[spoiler=Thoughts]Congrats to Hiramaru. I'm glad he finally got what he wanted, and his interactions with Hiramaru continue to be hilarious.

Before anyone else says it: "What, 900,000? There's no way that could be right!" I'm serious, I don't get how the numbers could have increased to that amount over such a short amount of time. Maybe positive word of mouth just spread like wildfire? You also have to consider that there could be people who are fans of both series.[/spoiler]

Her friend is an otaku though. I'm thinking along the lines of 'try and steal Mashiro' or 'hook Mashiro up with her friend'.

But only male otaku rage about information like "popular voice actress X has a boyfriend/got married/is pregnant". In fact, every damn time, death threats get sent out and people get arrested.

Also, from the reactions from both Kato and her friend, it seems both of them completely accept that they're no competition, so doing that would make no sense.

The whole mascot character thing is a stupid idea, and I hate to say it, but that's basically dumbing down the story to make it appeal to a wider audience. Because Reversi strikes me as something like Death Note, I don't know why they should even bother aiming the story towards children. They should try and spread their appeal towards females first. That's why I prefer Mashiro's suggestion of breather chapters. I actually kind of wanted this chapter to reflect that as soon as it was brought up.

Ririka is the only one of the two interested in Mashiro, and there was a very brief hint that Kato likes Shiratori. Speaking of which, when are we going to see him again?

Kato liked Mashiro earlier, however. She only dropped it because she saw Miho.

That said, yeah, we haven't seen Shiratori in a while.

The long-awaited vacation time that I've been hoping to see and it's only a chapter long? Nertz.
If they get the anime, does that mean Bakuman's ending soon? I feel like that would be the ultimatum since Shonen mangas tend to address the ultimate dream at the series' end.
But it doesn't feel like Bakuman will end any time soon either, or maybe that's just me. Hiramaru finally got over himself, the editorial department had a change-up, Nakai's on his way to getting back on his feet, Fukuda probably won't surpass Eiji or Ashirogi, but hey...
I'm wondering if there's anything left to expand upon before the series ends. Maybe we're heading toward a final hoorah?
