| I like the ending, not because of the music but I can their younger self !! |
 |
| Damn, the new ED... talk about a downgrade. :/ Just hope I'll get used to it soon.... And Nizuma + Iwase vs. Ashirogi Muto is going to be EPIC. |

| Of course Eiji would play a hand with the advent the goddess. The young goddess in the ending was quite adorable also. |

| Eiji is full of win. peace out Nakai. I still want Hattori back as their editor... hopefully Mirua can do something right soon! |
  |
| Nizuma + Iwase teaming up... is very... dangerous. They make the god team. |
 |
| DAmN!! It's getting tense!! |
 |
OriginANIME said: Nizuma + Iwase teaming up... is very... dangerous. They make the god team. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. NIZUMA IS TOO OP! He can make anything successful!! ITS NOT FAIR! |

| Oh my god this is getting even better than the first season. I can not wait for more of this! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Not only does Ashirogi Muto pretty much SUCK right now, they don't stand a chance against the new rival. It's sad, there is no hope in this season ending in an anime adaptation. Shit, they might not even be in as good of a situation as they were the end of last season. |
 |
| I hope they go for a serious manga like Money and Intelligence. |

| THANK YOU GOD. THANK YOU. Nakai san is finally gone. now i can enjoy the anime. pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. I'm gonna cry ... |
| Nakai is gone, now only Miura is left. I can't think of a way for Ashirogi to get number 1 with Miura as editor. :| And Hattori again proves that he knows what he is doing. I'm glad the gag manga failed and I hope they drop it soon and don't bring it to another serialization meeting. The new ending is boring and shit. <.< |
| Pretty interesting development, it seems Iwase's manga might actually be a problem! A lot of things happened in this episode and well I do wonder even after he became a total jerk that Takuro comes back or so! let's see what's next! Dat new ED <3 |
 |
| Whats wrong with ashirogi? theyre not as good as they used to be. |
| Niizuma is the best character. Period. Glad Nakai is finally gone. He's become such a sleezeball in this season. Ugh Miura is holding Ashirogi back with stupid gag manga. Hope they get better soon~ |
| Hattori is a freaking genius, just makes you miss him being Mashiro and Takagi's editor even more ;_; Not liking the new ED, previous one was definitely better : / hgeronimo said: THANK YOU GOD. THANK YOU. Nakai san is finally gone. now i can enjoy the anime. pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. I'm gonna cry ... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Oh happy days :D Don't know why the hell they tried stopping him but at least he's finally gone, hopefully for good. Felt pretty sorry for that female assistant since she had to deal with him all day but at least she's safe now lol. |
 |
| As Takagi said, Nakai deserve what happened to him. I understand that Mashiro saw him as a mentor, but making a girl cry for such selfish reason is unforgivable. I'm kinda shocked that it didn't pass at the reunion. All seemed to go so well. Hattori's a genius. That plan can only be good, in long term, for our duo. |

| Ashirogi is turning really soft eh ? Eiji FTW.. he's practically god level now. My god.. those freaky faces are awesome ! |
| Glad to see Eiji again. Seriously, I thought I wouldn't see him again. I feel bad for Takahama :/ Lesson: Never trust a fat man. Also, I like the new ED, except the choice of song. |
 |
| Ashirogi is down, now they are going to be destroyed even more. Both main characters rivals unite to ultimately bring them down. Will it help them? Will it destroy them? That evil face of Hattori was also funny xD So Hattori will now be working as the enemy editor... |
| That's some conspirancy with the manga there. I liked more the previous ending. |
| Im glad Nakai gone. Eiji/iwase vs mashiro/takagi will be interesting. |
| This is an awesome ED. Ahh I can't put this anime down... so addicting. |
| Everybody makes progress except the two main protagonists. It's when incompetent people are protected by higher-ups that you know something definitely is wrong. This was my least favorite arc in the manga, still is the same in anime. Hopefully they'll brush over Tanto faster. |
| iwase's obsession with takagi is creepy af. also _DoctorWho_ said: |: lol miuraWhats wrong with ashirogi? theyre not as good as they used to be. this upcoming rivalry sucks........... its so unfair that iwase & niizuma get hattori |
 |
| The results don't lie . We all know who is on fault here . Gag Editor-san . Aoki-san Omeditou !! Marriage got pushed off ~ . The Art of Contemplation . Now, I feel sorry for him . Anime confuses me . It's nearly time for the parting . Exhausted all possibilities but never won . Niizuma Eiji and Aina Aiko !? To-TOGETHER !? .. Omoshiroi ~ !! Hattori .. Kimi wa .. Genius !! Editor Hattori on the job !! GREAT EPISODE . The Collaboration is confirmed ~ . |

