Bakuman anime + chapter 78

The character design of upcoming Bakuman anime is revealed for the first time and they look totally awesome!!! ^O^ They look like they came right out of Obata-sensei's color pages. I'm sure this will be a great anime since they got the director of Honey & Clover with J.C. Staff involved.

...and as for chapter 78 of Bakuman manga...
I felt so bad for Mashiro and Takagi. I mean they want to end Tanto and the editorial department is not letting them since Tanto is getting kids' votes... (Marketing strategy, that's right...) ...and if they quit the series here, they have to leave the magazine...??? Oh geez, another cliffhanger end for this chapter. I doubt that Mashiro and Takagi will leave the magazine though...
