Spoiler for Ep19:
Congrats to Takagi and Kaya. That's an actual congrats unlike Iwase who just showed up to be a jerk. It is pretty nuts how the lives of the two couples intertwine so much. Of course it also helped getting the approval from Kaya's father. Good thing it wasn't about karate since Mashiro and Takagi would have gotten their asses kicked. It's nice though for Takagi and Kaya to take this step, now living together.
It was fun seeing Niizuma trying so hard to get Mashiro and Takagi fired up. He was really rubbing it in their faces. "I've got your favorite editor, I've got your rival, I've got 2 good mangas, etc." One couldn't have said "come and get me" any clearer. It got Ashirogi fired up, but at the same time they won't be able to catch him with this gag manga, at least not like this.
Can already see the stress on Takagi though. He's already struggling because this isn't his strength. Right now he's managing to drag out enough ideas to keep Tanto afloat, but it's hard to say how long he can do it. After all he has to think of the inventions for the good guys and for the bad guys, but it's all got to be comical. They are getting the attention of kids, but not the fanbase that supported Trap. The fact that it's lost Niizuma's interest says volumes on its own.
I really wish Takagi had let Kaya just beat the crap out of Iwase. The only reason she is there is because Natural was scoring higher so she could come there while standing on her arrogant pedestal. Can't see this girl ending up happy with the way she looks at things. She'll only be interested in those she judges of having great talent. Now that she feels superior to Takagi she can feel comfortable about not being with him. I really want to see Natural crash and burn just to see her go down.
I do wonder though what will be the tipping point here. Takagi's stress, Kaya taking action, Hattori, Niizuma, really anyone might force a serious change to take place. Right now Tanto isn't going to make them #1 and while a long running comedy may get an anime, I'm not sure if the pride of Ashirogi can wait that long. They have to make a stand and do something.
