| Most intense interview eveeer! Glad to see it turn out kinda successful tho ^_^ Holy crap this is such a romance I love it the ending was way to cute for words c: |
| Trash mammal |
| They have potential!! Can't wait to see what their next one is! The ending was super cute :p |
| lol,,,, the end so awkward |
 |
| Dat ending, my reaction is like Takagi's This is gonna be interesting xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| I'm SO glad that their meeting with Shounen Jack was positive, but not an instant success. I was really worried that they'd go in and either be kicked to the curb or told that they were the best thing to hit the manga industry in 30 years or something. This was much more realistic and believable. I felt the same way about the writing of the manga. It was using way too much exposition. The fewer narrator boxes in a story, the better (in my opinion). Just let the action and dialogue unfold organically and it is much more interesting! Great episode! |
 |
on 
| Got it!! Their first manga and like it the editor!!!! The first step is do it!!! |
| Damn that editor was pretty cool about it. lol at the ending, especially Takagi just quietly laughing at them being paired up xD |
 |
| That is the best thing that could happen to you sitting next to the girl you love. |
| That was a nice build in the story while also showing depth! Two Earths was really cool, but you can definitely see where it could be improved. |
  |
| How come they can include all those real Shonen Jump titles, but they had to parody the name of Shueisha? Akito's home life is...shitty. I'd forgotten about this part of the manga. His mom is downright crazy. Who tells a fifth grader to avenge their dad? Gee, Akito was about to have an anxiety attack filling out that visitor registration/being treated like an adult. /r/me_irl Okaaaay, now their manga is seriously messing with my head. As we saw their manuscript, I couldn't help but think to myself "That's an interesting concept. Wait, what if I'm on a simulation of Earth?" I thought Akito and Moritaka's first meeting with Jack went extraordinarily well for middle school students, considering the adult guy next to them got destroyed by his editor. "Let's forget this manuscript ever happened." The editor then went on to say that the meeting with them was "no good", but then said within three years he could see them being better than Eiji...make up your mind! |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Wow his mother is fucked up |
| Their first attempt at stepping into the limelight went well.. sort of! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| ok that was amazing haha. They managed to produce something worthy of Jack's attention. Though not good enough yet, I'm sure their next work will make it! |
 |
| LMAO Takagi is having so much laugh with the new sitting arrangement. |
| Loved this episode a lot. After reading a ton of manga, seeing a ton of anime and just trying to focus on the little details, I found it even more interesting analyzing The Two Earths when the anime was showing what Mashiro and Takagi cooked up. I'm gonna pretend to be an editor myself by just giving my thoughts on what I saw from this (also gonna use Jump instead of Jack just because I'm used to saying Jump for the company due to the manga). Like the editor they met, Hattori stated, pretty much agree with what he said about the story - really interesting idea for a sci-fi story and original, but feels too much like a novel with excess narration and complexity that alienates a lot of readers from the Jump magazine since it's a bit too thematically heavy (almost like a seinen manga story that is). Good potential is there though as a writer if he's able to balance out his narration and dialogue a lot more, trying to make an interesting story that works well with a shounen demographic audience. And regarding the art from Mashiro, it's really nicely drawn, especially for someone who is new to the game, but it's rough around the edges at the same time. The character designs are solid but not really refined with the main problem for me being the faces, as it feels a bit inconsistent and doesn't really aim for a shounen look that inspires or excites a lot of readers of Jump. It's like really talented fanart inspired by manga, but when it comes to drawing for a Jump manga, it fails to meet that standards for now. Given how he's new, he'll get the feel of drawing shounen designs a lot better with time, and make those stiff, realistic designs turn into ones made for the Jump magazine. In the end, Jump cares about the quality of manga from the story to the art to the little intangible details, but it also has to sell as well and grab a large enough audience to create some revenue out of it without wasting a spot since there are many, many people who apply with their own manga manuscripts with a ton of them having potential in various genres. It's important to stand out like what Takagi aimed to do, but you need to have the refinement and writing that'll make a good amount of the audience dig into the content without putting too much effort into figuring out what's happening, especially for a shounen magazine that focuses more on engaging, entertaining stories from action, to ecchi to romance. The Two Earths isn't something that would last long on Jump. Still though, really nice to see how far they've come to create a competent manuscript that impressed a really good editor, showcasing some real potential there in the long run. Hattori's great. Enough of the pretend editor shit, I also liked how Takagi was just laughing his ass off that the two people that were in love and tried to avoid each other as much as possible till their dreams come true, were forced to sit next to each other for months in school lol. That's definitely not the most awkward experience ever if you're Mashiro or Azuki. Should at least create some cute moments in the long run. |
| Mashiro and Azuki’s interactions are so awkward and cute. I love how calming this show is. |
   |
| Yeah, Akito you don't to keep the expectation of someone Well it is expected that their manuscript will be rejected although not completely, good for them... Lol, I thought Akito is crying over something at the end there... |
| takagi's story truly dramatic, in funny way. young takagi shout on his mother xD hattori is sure good editor, what he really thought se said only in the editorial department. but at least they did their first step. lol the end was cute |
| Pretty good episode. Last scene was cute with how embarrassed those two are, looking forward to that ^^ |
 |
| Great episodeeee |
 |
| Another watchable episode , thought about dropping cuz of weird rom com drama that it might become but guess is safe for now. |
