Bakuman. 2

Moritaka and Akito are assigned a new manager named Miura after their decision to serialize their work. Initially skeptical, they receive encouragement from Hattori before he departs. Miura, though not overtly unkind, often comes off as rude and expresses concerns about their future. The pair is also given three assistants to help with their manuscript, with Ogawa, a seasoned assistant, proving especially helpful. Their progress continues smoothly. As the new year begins, both attend Shonen Jack's New Year Party, where they encounter Hiramaru Kazuya, described as a genius surpassing even Eiji.
