Hikaru just got his own Goban
Chapter Synopsis and Notes with pics
As Hikaru plays Grandad. Sai looks back at his life and afterlife filled with Go.
I like that Sai has female Heian pupils even if this is a historical mistake.
I'm sad we never see Torajiro's face properly. In the new edition I think there might be pics though (anyone?)
Meanwhile Akari has been going to the community centre Go class and taming Mr Akota, the bully of a player who Hikaru 'de-wigged' in an earlier chapter. He's now resorted to a hat.
I like the way that Akari has got into Go on her own account independently of Hikaru and Sai and is also working to improve.
Although Hikaru doesnt win against Grandad...
Grandad has faith in his potential and buys him a real goban with feet
What with Hikaru and Sai's combined excitement I wonder how many gobans this chapter sold.
Meanwhile, Hikaru's Mom remains perplexed at the whole situation and her sons's strange behavior.
I wonder if she puts it all down to adolescence in the end.

I think there might be one other piece of official art--maybe one of the original covers?--with a cloth too, but I'm not sure what volume. Maybe Sai wasn't that young he was just young-hearted or something. Yeah, um. And he had long loose hair because...he had nice hair and wanted to show it off. Sure. Heh, we can dream up all kinds of reasons to explain the historical inaccuracies, can't we? Oh Hotta.
