Oshimeter
Synopsis
With the serialization of their new manga, "Detective Trap," the writer-artist team, Akito Takagi and Moritaka Mashiro, better known by their pseudonym Muto Ashirogi, are one step closer to becoming world-renowned mangaka. For Mashiro, however, serialization is just the first step. Having promised to marry his childhood sweetheart and aspiring voice actress, Azuki Miho, once his manga gets an anime adaptation, Mashiro must continue his to popularize Ashirogi's work. A tremendously competitive cast of ambitious mangaka—including the wild genius, Eiji Niizuma; the elegant student, Yuriko Aoki, and her older admirer and partner, Takurou Nakai; the lazy prodigy, Kazuya Hiramaru; and the abrasive artist, Shinta Fukuda—both support and compete against Muto Ashirogi in creating the next big hit. As they adjust to their young and seemingly untested new editor, the dynamic duo struggle to maintain their current serialization, secure the top spot in Shounen Jack, and ultimately, achieve an anime adaptation of their manga. With new rivals and friends, Bakuman. 2nd Season continues Takagi and Mashiro's inspiring story of hard work and young love.

This episode has my favorite line from Mashiro. It showed both his humbleness and experience as a mangaka, which further endear me to him. Particularly about cultural value of manga that is still being discussed today and tied to the theme of the story greatly.
So far, every episode has Ashirogi Mutou power up by getting new ideas and inspiration for both boys that gets me hyped up. It's nice that they take all the lessons from all the experience and people surrounding them that makes us invest in past episodes. Nice
What a cruel cliffhanger to have, certainly grips you until you get to the next episode. The fictional manga had been interesting enough to want me to read it myself. I also love the Chief Editor can be relied to keep a reasonable tension of the story.
Enjoying Ashirogi Mutou's attempt at grinding for ideas. It was fun and unexpected on how Takagi's story became more solid with every idea and inspiration he received. The project is the culmination of every struggle they had in this season which makes it that satisfying
It was overdramatic with the way Ashirogi was cornered to do their best after the last high stake they promised, but what I do love the most is Miura's growth being written clearly and FINALLY making an effort to take into account of their preference. It's a long time coming.
It ends up circling back to the same argument all over again with different execution. It was boring for me and further underlined that Miura wasn't the best editor despite trial and error. It's like all the uplifting feeling I invest on him had gone to waste.
