As expected, Nikaidou won. This is setting up to be the "Rei's rematch arc" now that he has recovered. We get Rei vs Nikaidou first, this time hopefully both enjoying the match (I'm expecting some feels too) and then the one I'm most excited to see: Rei vs Shimada, this time with Rei fully...

The Kawamoto's won't let Rei buy it. Hell, they didn't even let him pay for his own food when visiting despite their limited finance. Even considering he's Hina's boyfriend now, I doubt Akari would let him buy an entire house. At best, they could accept his help in case things go the wrong...

How many chapters is Azusa planning to run? :P Damn I really hope this time we get to see a proper Kiriyama vs Nikaidou, it's going to be fun now that Kiriyama is way more positive and focused than before. Also seems like the perfect time for a rematch against Shimada.

These two are going to kill me eventually. Must have been a pain to translate page 5. Thanks again for the chapter!

@MasterLillyclaw I think this is all a metaphorical way to say that shogi was his 'ticket' to survive and escape reality, but now that he has found a fimily ('the warmth' he mentions), it ended up melting the 'ticket', in the sense that he has found a place he belongs to so he doesn't need to...

@jimmysuzuki Oh I see, it makes sense if you put it this way. Thanks!

I'm not sure I got what the third reason he's approaching the dark room faster is. Is it the fact that he panics when he can't solve his problems alone? If that's it, then why is he calling Hina "the third reason"? That's really confusing me.

@Vrizu I think you are forgetting about chapter 152. The screen you posted shows what Sensei & co. think about her after hearing her shipping Akari and Kiriyama, which was a reasonable thought, but It's not an absolute truth, just what they thought. In ch 152, Hina's friend tell her that it's...

Damn this one was worth the long wait, so sweet This is me when we have guests but I'm 26 and I have to work the day after.

Thanks 3gatsu for turning me into a master puzzler (does this word even exists?)

I'm convinced Rei does love shogi, I mean just think of his match vs the Meijin... sure he lied at first, but eventually he came to love it. He just need to shrug that feeling of guilt off himself. Maybe that's what we will see in the next chapters. Still, Umino sensei is doing wonders with the...

@Calixto Pretty sure he does like it. Like, remember when he had a game against the Meijin and almost got hit by a truck and Isekai'd when he was engrossed in the match records? I feel like that's something only someone into Shogi could feel. He may not be entirely aware of it, but I'm sure he...

In the real world there are example of prodigies winning titles even though they were younger than Rei (like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%8Dta_Fujii ). I don't see it happening here though, expecially not in the Lion King tournament... maybe a less important one.

Oh we are finally getting a Tanaka (mini?)-arc. I was actually looking forward to this guy. The way Azusa talked about him made me think he's nothing special, but this chapter we got to know he's actually trying pretty hard, to the point he changed his playstyle so late in the years to keep...

Azusa running away at the end kind of reminds me of Rei vs Shimada. I loved this guy, I hope we will se him again sometimes.
