Sooo, how do you read those?
Jokes aside, while it's pretty easy to understand the record itself(it's a lot like chess after all), judging how good they are at this is comletely another matter.

Oh cool, so the author actually plans how each game of shogi goes, huh! I won't really try to understand how it works, but I appreciate it XD

 

[fifthtouch]

Thank but i still understand shit

 

[twinklecake]

My brain already photoshopped this into something else.

@fifthtouch
I cbf TLing all the game records mostly because all the kanji is available on the Wikipedia page for shogi, and the board itself demonstrates the notation.

Just make sure to read right to left, alternating between the top and bottom row, and it's fairly simple to DIY translate them.

 

[Kyujyu]

Wow didn't expect author to really show exactly how their game actually played out.
This would look good if they animate it while all the talking.

Thank you for the extras!

 

[bluethings]

need more of page 20

 

[ShimizuA]

I couldn't even understand/imagine chess notation, and then they written in kanji?

 

[black1210]

We are in the endgame now

 

[Rigardo]

That smug face.




HHHGGGRRRHHH!!

She's so damn cute. Meanwhile, the end bit where Harmless Monsters slinks away from the shogi notation topic was (a) funny and (b) I have to admit that's one of the most harmless looking monsters I've ever seen.

 

[zdarkbrz_816]

that last page... my thoughts exactly

 

[FiddlePop]

But do we have to?

Just because it's on a checkered board, do not assume that shogi is like chess. It's more like go where every piece has a dozen possible identities.

@princeofcups
Let me disagree with this one.
I'm not a master in any of three(but have some experience) and IMO shogi is much more closer to chess(bughouse variant, to be precise) than to go.

 

[caitsith]

Half of this manga is happening in these game records and I can't read it at all

 

[IanO]

Neat! This is more dedication to the actual game of shogi than seen in 3-gatsu no lion even. In a gag manga!

Check out the wikipedia article on shogi notation for how to read the kifu:
