This episode has
been focused solely to the development of the art of Ashirogi Mutou's PCP. It's for the improvement of their
rankings~
I personally think
that it's difficult to maintain a high ranking of around top 5 for every new
and non-mainstream series. Of course if the series is mainstream such as Crow
or other real WSJ series such as One Piece,
Naruto or whatever else, it would be
breeze. Okay, not that easy, but a little easier compared to non-mainstream
series such as PCP. This problem that
the editor-in-chief gave them is pretty difficult and can be pretty hard to
achieve even how much inspiring words Takagi and Mashiro receive. Add to that
the idea that two new series will be up soon, Takahama Shoyo's (Shimowada Hiroki) Seigi no Mikata and Fukuda Shinta's (Suwabe Junichi) Road Racer Giri. Also, +NATURAL's anime would be airing soon. How's that Ashirogi?
Okay, before going
to Ashirogi's problem and my impression of the episode, I'd like to give some
quick thoughts on these new series that will be going in Bakuman.'s WSJ (Weekly Shounen JACK). Fist off,
there's Road Racer Giri which I think is
more of a action-sports manga. On the looks of things, it's something I'll
never touch or even look at. As for Takahama's series, Seigi no Mikata, I'd say
that even though I'm not a fan of his character, depending on the execution of
the his series, it could be pretty interesting. Well, it's just that I'm
actually a fan of series with lots of dialogue and the court room setting is
somehow unique and something I have never tried before.
Now going back to
the real issue here, PCP's ranking needs
to be high enough in a way that it can compete with Niizuma's series namely CROW and
+NATURAL. It wasn't surprising to see Iwase Aiko (Fujimura Ayumi) to
actually give Takagi a call and blurt out Niizuma's thoughts herself. Remember
that she's in here for rivalry not to see Takagi fail helplessly. Nice work Miura.
Saying that Iwase should like the idea that PCP
will be going soon if Ashirogi's ranking keeps on going down.
Ashirogi's
resolution to this lowering ranking is the adjustment of the art. Looks like
Mashiro was focused on the art style of Detective
TRAPP think that it's the one and only art style that could fit Takagi's
PCP. It's pretty interesting how Niizuma
immediately noticed the small changes that Mashiro is doing. With that, he
showed Mashiro that EPIC chapter of CROWwith no dialogue. I was pretty surprised by the idea and was even more
surprised with how well it was received. After that no-dialogue chapter of CROW, Niizuma and Iwase's chapter of +NATURAL became a bigger surprise. THAT
CROSSOVER! I'd say that Iwase is that
desperate since +NATURAL's anime wasn't
probably that well received. LOL.
On a final note,
Hiramaru Kazuya (Morita
Masakazu) has finally made his appearance this season. And yes, it's the
funniest part showed yet. His tea party with Aoki Yuriko (Kawasumi Ayako)!
That tea mistake joke was freaking sold out to me. And this just confirmed that
Yoshida Kouji (Koyasu
Takehito) is only trolling on Hiramaru. Well at least for how~
The preview suggests
that there would be an additional character in PCP :3 I like the part in the manga when they
showed some pages of PCP there.
Hopefully they'll show them here as well. PCP
is just my fave work by Ashirogi Mutou~
