Bakuman – Episode 6

Anger snap!

I don’t know this guy…

Relax, this isn’t an interrogation

Hmmm… I’m not happy with how he’s drawn

It’s like a rollercoaster!

He looks so bored

With a short phone call Takagi manages to arrange an appointment with an editor named Hattori for 3pm the next day.

Takagi and Mashiro agree to meet at 1pm at the station, but they both arrived at 12pm. Neither of them could sleep.

On the train Takagi tells his tale of childhood about how his mum forced him to study everyday and one day he snapped which made his mum a better parent and let Takagi choose what he wants to do.

3pm and the two stand in front of the editorial department building. They nervously make their way inside and complete the formalities. They are directed to a large booth and wait there. Hattori appears a short while later and reads their manuscript. He finishes, but then reads it again.

As he reads we also read with him as a narrator dictates the manga lines and some voice actors play the people.

He finishes reading, says it’s well-done and offer them coffee. He then gives feedback. Too much narration make it more suitable to be a novel and apparently the drawings didn’t seem manga-ry. Hattori also concludes that Takagi’s the calculating type of mangaka who think what’ll be a hit then write it. Hattori gives them his card and email address and asks that they bring any future manuscripts to him and says that he’ll enter this manuscript into the monthly awards. All the while Mashiro is thinking if Hattori’s a good editor or not.

When they come out he thinks he is.

Back in the editorial department, Hattori makes a bold assertion that he thinks Mashiro and Takagi will surpass Eiji in 3 years.

We end as Mashiro and Azuki find out they are seated next to each other for the next trimester.
