Hikaru and Sai are being very single-minded about Hikaru's goal now (I think Sai is even starting to look like Hikaru) but sometimes things get complicated.

As Hikaru's game improves, he mesures himself against others. But there are also those who are curious about him.

lacygreyHi to all and a big thanks to rereaders of vols 1-4
I'm looking forward to re-discovering and discussing what happens next over the next fortnight. Volume 5 opens with Hikaru still on summer break and hanging out at the cybercafe, with the first chapter (35) wholly focused on the internet game between Akira and Sai.
I've been away fandom for quite a while because of a new job and recent exams so I'm taking the plunge back in by joining this reread.
When I see this volume again, I can't help but think how 'shippy' it is. I remember now that it wasn't until this point in the story that I started to understand how come there were so many slash fics and doujins about the series.
Technical point
All the pictures I'm embedding are scans I made of the French (Eds Tonkam) version, to which I added my own English translations using a mix of Photoshop Express and Photobucket Tools. I'd welcome any input from readers with English versions if my meaning is off as Im aware that what Im doing this adds a step away from the original version.

Jun. 21st, 2013 07:49 pmverloren1983Hi guys! Chapter 34 is the end of volume 4, so this is the end of the spamming, I promise. At least for today. ^_~ Again, same rules apply here as the last chapter- last minute pinch-hit job where I'm not commenting on everything I would like to, just the obvious stuff, apologies. No spoilers in the post, but do whatever you want in the comments. I've gotten some sleep now, but not a whole lot really plus I'm hungry, so the randomness/weirdness will probably not be any better. Sorry. XD
( Chapter 34 Under the Cut! )
We did it! Chapter 4 is COMPLETE, just in time! *panthuffpant* Seriously, though, it was fun looking over this and made me think about some stuff that I hadn't really before, so there's that. ^_^ Lacy will be your host as of tomorrow, so I'm officially done spamming you all. Have fun~ *bows*

Hikaru Reread volume 4; chapter 33
Jun. 21st, 2013 12:42 pmverloren1983Hi guys! Told you I'd be back with 33. ^_~ Same rules apply here as the last chapter- last minute pinch-hit job where I'm not commenting on everything I would like to, just the obvious stuff, apologies. Not really any spoilers in the post (a mention of a future character, but if you haven't read the manga/seen the anime, it won't make any sense whatsoever to you anyway), but do whatever you want in the comments. I've gotten some sleep now, but not a whole lot really, so the randomness/weirdness will probably not be any better. Sorry. XD
( Chapter 33 under the cut! )
And that's it for chapter 33! One more chapter today and then I'll be out of your hair, honest. :P

Hikaru Reread volume 4; chapter 32
Jun. 21st, 2013 06:48 amverloren1983Hi guys! Ver here filling in for emeloh in covering the rest of volume 4! Yes, even though I haven't, uh, actually been doing re-read with you guys. Whoops. Also since I just agreed to do this like... an hour ago and volume 5 starts tomorrow, this is a real rush job and I'm only going to touch on a little bit. I apologize in advance and people are obviously free to add whatever they want in the comments. XD I've also decided that it's best if I post the chapters individually- really, just to make sure I don't skip anything by accident in my haste/lack of sleep. Oh, I'm not doing spoiler stuff because I'm lazy (also last minute job, remember?). You guys are free to do whatever you want in comments, obviously. ANYWAY. Onward!
( Chapter 32 Under the Cut! )
Okay, that's it for chapter 32! I'll be back laterto make Qem regret being grateful with 33 once I get all my ducks in a row there and possibly get some sleep. Phew, even for a short quickie post, these are a lot of work. Props to the people that have been doing these already. >^_^<

Hikaru Reread volume 4; chapters 30 - 31
Jun. 21st, 2013 07:56 pmqem_chibatiSYNOPSIS
In another tournament, three members of the cutthroat Kaio Go Club face three members of the budding Haze Go Club. As tensions rise, the antagonism between both teams culminates in a telling match between Akira and Hikaru. Who will win? After the excitement of the tournament, there's nothing left for Hikaru and Kimihiro to do... except learn how to play more Go! In the process, Hikaru finds a way to let Sai play all the Go his fluttering heart desires without everybody pointing and staring at Hikaru.
( detailed summaries below )
Random thoughts;
It would be kind of hilarious to have a future fic with Akari picking out a cheater, and everyone saying "oh it must be because of her professional friend" but it's just because she remembers all the tricks Mitani taught her to look out for. XD
(I used RoT13 but use spoiler methods as you deam appropriate)
This is where it starts for Hikaru making Waya's life hell - what other ways has he done so? :3
Anyone else want to bitch about g3's with me? :3

Idle thoughts:
I'm actually kind of surprised I can't recall seeing Mitani/Kishimoto fic - anyone want to rectify that? :3
Hikaru certainly knows Mitani well now!
Important questions!
What nice men would you like to introduce Ichikawa to? (Xovers welcome! XD)

Reread: Volume 3, Games 23-25
Jun. 8th, 2013 05:11 pmchagrinedNO SPOILER POLICY HERE EITHER! There won't be spoilers in my post, but there may be in the comments. If people want to obscure spoilers in their own comments that's totally their own choice and they don't need to.
( THE END OF VOLUME 3! )
P.S. IT'S BEEN REAL Y'ALL! I had fun hosting this volume. :)

Jun. 5th, 2013 08:19 pmchagrinedNO SPOILER POLICY, SPOIL AWAY! I thought we were including a spoiler policy on all these posts, but since Qem clarified it's up to the person hosting, I will have no requirements any more. My posts will mainly focus on the story in this specific volume so there won't be major spoilers, and there are none at all in this post, but there may be spoilers in the comments. If you still choose to ROT13 or blackout spoilers in your comments, that's fine too.
( HELLOOOOOOOOO MITANI )

Reread: Volume 3, Overview + Games 17-18
May. 30th, 2013 07:02 amchagrinedOkay so I am resolving myself to there being no way my reread posts will be as gr8 as very's epic volume 2 posts. XD AND THAT'S OK.
Spoiler policy for my posts: Not gonna make a separate post for spoilers, just ROT13 them if you talk about future volumes. I use this Firefox add-on to convert to/from ROT13 easily. ETA: Or you can use html to make both the text and background black if you want! That works too. :)
( VOLUME 3 HERE WE GOOOOOO!! )
