Bakuman - S02E02: Anthology and Photobook

Mashiro and Takagi get to know their new assistants, while Azuki struggles with her decision to do an ecchi photo shoot which will boost her popularity a lot. When Mashiro receives an e-mail from Azuki, he is left shocked by what she's decided; if he's okay with it, she wants him to see her naked first so he won't mind if photos of her in a swimsuit are taken. Worried, Mashiro neglects his storyboard to go visit her and talk things through. Takagi calls her and explains what's happening. Shocked to hear what Mashiro is about to do, she finally contacts him to talk about it and he tells her he doesn't want her to do the photo shoot. They decide to go to the beach some day and take photos themselves.
