----------------------------------------
Well, that certainly is an interesting manga. Loved the art style too:



I have to say that Eiji's skills are really strong. Hell, even Muto Ashirogi admits it. Anyways, another good episode imo.

KajiKaji's character is still there, which I'm glad. I'm liking the voice of the main guy in PCP!! The story is nice, I got tension? excited? when watching it on anime, even though it seems simple yet hard.

And Niizuma already got better new manga. lol~ Even though it's just a bit, young Niizuma is cute.

Kaya was like "so cool" when Eiji declared his new manga. Does anyone know if the season 3 will cover until the last chapter of the manga? Seems like next episode will be the big announcement of that.

Do you guys think they will finish this up properly? They have been on pace for about 3 chapters an episode, which will still fall short by about 10 chapters in the manga - which are by far the most important ones of all.

I would hope they would finish it properly by rushing through the second Nanamine arc or omitting parts in their entirety. That was a pretty pointless arc in the manga IMO. I don't want them to rush the end but who knows.

What do you all think? How do you think they will handle it?

They'll either try and make them fit somehow, or release a 3-episode OVA with the ending of the anime, that's my guess.

Remember what they said at the beginning of the season? The next time they meet is when their dreams come true. Yeah.

Next episode is "Zombies vs Demons".
That's chapter 151... that comes after Nanamine's second arc.

Also there isn't any arc between the end of Crow and Nanamine's second arc. Except one or two chapters about Iwase...

That's the one I was talking about, Iwase's (I didn't know you were referring to the title), though check the last scene in the preview,
Wait, who's that guy in the end? He's not one of the old-men in Nanamine's arc.

Nanamine's arc is 10 chapters so skipping it would make the rest of the manga fit in this season, and the arc wasn't that good to begin with, so I don't think it's a problem skipping it to end the series the way the manga ended.

"Zombies vs Demons".
If that what new Eiji's manga is going to be about than yeah, it's going to be weird again :D Still, can't wait to see it!
Pretty sweet episode, I'm actually happy that they didn't win with the Crow till the end, it's more realistic this way. And as a reader myself, I appreciate his will to create best manga ending. If only everybody could do that...
Anyway there's not much time now. I don't think that Ashirogi have time to create another manga, which would be able to fight with Eiji for the first place, huh...

All that Niizuma! I missed him so much at the beginning of the season. That flashback of him drawing as a child was just too cute.

And I always love to see the friendly rivalries between the mangaka. It's my favorite part of the series (aside from Niizuma himself).

Man that was awesome. A lot of emotion and respect between rivals, that is how it should be. This episode finally convinced me to start reading the manga for this anime, I feel like there's so much more I am missing so gonna start on that but probably stop reading at this point in the story, I kinda wanna end with the anime since I saw it first.

I actually feel like that arc might get skipped which I wouldn't mind at all. I only enjoyed 2 flashbacks in the arc and didn't care for the rest ofi t.

That was a really good episode. I'm glad CROW ended the way Niizuma wanted. Also i'm very curious about his new manga. This episode made me feel excited about this battle between mangakas~ it never happened, so i'm glad, because i'm liking Bakuman more and more!

Miho should appear after they serialize the next series... which shouldn't be that far.

I remember that old guy, he's the guy who was in charge of switching the editor in chief and promoting the vice editor in chief to editor in chief and also promoting team leader or whatever.

Being the Mega Man fan that I am, I instantly recognized Kumiko Higa (who also plays Moritaka's mom in the show) during the PCP chapter dub. Minoru has the same exact voice as Netto Hikari from Rockman.EXE.

It's a moot tidbit, but I thought it was pretty awesome.

Alright so can the author and artist of Bakuman make a PCP manga for real already? LOL! I seriously want to read it, that chapter looks so flipping awesome. Niizuma's CROW manga ended and he's gonna start a new series that he claims to be the best manga written ever. Oh snap, some challenge there. Ashirogu Mutou, get fired up bros!

This was amazing, "reading" PCP was really entertaining.
I wanted to know more about Niizuma's past, that was kind of disappointing.
