Ep. 15: Seven weeks remain before CROW ends as editors and authors strategize to surpass Nizuma's lead.
With only seven weeks left until the conclusion of CROW, Yujiro reveals Nizuma’s ultimatum to the editing department, prompting them to support their authors. Fukuda introduces a new character in Road Racer Giri, while Takahama launches a new arc for Mikata's Justice using cover spreads. Ashirogi Muto leverages PCP’s unconventional nature by introducing the anti-heroic character Sigma. Although CROW remains first, Road Racer Giri and Mikata's Justice place second in consecutive weeks, narrowing the voting gap. Hattori secures a colored centered page for Ashirogi Muto in the 36th issue of Shonen Jack. The duo devises a plan to embed a hidden message within this page, visible only after readers finish the chapter, thereby challenging CROW directly.
