Using a couple results that could have just been because fans realized their author was going down, as a reason to go this route doesn't sit well. Feels like Miura is pushing his own interests onto Mashiro and Takagi instead of trying to make a manga that builds to their strengths. Avoiding conflict (not going head to head) instead of surpassing their competition.

Spoiler for 10:

I think even if Miura's right that a gag manga will do well, even if he's right that Ashirogi Muto can get a serialization with one, he's wrong to think forcing them to can possibly end well. They're not like Hiramaru who has to be coerced and/or tricked to draw at all. They're already hardworking. But going against the grain like that just risks burning them out and getting sub-par work as a result. And then where will they be?

Also, having them trust his eye because he's an editor is just pathetic. They trust him or they don't. An argument of authority isn't going to change that.
