Ahhh, I love everyone in this chapter!! Everyone!! Look at Tsutsui’s face when he wins!! It is so adorable! And it is so sweet that the first thing he does is to try and tell Kaga because he is so proud. They have the cutest relationship!
This is also the chapter when I really, really started to love Akira. He sees the guy who basically crushed his self-confidence play an awesome game. But instead of just running away or getting angry again he just loves go so much he runs towards it. It takes a very special courage so it makes me really happy. And Hikaru is really starting to get impressed by that dedication (and spoiled by the attention). Epic destiny <3
Kaga is really weirdly understanding of Hikaru and Akira. This is the guy who tore up a book because Touya Akira pissed him off so much and now he is all calm and smirking. Well, I guess Hikaru making his fanboy face is really hard not to smirk at, but still. I would really want to know what the heck Kaga is thinking here. Personally I sort of chose to believe that seeing Akira again made Kaga realize that he totally has gotten over his past and just wants to go and play shogi!
Also, now the period when Hikaru and Akira dramatically say each other’s names with exclamation points really begins. Someone should make a drinking game but I am pretty sure they’d die.
