Does anyone else think that hiding his partnership with Aoki will be a problem for Takagi? What if she calls while Miyoshi is there and she finds out, or something similar? I'd like to see that in later chapters.

Also, maybe Ohba and Obata are using Mashiro and Takagi to express some of their own ideas? The boy having to hide the dog from everyone sounds similar to Takagi having to hide his working with Aoki.

I just wanted to share my thoughts.. thanks for reading my nonsensical babbling.

[Strawberrysugar]

i think its wrong for him to hide it.
the relationship is completely innocent miyoshi will understand if he tells her
secrets only cause misunderstandings

[Broken Cube]

I agree. Hiding it from Miyoshi will only make it seem worse, right?

First, her name is Aoki not Aiko.^^
Sure it will be a problem, but he telled us the reason: He thoughts that Miyoshi wouldn´t understnad that and that she would demand that he stays away from Aoki. So all we have to do, is to wait for the explosion when Miyoshi finds out.^g^

I think so too, remember the heroine from Detective Trap? She looked like a second Azuki. Or in the new series, the teacher looks alot like Aoki, also the one thing about seeing the panties of the teacher- who got asked if he wants to see Aokis underwear?

Cource it´s kinda wrong, but he thought it was the best way to do, lets watch how that will turn out.
Completely innocent? They were talking about panties and why men wants to see them! XDDD
Also on Aokis part, she starts to developes some feelings for Takagi without realizing it.
*Had a good and fun time cause they are both mangakas.* Hehe, sure sure.

That´s the intention of the mangakas. I don´t believe this problem will end with a simple apologize like in Miuras case.

We also have to consider who they are hiding it from. Of course it would be wrong to hide it from Miyoshi because it would just sow seeds of misunderstandings. However, I think its necessary to hide it from Aoki's perverted editor. For Aoki, it's because of pride, my reason, is because I think Aoki is suited to a much better person than be toyed by the stupid editor.

But he's just assuming that. What if he's wrong?

Yes! It would be very fun to see Aoki develop a crush on Takagi.

Well, the seeds are already growing without tagaki knowing...
Despite his playboy attitude this editor has quite a good nose for good mangakas- meaning Aoki and that social creep. The others editors of his group, espically the leader of it, would have dropped them without a second thought, but he take them and find a gold and a diamond mine at once.
But i suspect he doesn´t think of his relationship with Aoki as only a mere work related one. OO

No prob, Iwase´s name is Aiko, so it´s no wonder when someone mix those similar names up.^^

No, rereading the earlier chapter Miyoshi is a nice ad caring girl, but also a pushy and overprotection one. She wouldn´t have liked it when he starts talking to Aoki the whole night, she would have accept it but at the same time she would be jeaolus and suspecting of him.
Look, she tried to reach him two whole nights in a row and Tagaki already told Mashiro that she writes him hundreds of SMS per day and that she often calls him. So she´s afraid of losing him, which was shown back in middle school where she telled Azuki that he´s way to good for her.
Only my two cents, i can be wrong of cource. :P

The hints are growing with each chapter for that and wasn´t it Tagaki who said *I bet this sort of situation (talking the whole night on the phone) could also lead to a Romance, too*. of cource he was talking about manga, but still she seems *a bit* wondering about it.^^

Thx for understanding.
Isn´t it funny, that not Aoki was the one Miyoshi will think Tagaki is cheating with her, but Mashiro was waning Tagaki not to make Miyoshi cry cause of Aoki, but it happend to be Iwase. XD
Would have never guessed that Iwase starts to write manga cause she still likes Tagaki. Oo
I´m so glad that those two (Aoki and Tagaki) are still talking to each other even though they are in a competion now.^^
Dang Miyoshi is so sad... wonder what Mashiro and Tagaki will think when they find the key. Doesn´t that mean, that Miyoshi doesn´t want to come back to the appartement, that she desn´t want to see them and espically Tagaki anymore? OO"

[cloverclover2]

he hide Aoki and now he is going to have this great problem because of Miyoshi reading the other girl's letter
i believe that if he wouldnt have hide her, he would not be going to have thisproblem

[PandaDude]

Ah that letter really just made her sad. This could go either way. It will either strengthen their relationship, or break them up for good. IM HOPING FOR THE FIRST ONE!!!

[arren]

To those thinking it is ok to hide it,,,,

Of course it is not ok to hide it >.>

He must ask Miyoshi permission first if he wants to indulge in talking to another girl for 2 hours ????

If he had told Miyoshi, yes Miyoshi will allow him to work with Aoki, but No, Miyoshi wont allow him to talk for 2 whole hours >.> or like encourage each other in that very close manner !!

It is completely unfair to Miyoshi, if Takagi wants to talk to another girl without telling his girlfriend, then he doesnt deserve a girlfriend in the first place.

The reason why they felt bad about it cos they know that it is completely wrong in the first place.
