Bakuman by Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi

[FrostyMouse]

So, now the question is how much longer Bakuman goes on for.

Hands up who think there will be a "the votes were manipulated" riot on the net!

[hao-sama]

i don't think they'll do that. the people who voted are probably the ones interested in watching the anime anyway, and the votes indicate which one is most interesting. there's no reason for the casting company to manipulate the votes.

[Enn]

^ Haha, possible. But I think the performance speaks for itself.

[sekida]

I'm surprised that Ohba didn't put his typical cliffhanger.

Anyway, I can't see any reasons if they need to wait for something.. like when she really voice the actual anime?
I mean, they need to get married right now!!! LOL!

ME wants to see a unique, flashy, surprising marriage not a typical boring super dramatic wedding ceremony.

Ishizawa will possibly do that.

Or what if the anime production absolutely simulated the votes (as they were impressed, they're the ones who're good in the technical aspect of things, anyway)? Then when the anime gets going, it received mainly negative reviews due to Azuki, thereby implying the issue of simulated votes.

I was wondering what the "twist" was going to be The fact that there was no cliffhanger at the end was also surprising to me, it almost felt too soon and so easy, haha. I enjoyed the "white/black demon" script error as well. I wonder now how things are going to wrap up!

[Nognir]

This chapter was supposed to be the conclusion, even though I wouldn't mind one more cliffhanger, like ending the chapter at the beginning of the announcement of the results.

[azeriraz]

I wonder now that that's settled, whether the story will focus a little on the other mangaka; Hiramaru + Aoki, Nizuma and Fukuda have all made appearances but I wonder if Iwase will make another appearance?

I just can't agree with a flashy wedding, Mashiro and Azuki are not the type to parade their love, they have a more quite, private love; sorry, but I think you'll be rather disappointed.

On another note the promise was that they would marry after Azuki voiced the Heroin, so we might have to wait for them to finish animating Reversi? Well, truth be told, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the process that goes behind the animating, but regardless, this moment feels so perfect right now; I don't want them to ruin it by stretching out the story. I have to say this is the most joy I've felt while reading Bakuman, the absolute climax, so the more they stretch it out from here, the less captivating it will be. I hope they finish Bakuman off within the next two to three chapters for the perfect ending.

0. Maybe some of the studio animating
1. Wedding
2. Perhaps an epilogue of their married life/carriers

My thoughts exactly! I could really share their joy just by reading the chinese scanlation (of course I don't know any chinese)

Don't expect Bakuman to last longer than say 10-15 more chapters (They can drag it to there with no problems).
At the very least, they won't drag it on for longer than they can legitimately manage, that's what the Reversi length part was about (Also showing that they regretted how the went about part 2 of Death Note...)

Aside from that, the last few pages gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Miho didn't just win, she DOMINATED the rest of the seiyuus. There was no competition according to the results there (Next visible highest was ~20k votes, Miho had 100k out of 240...)

Yay, the wedding is on.

Yeah, throughout all the arcs, I get the feeling that O&O are talking to me directly, telling me they don't like stretched out stories and don't intend to do so themselves; that they'll end the story at its best point. I think this is best seen in the Ending Crow and Animating Reversi arcs.

People are forgetting the fact Ashirog Muto still haven't beat Nizume yet hence the manga could go on after they get married, also they might introduce a brand new conflict (such as lik divorce?... ye i doubt that, but w/e it's plausbile). Anyways don't think it is over yet.