| Here's to hoping Nakai stays in the country and never comes back! |
 |
| Nami is just a fucking scumbag I mean he just constaintly harasses every woman he works with. |
| I hope Eiji gets it!!! kekeke 2 manga in the same magazine!!! kekekeke |
| This second season is really, really grating on me now. Nakai's been turned into a lecherous creep and, thankfully, now seemingly written out of the show. But he's not my big issue at this point. No, it's Miura. Anyone with a pair of eyes and a brain can tell that he is hopelessly incompotent as an editor, already having two serializations ended within the space of a year (I'm not sure on the exact timeline at this point, but it's something like that), failing to get Ashirogi serialized again with three different works already and forcing his vision of manga on to Takahama and Ashirogi to their detriments. I truly don't understand why they can't just change editor, or why Miura hasn't been fired when he isn't producing results at all. I also thoroughly disagree with the chief editor's stance on this issue, though I do agree that Takahama didn't phrase his issues well at all (though he certainly wasn't given a chance to expand upon them). But whatever happened to "if it's interesting, it will be serialized"? That seems to have been forgotten in amidst this show's attempts to justify Miura as a character and to justify his continued presence within the show and within the company (again, how has he not been fired?). Also, why has Mashiro done a complete 180 about Miura? Before the argument at the restaurant a few episodes back, he wanted rid of Miura, but now he's constantly trying to silence Takagi's complaints about him. Furthermore, how is it that Iwase can go from having never drawn or done anything associated with manga to suddenly getting a manuscript together that's good enough to excite Eiji, Hattori and Yuujirou? It just seems completely unrealistic and unnecessary, like the show is just throwing obstacles at Ashirogi without any real thought about making sense. Either that, or they're just saying that Hattori is just that good an editor, which only further serves to highlight that Miura is inept. For the good of the show, Miura has to go, and soon. |
| Hmm Nakai is annoying so I'm glad he left! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| So the gag manga wasn't serialised, huh... big rip And bon voyage Nakai you went from a boomer to a simp to an ugly bastard lol |
 |
| I’m actually glad that the gag manga weren’t serialized though I’m quite sad that we’ll not gonna see Kaya x Takagi marriage but that can wait. I hope they get back in creating serious ones and just drop the gag one. And, I don’t like when Aoki showed up when Nakai’s about to go, he’s a douche so he didn’t deserve that. Hope he’ll never come back. |
| Glad to see Nakai out of the picture, although sadly probably not for too long. I bet Eiji and Iwase will beat Ashirogi first but will be defeated in the end by those two because their chemistry sucks unlike Saiko and Shuujin. |
 |
| Iwase and Niizuma together... that's quite the bizarre yet fascinating linkup to say the least. Makes sense for why the Hattoris want to pursue them doing the +Natural manga adaptation project together, especially for Akira's side since he has the opportunity to create a great manga for the magazine that would do really well numbers wise, and motivate Ashirogi Muto in the process to break out of their stagnant couple years and compete with Eiji Niizuma again on equal terms with their best manga possible, which with no disrespect, its not Tanto at all. Going to be quite the chaotic ride seeing Iwase now be involved in the same manga-sphere as the rest, especially for her rivalry with Takagi. |
| New ED is meh but I'm glad that Nakai is leaving. At least the show didn't villainize him greatly. |
   |
| Wow, Iwase actually got Eiji excited since only Ashirogi was the only one to constantly keep him hype. Props to her. I really wish Ashirogi would change editors and that they’d start a serious one again. |
  |
| I guess this is a farewell to Nakai.... |
| Well guess they have to adapt with Miura.... |
| LoL, when aoki kou thought about thanking all who helping her they showed hirmaru too from some reason, in small size, i just laughed hard so much for it xDDDD nakai left, though he deserved being "dumped" he had good art skills, too bad his ideology took suicide for nothing. he actually said so himself. he was good character 'till the part he thought only about what he wants without considering others. the chief editor knew ashirogi are trouble maker so he wanted them to present him scolding takahama as well xD just when they thought about miura taking them in the wrong way. too bad they can't persuade hi to do serious manga. yuujiro and hattori are pure scammers LOL though there was a lot of this episode, it just felt too slow from some reason. the way i feel it JC just taking the less interesting part to-be-adapted (those who read the manga knows what i mean, the manga is masterpiece, but in anime it can be not so much) to reach the interesting stuff. |
| I watched this before episode 16 by accident lol Anyway, not sure how to feel about Nakai. I kind of feel sad watching him like this, but he brought this all on himself. He got way too full of himself, and acted disrespectfully and creepily towards both Aoki and Kato. I hope he reflects on himself and can become a better person. Maybe then I can root for him. But Aoki's face of pure joy and happiness after getting serialised was top notch. I like her character a lot. |
 |
| I don't know why everyone is so insistent on trying to stop Nakai from leaving at this point. Especially since he's given up on himself. It's not like he's trying to draw and turn himself around and needs a break. It's better to let him bow out and think about what he's done and what type of person he wants to become. Having him jump into another assistant role, or series for that matter, would probably just let him continue to harass his colleagues. Ah, someone finally tried to abandon Miura. I can somewhat understand why the editor-in-chief was so defensive, but considering how nonchalant Miura is, you'd think he would've gotten somewhat of a stern talking to as well. He has managed to turn himself around a little bit in the past couple episodes, but still, his fucks up definitely outweigh his development at the moment. He needs just as much of a dose of reality as the artists do. That being said, we finally get a breath of fresh air in the revival of Niizuma and the return of Hattori. Now this is a promising development. |
