My Rei is finally growing a spine. In this volume, see him take responsibility for what happened last volume and be more of an adult than the Kawamoto sisters' deadbeat father can be.
What makes for a great volume in this series is the balance of shogi and the Kawamoto family life with Rei. This volume has it in spades.

Acaba el arco del padre de las Kawamoto, al parecer... Y como Kiriyama quiere ver felices a las personas que quiere, entra en la búsqueda de un novio para Akari, quién lo diría!
Este tomo incluye un capítulo extra sobre la infancia de Rei, un spin off llamado "Fighter". Recomendamos, Chica Umino y yo, poner de fondo la canción homónima de BUMP OF CHICKEN.

Volume memorabile!
Finalmente quel mostro di padre ha levato le tende.
E poi lo scontro verbale tra Raido e Rei è stato decisamente il pezzo forte.
Rei è tanto calmo e riflessivo ma quando si incavola diventa una forza.
Infine una delle scene più dolci di tutto il manga: Rei e le sorelle Kawamoto che dormono assieme come una famiglia ♡

En verdad este es un gran manga acerca del trauma y me sentí muy mal en ciertas partes de este volumen, pero Umino es una genia y a la vez llena el corazón del lector de un calor difícil de describir.
Pero igual, qué triste...

Un volum carregat d'emocions a flor de pell, amb drama familiar i no tant de shogi com altres cops. L'obra continua amb força i ve de gust veure què passa després.

To jest naprawdę piękne. Chyba żadne słowa nie opiszą, jak bardzo ich wszystkich kocham. Proszę was serce mnie boli tak bardzo, ja tu potrafię na każdej stronie płakać.

あかりさんがよく頑張ったよね。
過去のあかりも今のあかりもすごく責任が取るの人だ。19歳でそう簡単に母親の役割を取って自分の妹を育ていて。立派だと思う。
私はだいたい両親がいいと思うが、その父は大人や人間の資格がないから、彼を追い出してもいいと思う。ももとひなは素晴らしい男の人の見本がある。お爺ちゃんはその役目ちゃんと表情しているから、この場合その父を拒否するのは良い判断だ。

Heart rending, lovable characters.

Beautiful, this story never fails to move me. I am not entirely happy with the sexism that’s portrayed now where the girls “have to marry to solve their problems” I get it’s Japanese culture some may want it but I hope in the end it’s just Rei’s wrong ideas and nothing happens. Because I do love the feel of them as a family but I don’t think marriage... uh They don’t love each other romantically, at all, and I think the idea of spending your favorite person even if it’s not sexual or romantic is nice and I won’t be angry if it happens but... I do not want them to force each other into that when, if they were ever going to have that kind of feelings for each other, they clearly don’t yet and pushing it with those expectations would not be good for them. I think they won’t just instantly fall in love, the fact that Hina’s unaware of the seriousness of it all gives me hope that it’s not just for the “aw, she’s so cute factor” but because when she gets it she’ll be like wtf.
Because Rei doesn’t mean bad he’s just being practical and I get it but that’s just not marriage or romantic relationships. He has more romantic chemistry with Kyouko and I could see that romance happening despite her toxicity much more. I think Rei and Hina’s marriage, happening like this, would maybe have some of them regret it. Yes they have been important to each other and support each other but they are not a couples they’re family. And I know Rei just wants to be part of the family but I mean, I don’t think he needs marriage to be, he already is. Like, I’d rather he married Akari, maybe it’s because Hina is a minor and so completely unaware it feels wrong and ancient. I’d be really sad if this series took a weird turn at the end that soured how much I love it, but I hold on to hope
Otherwise, everything is perfect. All the scenes, the characters I’m buying these and reading them in physical form and I am so sad I do not have the last volumes at my disposal because I want to know how it ends. It may hurt me. Like, I’m so worried about Akari, about Rei’s thinking, about what that father’s going to do and that little girl... It’s really not her fault. Oh my god. It’s great, it really is but I’m scared cause we’re nearing the end. Like THE END no more sangatsu —unless they make a third season, the stories would be the ones from the manga, but the anime is pretty strong and brings a lot to the already strong text and striking art
