reminded me why I love this series so much. The previous arcs have been a little slow, but this is the kind of thing I look for in a Bakuman anime!

I agree, I know Niizuma challenged them, but it would be nice to see an ending to Crow that Niizuma wants, instead of dragging the manga on and on.

Bakuman is really exciting this season! I love how they're focusing in Hiramaru, Fukuda and the others, makes it more interesting! But i hope Niizuma can end CROW the way he wants, i think is selfish and a little unnecesary to continue a manga when the author doesn't want it, for it may become boring and not what the author wants. Well, i'll wait for the next episode!!

Great episode packed with excitement! After all the others failed even with their colour front pages, I'm curios of whether Ashirogi will manage to succeed. Nice to see Kaya around the studio again. The scene with Hiramaru and Yoshida-shi was really funny! Overall very enjoyable episode!

And mini Nizuma Eiji! That is so cool! I'm looking very much forward to next weeks episode! [^人^]

I actually liked that girl's 7 rainbow idea. Kinda cute. :P

This season is pretty good. I'm happy that they're getting more mature and the focus of the next episode might be about Eiji's childhood or a bit of his past. I can't wait!

Hey, isn't he going to work on a new manga by himself this time and will eventually be a rival of Ashirogi's? Pretty sure that they showed that in the scene of them at the New Years party.

Haven't read the manga but I definitely think they won't beat CROW. It's too early for Ashirogi to beat Niizuma Eiji. With that said, the pacing right now is excellent. I really like fast paced slice of life. Bakuman 2 was a bit boring at parts but Bakuman 3's been going at high speed! Keep it up, J.C. Staff.

Yeah...it's like watching Kuroko no Basket and hear : how do you do that noone can see you, I did not see you" etc duh.

Hope it won't end at season3, for pcp < crow still.

Wait, was there a young Niizuma in the manga? I don't remember something like that. It should be interesting.

This episode made me remember Hitman Reborn and it turning from a gag manga to a battle shounen with an improvement of the art.

Giri seems like a really interesting manga, I hope Obha and Obata's new work is a Giri manga. (well speaking of their new work, I hope they're gonna come back after the anime end)

Great episode overall. Next episode should be the conclusion of the arc, and can't wait to see PCP's chapter animated.

Young Niizuma actually shows up in one panel from chapter 139 which will be the next ep. They will probably expand that part based from the preview.

Great ep, liking how they struggle to be the best to beat CROW.

Poor Hiramaru though since his manga's rank doesn't change at all lol.

CROW has stayed in 1st place for 14 weeks in a row eh? Niizuma sure is wasting no time with his 'final' arc. Mashiro and Akito were smart to use the colour page to their advantage by using it as a plot device for the chapter instead of just a random colourful page to 'promote' the manga. :P

This was a great buildup episode, but the preview got me really looking forward to more.
I wonder what Niizuma's past is like and what his history with manga is.

So the fact that the clues were put on the colour page was just a distraction? Because it looks like all that they've done is just put some suspicious looking words on the two bottom corners and thats it. They could've just done that on any random normal page, but it only makes sense if they meant it as a distraction..

After Kaya talked about the rainbow and 7 colours and etc, i thought they would come up with a puzzle that involved colours, but it was a bit disappointing to see that they just put some just some text in... UNLESS it was for the above mentioned distraction purposes...

I don't remember if they mentioned it in the anime (maybe my mind is mixing manga and anime) but the trick was that Sigma changed the colors of the photo so it looked like it was taken at night, but the shape of shadows gave away the fact that it was actually taken during day.
So Mashiro colored it as if it was a photo taken during day but "photoshoped".

The trick couldn't have been done in black and white.
