Reigning supreme over Jump~

Ah, I just love the extensive energy in this chapter.
The artwork that Akito made definitely had talent behind it. Loved these two chapters. It was really refreshing again to read bits of Bakuman :D

This chapter makes Mashiro look really obsessive, was he always like this in the main series as well?

Anyways, I'm just happy Mashiro didn't draw any hentai in his notebook.

These couple of chapters might not have brought any new revelations to the series, but the nostalgia trip was nice. Hopefully we get some epilogue chapters someday too.

I liked that it showed more of Mashiro's early artwork. So now it doesn't seem like Tagaki teamed up with him based on a single drawing of Azuki.

A very nice short prequel. Takagi's point of view is very interesting.

Mashiro is such a creeper here.

This was hella stupid. A real waste of energy went into creating these chapters on their part and on mine with bothering to read it, just like the Death Note sequel chapter.

This is for promotion of the live action movie, It's basically an ad. They got attention and we got a little more story, win-win. I don't know why you are so mad about it.

Lol, the third year of middle school was essentially a bunch of stalking by Takagi of Mashiro and Azuki while Mashiro stealth drew Azuki a ton. XD

Definitely enjoyed this short prequel. Takagi's perspective for this made it even more intriguing.

Mashiro, you're kind of a creep. XD

Yuujirou is such an idiot. He didn't think of the consequences at all and he was really lucky that Niizuma is a genius with insane stamina.

Takagi didn't plan anything when he confronted Mashiro. Instead he tried to look cool for no reason. What a chuusan-chuunibyou.

Yet his talk with Miyoshi about Azuki's seiyuu dream wasn't shown. Not that it was necessery, but it would fit nicely here.

Funny enough that they already get the studio on the next day.

This chapter made me recall how arrogant Niizuma used to be at times. I'm glad he has become a lot more humble now, though.

Such a nice prequel! Both chapters were fun and cute, it was nice to read something from Akito's point of view again. And man, the artstyle impreoved SO SO MUCH when you compare it to the first chapter of the original series, it's insane.
