It isn't a fan thing. Christmas Cake is a general Japanese view.

I wonder if the following events will give a deconstruction to the whole promise between Mashiro and Azuki.

[up]I too look for it, to no success. The closer I got is Fat Bastard and Villainous Glutton, but I don't think it is quite the same thing.

We'll stick to Fat Bastard, just to be safe because I smell and see an incoming troll with that guy.

This is gonna get heavy.

Sorry to ask, but for the life of me I can't seem to remember who the new Fat Bastard is. Can someone give me a refresher?

Ahh... No wonder I forgot about him. He wasn't exactly important. (Plus he reminds me of someone I really dislike)

I think he appeared again at some latter chapter as well. But, yeah, not important at all.

Wow, that fella's really let himself go since the last time he showed up. Apparently his talent for drawing cutesy girl faces only carried him so far, and he didn't have a backup plan.

It'd be amusing if his mother and Nakai's mom are both in an online support group for parents of useless layabouts. (Nakai's Mom: "At least he's out of the house now!")

He could be used as a wakeup call for Nakai or the author of "Real Human".

Also intrigued by the mentions of the other shows Miho is in or could audition for. Nice to see she's doing well as the Cute Sports Manager in "Impromptu Eleven" (which seems to be about a cobbled-together, low budget soccer team.)

[up][up] - His second appearance was when Aoki needed to learn how to draw panty shots, and Aoki went to him for help before getting smacked by Fukuda. The anime just recently animated hat.

Impromptu 12 is obvious Inazuma 11 in Bakuman, but I am not sure why they change their name. They don't normally do that.

Between those two instances, he showed up very briefly when our protagonists entered college, and briefly considered joining the manga club, only to find this fella already there and bragging about being a professional mangaka. (He had a 4-koma series in a low-circulation magazine, as I recall—Ashirogi Mutou weren't impressed.)

I suspect that revenge won't be far off his mind, especially since he remembers Ashirogi Muto.

I think the extra poundage is to indicate that wossname has been doing nothing worthwhile since last we saw him. Just like Nakai bulked up during his absence. It makes me fear for the kid with the dog.

[up][up]I understand the reason behind his enlargement. It doesn't change the fact it rubs off the wrong way. Specially because managaka are likely not much better anyway, physically. The work at home with minimal exercise. Even if he was doing something worthwhile in his profession, it still likely he would end that way.

Well, I've noticed that in this manga, mangaka are pretty slim, which might not be too far from the truth since they don't feel like they have time to eat since they have to do names weekly, get them approved, then quickly editing from there, which seems easier said than done since editors are kinda fickle.

Plus, food and water getting on a name is horrible...

I have to admit, it will feel really frustrating if Azuki gets her big chance blown apart by that damn turd. Not necessarily in a bad way, but still....

Somehow I doubt it will turn out to be a win for him—more likely our protagonists will use "make our manga better" to defeat his plot. Somehow.

No, I believe fat shit does not have an evil plan. He's just a troll. Actually, I think for once, I am actually CARING about Mashiro and Azuki, hence why I am on edge about what may happen.

I think he does. He seems to hate Azuki for some reason (and probably dislikes our heroes as well), and he probably has some good info on her for the sake of dirt-throwing. He has just received information that Mashiro has a girlfriend that also happens to be a voice actress working close to whats-her-name his idol.

It think he's going put two and two together, and reveal Azuki's and Mashiro's relationship, pretty much destroying Azuki's career.
