Grâce à la bienveillance des personnes de son entourage, peu à peu, Rei commence à positiver sa vie de lycéen et sa vie de joueur professionnel de shôgi. Toutefois, un évènement vient assombrir le coeur joyeux de Hinata... Une histoire chaleureuse dans laquelle des personnes vont peu à peu retrouver ce qu'elles avaient perdu.
Chica Umino (Jap: 羽海野チカ) is a Japanese mangaka. Her real name is not disclosed, "Umino Chica" is a pen name.
She began work as a product designer and illustrator. Umino has a unique drawing style, listing Studio Ghibli amongst her influences, and her characters are remarkably well-developed.
Her most famous series to date is Hachimitsu to Clover (English name: Honey and Clover), a 'slice of life' manga series which debuted in 2000 in Shueisha's manga magazine, CUTiEcomic. The series won the Kodansha Manga Award in 2003 and was nominated for the Tezuka Culture Prize and an award from the Japan Media Arts Festival. It was also adapted into an animated television series in 2005, a live-action movie in 2006 and two individual live-action TV series in 2008.
Her ongoing recent series is Sangatsu no Lion (English name: March comes in like a lion), which began serialization in 2007. The series won several important prizes including: the Manga Taisho prize and Kodansha Manga Prize (general audience) in 2011, the Tezuka Osamushi Cultural Prize in 2014, and the Bunkacho Media Geijutsusai Manga bumon in 2021.
Umino has also provided the illustration for the 2009 anime series Eden of the East by Kenji Kamiyama, as well as 'Tobira o Akete' and the Glass Heart series, including 'Boukensha-tachi', 'Netsu no Shiro' and 'Love Way'.
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.
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.
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.
