Reviews

[Nicolo · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well balanced volume of shogi and Rei's interaction with the three sisters. The author is doing a great job of characterization here. Rei is getting some progress on finally making good memories of high school. It's not the just the scent of roses but thorns as well. I can't believe someone would make Hina cry, that smile should be protected.

Tomo donde da comienzo la historia de bullying escolar que vive Hina, de cómo con una sola frase salva a Kiriyama, y cómo éste cambia su actitud ante el shogi, y va abriéndose al mundo en general. Es realmente bueno.

Non credevo che avrei mai scritto una cosa del genere, ma... i numeri che preferisco sono quelli con più dolcetti e meno shogi. Aspetto con pazienza più dolcetti.

Bully arc started…

[Andrea Itziar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un tomo algo más flojo que los anteriores porque se centra demasiado en el shōgi pero, esta vez, sin desarrollar mucho más otros aspectos. No le puedo dar más de 4 estrellas por eso y es una pena porque en este tomo empieza el arco de Hina que en el anime me pareció ESPECTACULAR.

En relación a la calidad de la edición: el primer capítulo venía literalmente del revés y a lo largo del tomo había marcas de tinta que indican que la página contigua no estaba completamente seca. Espero que solo haya sido cosa de este tomo porque creo que, para el precio que tiene, bien merece un acabado limpio y correcto.

Tiene menos chicha que los anteriores, pero se ven cambios en Rei y en la dirección de la historia.

[Nikoletta (nikisjournal)]

Imponuje mi za każdym razem, ile treści zawiera w sobie każdy tomik Marcowego lwa. Zdecydowanie nie jest to strata pieniędzy.

[Léa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Si doux et beau. Le shogi, le sport, la solitude,… l’histoire est toujours chaleureuse, et nos personnages se réparent peu à peu.

Me cambió la vida

Not only this manga gives some shogi and japanese cuisine tidbits, now gives some chemistry tidbits too (>▽<)

[Armando Hernández · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume was nice it talks about the bully and how Rei will do all in his capacity to help Hina and the way Hina acted was awesome. Of course we still have lot of shougi.
