Haha this was a fun chapter when you read Bakuman.
I can imagine something like that, first TOC results are published (chapter 8) and the editor of Minea x Minea carpets Terukaki for the bad results, then forces him to change the concept of chapter 8.
Result:
main protagonist fights a big bad monster and the bad guy is introduced as a cliffhanger.
Hum…
Actually, this character was foreshadowed one chapter ago and the exam was obviously gonna be like this, and it has been foreshadowed for over 4 chapters ago.
I'm afraid this time, Bakuman didn't help you understand the creative process of Metallica Metalluca
