Let's Five! 2013 Edition

[verys]

It's May 5th, which can mean only one thing... Cinco de Mayo? Pfft! Children's Day? Bah! Happy HikaGo Day, everyone!

Suggested by Hotta Yumi herself and first executed by Aja, HikaGo Day is an opportunity for us to roll around in our feels and remember why we love this series so much.

Five HikaGo events that occurred on or around May 5th:

1. In 1829, Kuwabara Torajirou (Hon'inbou Shuusaku) was born (according to the old lunar calendar that was in use during his lifetime)
2. In 1999, it was about this time that Akari caught Mitani drawing in the correct answer to the tsumego on the Haze go club's recruitment poster
3. In 2000, Hikaru had just been promoted to 16th in insei group 1, barely in time to participate in the Wakajishi tournament
4. In 2001, Sai disappeared and Hikaru began his quest to find him again
5. In 2002, Hikaru and the rest of Team Japan faced Ko Yeongha and the rest of Team Korea in the Hokuto Cup

Five ways you can celebrate Hikaru no Go:

1. Sign up to participate in the epic manga reread that will be going on all through the year!
2. Pop in a DVD or pull out your fansubs and rewatch the anime!
3. Leave a prompt or a fill on the current kinkmeme!
4. Come hang out in the community chatroom!
5. Join in with your own set of five below!

Re: Five most likely romantic partners of Hikaru in the unlikely case that Akira Touya is straight

[(Anonymous)]

1. Akari - She doesn't always understand him, but she'll always be there for him.
2. Waya - he doesn't know why! Ok! He just can't leave that guy alone.
3. Yashiro - having never met Hikaru during his awkward adolescence, he thinks Hikaru's pretty rad and hot.
4. Mitani - they make up! And make out.
5. Someone we haven't met yet. But has the sparkliest purple eyes!

YES I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS THIS UP ABOUT YASHIRO yeah like he just assumes everyone knows Shindou's hot because yeah looking pretty good and he's super great at go and he's got a winning personality and then Waya just stares at Yashiro and is like so what do they put in the water in Osaka anyway you freak?
