THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Surprisingly, no new OP and ED (probably next ep.?).

Miyoshi asking Azuki for suggestion, and Azuki, assuming that Saikou knows about it, is hating both of them for hiding it. It took a while for Shuujin to call Miyoshi.

3 gags per page? The meeting is going well even though there are still things to improve.

Shuujin and female mangaka are still having phone conversation, short though.

lol @ both Ashirogi Muto and female mangaka editors' fight.

It took a long time for Saikou to realize he can just sample kids in the park for the main character.

lol @ female mangaka using the love of Saikou and Azuki into her manga!! Niizuma worries about the pair.

lol @ Fukuda!!

Azuki calling for explanation. She doesn't like Saikou for hiding something (not just about this matter, but also about uncle and mother).

Next ep. they try to explain the misunderstand to both girls.

Sigh. Takagi is pissing me off, he's not willing to call Miyoshi himself, but is instead waiting for HER to apologize? What is up with that.

And Mashiro's stupid. "I can't trust you" doesn't mean that Azuki is dumping you.

Uh-oh @ Mashiro getting dumped :P
But there`s nothing wrong with what Takagi has done, he has just been getting advice from a author friend, and he didn`t arrange a meeting with Iwase.
The girls is just being irrational.

And is Bakuman a gag anime? :P

okay WOAH things are just spiraling out of control. For starters Azuki, I'm impressed she's standing up for Miyoshi but she coud at least have called Mashiro later on (maybe when he wasn't RIGHT IN FRONT OF TAKAGI - if she wanted him to spill the beans, Mashiro isn't the type to betray takagi - but even if he was he would never have done it RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

Nakai san is an idiot
Aoki is a foo - who likes takagi
Iwase is a bigger idiot she should be called in to explain this mess
Poor Mashiro got dragged into this for no good reason I feel so bad for the guy...I've lost respect for Azuki as well - what's with the whole "RAT ON YOUR BEST FRIEND IN FRONT OF HIM OR I CANT TRUST YOU" BITCH!

I'm starting to wonder wth I'm watching. Takagi is slowly buidling a harem, and everyone's communication skills have dropped beyond limited.
Takgi is an ass for not simply keeping his gf up to date, and the girls are idiots for hastily jumping to conclusions. Very frustrating to watch.
Good thing we have Yoshida trolling Hiramaru for comic relief.

More interesting is the foreshadowing by Eiiji, and his editor wondering what caused the gap between them. Miura comes to mind...

I'm squarely on Miyoshi's side here, not because of the novelist misunderstanding, but because of the long telephone talks between Takagi and Aoki. I just don't recall any such deep conversations between Miyoshi and Takagi even though they've been going out for four years more or less. If Takagi wanted a female viewpoint on issues, why didn't he ask Miyoshi first? Miyoshi has been providing unpaid assistance on the various manga, cleaning and maintaining the studio, and been emotional support for Takagi over all that time--it's no wonder she's a little peeved when she finds out that Takagi has not been entirely forthright with her.

Now Takagi is probably just a typical clueless 18 year old male (no offense meant to all of you out there who are 18 and not as clueless as I was at that age), since he has been quite upfront about Miyoshi being his girlfriend with both Aoki and Iwase, but he needs to wise up and make things right pretty quickly. As for Mashiro, I've been waiting for that particular secret (his uncle and Azuki's mother) to rise up and bite him in the ass. Didn't he think that his betrothed would be interested in the fact that their relationship is mirroring the one in the previous generation? Ashirogi has given the two girls plenty to work with, and in the absence of any meaningful communication from the boyfriends it is no wonder they are jumping to conclusions. And if you think you are in trouble now, just wait until the issue of Jack hits the stands and Miyoshi and Azuki read it. These trust issues need to be addressed now.

The only ones with a lick of sense appear to be Fukuda and Eiji--go figure.

True enough. I just hope he never tells her that to her face though....

And even if that is the case, he might have wanted to start the information gathering there--at least then she would have been in the loop. But I'll give this point to you...

This.

I never liked Azuki in the first place. But with this stupidity I started to hate her in the manga. She can't trust him, because he doesn't tell her stuff that Takagi entrusted to him? Really? Like "hey, deceive that guy, you call your best friend and probably working partner for life, or I won't trust you". Gash.

PS: Yoshida is boss.

This, i don't see why so many people are blaming Takagi; it happens in real life too, misunderstandings cause jumping to conclusions without ever actually approaching the problem head on; Miyoshi didn't even listen to the explanation so she is to blame for not seeking a resolution; its not like he planned any of it and lied about it; he just didn't say anything; can any guy seriously say they would just say everything in that scenario? its instinct to hide things like that even if they are small; well what ever I'm guessing a resolution by next episode or the one after by the latest since i don't see this going on too long; but in this scenario I'll note Azuki really is the most annoying; i didn't like her mom for not waiting and i don't like Azuki's character that much either; but i suppose she fills her role; the motivation which drives the plot so all's good even if she isn't.

See, what I'm finding really interesting about the feedback for this episode (no sarcasm behind it, I swear) is that I look at all of the comments on who hates who and who's symphasizing with who and then I look at the prfiles of whoever posted what. Most of people here that have been blaming Takagi and Mashiro, such as itsvero, Takai, cleo, and Edefrem are female while most of the males here have been saying otherwise like blaming the girls in the show for instance.

What dyou think I did :p Guess I'm not making much of a breakthrough here with mostly siding with mashiro/takagi's side while being a dude though, if we can find a girl who sides with takagi/mashiro for the good reasons I'll marry her lol xD damn unreasonable women ^^

I mean I get that Azuku is Miyoshi's best friend too and all but CMON, asking your boyfriend to flat out betray his best friend with the THREAT, yah really, of distrust !? That's looooow

Ok so Kaya is upset after reading the note, understandable, but when takagi does call and wants to explain you don't let him but then later you blame the dude for not explaining o_O? Takagi SHOULD call his GF of all people more often though, that's also a fact
