| Koogi is a dick, Aoki is a bitch, and I cant wait for Niizuma's hilarious antics next episode. |
| Blergh. |
| I still lol at Ryuk Hattori's face. And they really do look alike. lolGackt-ish multi-tasker The music was kinda good, but that Kouji can't sing. My ears are bleeding. *goes to listen to SCANDAL* Ah, much better. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Aoki didn't mention her opinion of Nizuma's "Crow" did she? Well, she can't considering his work is already serialized. I still wonder though. |
| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| Koogy's songs dont sound good. And his manga that we saw for a little bit had crap art... |
| i want to know the name of the song that koogy was first singing... |
| I really like thise Anime :D Aoki was so... cold O.O Koogy's song was sing by Hyde |
      Bonus candies:  |
| Haha at first I thought Koogy was Eiji in disguise. ^_^; |
 |
| It seems that I'm the only one here torn about what to think about this Kouji guy. He's a typical character who people hate from the very beginning but... but... BUT!!! I'm a seiyuu otaku and I simply can't hate anyone voiced by Morikubo Showtaro!!! :( |
| It's pretty obvious that Koogy is not really commited to manga, he just sees it as one more art form to dabble in--his real project is his own "awesome" self. As said above, his manga doesn't really look very jack-like, although editors and publishers would sell their collective soul if it built circulation significantly. It will also be interesting to see how the power relationship plays out between the editorial staff and the aspiring mangakas. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Yeah that's a very cheap tactic to win. |
 |
| KOOGY seems to have jerkiness to his personality. He doesn't seem to do manga because of his love it like the other mangakas are, but instead because he wants popularity. |
 |
| Koogy is a real bastard and he knows hit, Eiji was different in that he is just crazy so I really can't forgive Koogy. I wonder if they'll succeed, next episode will be mangakas vs editors I guess. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Koogy is awesome, what are you all talking about. And I don't see how that was a cheap trick. He has fans so it's natural they'll support him. Any of the otehrs would have done the same. |
Kugutsue said: Koogy is awesome, what are you all talking about. And I don't see how that was a cheap trick. He has fans so it's natural they'll support him. Any of the otehrs would have done the same. Yeah, but what the problem is that they won't support the manga because of the quality of the manga, but because they are their fans. The fans probably won't even read the other manga and still send in the papers that Koogy is the best. That is why its an extremely underhanded tactic. Hes not relying on his skill as a manga writer but hes relying on loyal fans. |

| Good episode, new character. |

PoweredByRamen said: Koogy just looks like a giant douche. This. |
| I have been rewatching Bakuman and I have to say the foreshadowing for Koogy is really great.He has been appearing or mentioned (either playing in the background or people talking about him) constantly since episode 2. |
| A couple new faces that might cause difficulties on their path but well this sure makes it more interesting! Let's see what happens next! |
 |
| finally koogy makes an apperance after all those clues |
| Oh god, I hear Goro instead of the rock guy. Possible solution: Make mangaka names anonymous?? Therefore, readers won't know who it is. |
| Woah, haha, that Aoki sure have a good temper. I already like her :) That was really a BS move from that singer. Using his popularity to earn vote in another domain, I understand the other participant to be pissed, not fair at all. |

Wouldn't be fair if he wins just b/c all of his fans vote for him even if they could care less about manga. |
 |
| Koogy is a clever guy, a tool though :D Yuriko is... interesting. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I thought this Koojy will be a love rival to Saiko |
| Dirty tricks. Cheap, dirty tricks. |
| uwah, can't believe I'm almost done watching the first season. I didn't even notice. damn, I guess I really am enjoying this show. |
 |
| Koogy is a butthole.....just sayin' |
 |
on 
| I'm glad they're going to stand up against him! I kind of knew what was coming as soon as he was introduced, but it still makes for a good plot twist. |
  |
| Oh gee...imagine if Mashiro accidentally got curry on the manuscript and had to start all over. "Being a mangaka means cutting down on your lifespan." Wow, Mashiro laughed at that. He clearly doesn't take what happened to his uncle too seriously at this point. "I did not think it was the right type of story for a shonen magazine. It was too bleak." Uhh...how successful was Death Note again? Gee, the assistants Mashiro made buddy-buddy with are all rivals with Mashiro and Takagi for the Golden Future Cup now. Wow, Colorfusical looked...very flamboyant. Definitely not something that would run in Jump Jack. (Yes, I know about JoJo, but that has plenty of violence and other things for young boys.) Shoujo, josei, or an oddball seinen magazine would all be better candidates. It seems like Hattori agreed with me, even if he was trying to keep his thoughts to himself. Another new character...this KOOGY guy really wants to risk his successful music career to become a mangaka. Though I guess it's less of a risk when you have a fanbase like that...he's a bit of a slimeball, isn't he? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| New adversaries enter the fray! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Do not underestimate Koogy fangirls lol Koogy's entry in the Shueisha scores are going to get boosted so much. |
 |
| Koogy's a mangaka eh. His timing to announce that works given how he can easily get serialized if the questionnaires are rigged with fans of his voting for him rather than the manga itself. Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the competition in that Golden Future Cup handles this predicament since it is unfair that he has a big platform to rig the voting for his favor in comparison to the rest, even Ashirogi Muto's editor, Hattori, indicated that he wants them to beat Kouji Makaino's work no matter what. Also we met a new character today, Ko Aoki, the person who Mashiro could have worked with if Mashiro truly wanted to leave Takagi and draw his art with her story. She's quite the character with "refined" taste and standards, and Nakai is quite the "simp" as we say in 2020/21 for her. At least he's involved in a project that could push him to potential serialization if successful so that's something. |
| Seems someone beside Fukuda wants a revolution in Jack.... |
| fact that mashiro did 2 all nights and almost collapsed at their meeting saying something about his future as mangaka in high school. never liked aoki so much, specially at this stage where she does have "special opinion" and kinda bossy. glad for nakai though, he truly deserves it. koogi play dirty by using his own popularity. problem is, good manga gets popular from it's story, not from his fans. the fact that he says he just want to do another big thing in his life, just saying he's too ambitious to be mangaka, where in this series mangaka is showing to be one that sacrifice other things for it, he just want another thing to "accomplish". fukuda team, go! |
| Great episodeeee |
 |
| Feeling the intensity An rival with a unfair advantage And teaming up Fukuda grew on me so much hes my favorite character so far |
