Man, my heart can't handle this cuteness. Nikaidou's trying so hard!

A hard-boiled character with a cutesy background? Sounds like my kind of comedy manga

Ah, we finally found a flaw on Nikaidou!

I hate to be a downer but working as a mangaka in real life can be kind of ass, right?

I don't have any experience myself but seeing this last chapter gave me flashbacks to some of the other stories I've read involving mangaka.

Yeah if Bakuman is even a little accurate then being a mangaka seems like a terrible occupation.

It actually seem worse, considering Bakuman idealizes the profession and clearly makes everything sounds as good as possible. (!I almost died drawing but that is good because showed my passion!"). If even it makes being a mangaka sound dreadful, the reality must be even worse.

That said, to be fair, working for a big, hyper competitive, weekly magazine might be considerably worse than working for a smaller venues. Inko is still an amateur, right? So tight deadlines aren't a constant yet. And if she find job in a monthly or even bi-monthly magazine, it likely will be a more relaxed pace than Shonen Jump (though smaller pay, of course)

"Didn't you get an award in a sketching competition?"

Wait, what?
Is this a retcon? Or can anyone recall when it was mentioned before?

In any case, I have trouble believing that a judging panel would give an art award to Nikaidou if this sort of doodling is the best of her ability. And it took her an hour, too! I could have done better in ten minutes, and I totes suck at art. :-/

i'd like to see a crossover with nichijou, with mai helping tadokoro with her backgrounds

I'd say that her excitement over working with the artist she admires and loves so much is wrecking her skills somewhat fierce.

Hehehe, yeah, it must be hard to focus on drawing when you are alone in a room with your girlfriend and all you can think of is nookie, nookie, nookie!

I was half expecting a super moe-ified background or a highly technical sketch. It'll be interesting to see if that's actually the extent of her skill or if proximity to Tadoroko is destroying her ability to draw.

It could also be thy she was trying to match Tadokoro's art style, rather than drawing in one she's more familiar with, and thats why's causing her problems.

It was sweet while it lasted, but it's crystal clear the author has no idea where to go from here and is just going with the flow

It's kinda been that way since chapter 15 or so, honestly. But the flow is good, so why worry?

I honestly already expected this from the last page this time. Certainly wouldn't be unusual for this series.

Then again, depending on their reaction, parents finding out about this might not be a bad development. But we'll see where it really goes from here...
