Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Page 18: ]

When you have teenagers working to become mangaka, the drama is that much more effective, isn’t it? Rivalry and competition burns in their souls, or at least for those who aren’t Eiji. I’m not sure he realizes the extent of his skill but Shujin and Saiko did! If he works like that then he wouldn’t ever miss any deadlines. This guy doesn’t even do names. It’s just draw, draw, draw. Give this guy an anime already. He’ll go by so fast that the anime doesn’t need to worry about going ahead! So the two are now trying to convince Hattori that they want to go mainstream. Let’s see just how it goes.

Eiji is insane. The guy was able to finish both his chapters two and three within less than half an hour. Yeah, he did say it was all already in his head but that’s still an insane feat to pull. I can’t imagine what Saiko and Shujin could be thinking after seeing that but it seems like they just got more motivated after witnessing Eiji draw firsthand. They’re pretty stubborn though with wanting to stay mainstream. It’ll be interesting to see how the next six months in Bakuman play out.
