{{quote|
** She gets better, later on, and sends Mashiro some of her songs on a disk.
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Azukyun" {{spoiler|and later "Abazureyun"- "Abazure" means "bitch" in Japanese- to people [[Yoko Oh No|angered by her relationship]] with Mashiro}}

{{quote|
'''Miyoshi''': I know. So let me hit you ten more times.
'''Takagi''': Eh?! What? You pack a punch like three guys together!!
'''Miyoshi''': I'm trained in karate and boxing. So I'll give you a discount. I'll hit you three more times and I'll feel better.
'''Takagi''': Uh... Uh... Okay!
'''Miyoshi''': And when I'm done, we'll start dating.
'''Takagi''': Eeeh?! What's that got to do with it?!
'''Miyoshi''': You said you liked me.
'''Takagi''': Just shut up and hit me!!! ''(she does so)'' }}
* [[The Pollyanna]]: In comparison to Mashiro and Takagi, at least. She's always the one with the best-case scenario in mind, and gets upset whenever Mashiro enters [[The Eeyore|Eeyore]] mode.

[[File:KawaguchiTaro_5628.jpg|frame]]
{{quote|
Moritaka's deceased uncle, who, like Moritaka, had hoped to marry his childhood love interest after becoming successful himself, but by the time he felt secure in his career, she was already married. After his first series ended, he was unable to follow up with another, and died from overworking himself while deep in debt. This caused Moritaka to abandon his desire to become a mangaka until he met Takagi, confessed to Miho and learned how hard his uncle had worked.

Line 198:
The author of Crow {{spoiler|and now Zombie Gun. He is also the artist for Natural}}. He sees Ashirogi Muto as his primary rivals. Unlike Takagi, who plans what he writes based on what he can do and what is popular, Eiji writes whatever comes to mind.
{{quote|
----
Tropes associated with Eiji:
Line 207:
* [[Country Mouse]]: Well, Aomori (the city in Hokkaido where he comes from) isn't exactly a small town, but it's pretty "country" compared to Tokyo - he even admitted to getting a bit off-put with the bustle of the big city (to the point he's actually afraid of taking the subway).
* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: Whenever he's asked to give an analysis on other manga, he's pretty spot-on, as when he predicted the result of the Golden Future Cup in Volume 4 (the one where Mashiro/Takagi, Fukuda and Aoki/Nakai competed together).
{{quote|
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Another part of his speech.

{{quote|
An assistant who has considerable experience drawing, but has been unable to get serialized for years. He also has the goal of getting a girlfriend, and is attracted to Aoki. {{spoiler|He ultimately alienates Aoki by offering to draw for her if she will be his girlfriend, turns Kato, another girl whom he's interested in, away from him after that comes to light, and loses his position as assistant after Takahama's series gets canceled. He ultimately decides to return home to Akita. However, he later comes back as Nanamine's new "super-assistant," until he was fired for accidentally driving away what remained of Nanamine's online correspondents. He is now Hiramaru's asisstant}}.
