Hitman 10 would be more suited for being serious. I also don't see potential for a serious manga in Two of Me.

I don't like Miura <.<

It does sucks that they can't write what they want, and that the ditor was really obsessed with the gag manga.

This is definitely the most annoying part of the series. They just rebel for the show but end up still doing a gag manga in the end...
If they weren't japanese (with all their habits about respect and bowing to your pseudo-superiors), they would have realised that thay had the perfect leverage to make the fat bastard comply : a contract to be signed.
"If authors don't trust their editors, they cant make a good series"... Yeah right. If the potato insists on doing a gag manga, just go to an other magazine. He would never let it go to that point anyway, if he lost such talent to competitors he would be fired on the spot...

Well, gonna have to withstand this stupid development for some more episodes now.

It feels the Hattori's absence in Ashirogi...

this ep was so cringey. what is miura doing ;-; I agree 100% with what mashiro disagreed on with miura when it came to their manga style. but like, at the same time I can't bring myself to criticize miura extensively because he IS inexperienced.

i just miss hattori ;-;

Wtf with Miura, I never liked him but his attitude this episode sucked. Gag manga are almost never popular, why waste Shujin's talent on it? Idiotic.

I'm glad Aoki rejected Nakai, he's ridiculous. I'm also worried about that new editor tho. I would really hate it if Aoki does ecchi, it definitely doesn't match her character.

Best part from the episode was Eiji and his toothpaste ofc lol

This season is really showcasing why having a editor that fits your vision and direction is incredibly important for a successful manga career. What made Hattori such a good editor for Ashirogi Muto in the previous season is how he is very adaptable, wanting Ashirogi Muto to do what they're best at potentially while being able to help them refine their vision to the best of his abilities. He knew what was their strengths and weaknesses and he did everything in his power to help those two polish their strengths and use that to create great quality names that helped get them a serialization in the first place. Plus, he also is ambitious, aiming for them to surpass Niizuma and get first and seeing if they can handle serialization in the first place by training them to prepare manuscripts at a good rate while handling Golden Future Cup business at the same time. He isn't arrogant, wants to do his best to support the authors and helps bring the best out of his authors' abilities that would help create the best manga for them and for the audience too of Shounen Jump.

Meanwhile with Miura, he's someone who's not ambitious and doesn't utilize the potential of what Ashirogi Muto can produce if nurtured well, opting to play safe by looking at their future work to just be able to survive with rankings rather than wanting them to aim big again while playing to their strengths. He doesn't even seemingly have a clue about what makes Takagi's stories to be incredibly captivating and interesting to read, even more than someone like Niizuma's stories, as he focuses on trying to go with what he finds more entertaining as a reader (clearly a gag manga fanatic given his reaction to Moritaka being Tarou Kawaguchi's nephew), and wanting to play to what he's comfortable with rather than what Takagi's comfortable and creative with. It's the opposite of what Bakuman's identity and persona is, as its the safest bet for long term, mediocre success. There's no way Takagi can be a Sorachi and make a genuinely successful gag manga like Gintama since he doesn't have the comedic sense, creativity nor versatility to truly make a great gag manga in the long run without getting stale since it's not in his forte at all. Ashirogi Muto is able to recognize this and want to do their best to get their serious work serialized but it sure is going to take a lot of effort to convince the editor to go with their direction and vision rather than Miura's safety net.

I didn't expect Aoki to take that ecchi thing to her consideration...

I have a feeling things aren't going to go well on the Aoki side of things. And, to a degree, I'm okay with that. I'd rather her have bowed out gracefully as originally planned, and focused on her own thing. Getting wrapped up in an ecchi series just seems like it's asking for trouble. Her new editor definitely seems sketch as fuck.

I don't have high hopes for Miura at this point. He definitely seems to be actively working against Moritaka and Takagi's talents. Just a couple episodes ago he was asking what to do and what direction to try and take TRAP in. Now he's suddenly acting like a know-it-all. It's just a bit disappointing that he doesn't even seem to be taking the creator's opinions into consideration. Though, I do have to wonder why they didn't push for "Me Two" over "HITMAN 10," since it seemed like even they preferred that themselves. Maybe their one-shot is what they really want to do, and so they don't particularly care that much about either of their other, potential, projects?

Anyway, I'm guessing their new series will be decided by the second half of this season. I hope the assistants from TRAP make a return.
