    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 178 - Path ~ Path ~ (1)

    Damn it... I wanted to see people's reactions to Nikaido going 'wryyyy!!!' But the chapter desync between the individual release and the volumes, and the fact that comments just stopped happening about two years ago.

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 176 - Winter Scent (3)

    I assume the chapters are going to be out of sync the whole way, now. But anyway, the chapter I actually read was really great, with Rei coming out of being totally absorbed in still studying the Nikaido-Shigeta match, then realizing he's out of food and a moment of 'what day is it?' and then...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 175 - Winter Scent (2)

    And the trend continues of the comments having nothing to do with what's in the chapter right now, which is a discussion between adults about figuring out how to afford a property that's about to be available, and refusing to let the kids that would totally get carried away hear about it...

    Sangatsu no Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 174 - Winter Scent (1)

    These comments are so out of whack with what the chapter actually is now. It seems like they were initially cut up into pieces, but now they've been joined together so this Shogi-centric chapter's comments are full of reactions to a chapter several numbers before this one. So damn weird!! I...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 173 - New Year (4)

    But... its 10 pages now... what happened back when this chapter was first released on here?! Last chapter, people were calling short, even though it was over 20 pages. I'm so confused! You know, I was thinking about how I have a thing for short girls... though they're generally short and...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 172 - New Year (3)

    I think she's had this maturity, she just didn't often express it. You can see hints of her contemplating the sweet shop business for awhile. I thought it was a foregone conclusion she was going to take over the shop when grandpa passed. Not Akari, but Hina. Hina has been more often to express...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 171 - New Year (2)

    Does a grade schooler have the conviction to stand up to bullies where a supposed 'adult' does not? Both her sister and her old homeroom teacher didn't have what it took, but she stood firm, despite everything. She also frequently thinks closer to her grandpa when it comes to the sweet shop...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 170 - New Year (1)

    As much as I'd personally prefer her, I have to admit that she is not, in fact, perfect. She has plenty of flaws where Hina excels, and at least one of those areas is why Rei fell for her and not Akari. Call attention to the night after she came home suffering the effects of the bullying, and...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 168 - December Rain (1)

    Not really- it's more of a random thing. Sometimes he can hear, sometimes he can't, and there's no apparent rhyme or reason. The Chairman/President called it intermittent hearing loss in the official anime translation, if I recall.

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 16 Ch. 167 - Winter Sound of a Bell

    Yep. Sounds like they're in good company. XD Just further reinforcement he's where he belongs. Yes, they are. The clues were there already, and I get the feeling that Umino-sensei has no intention of spelling it out any clearer. It was confirmed with her ordering for her future hubby...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 166 - Path (6)

    Shit... I was already getting 'married couple' vibes from them making those rice balls together previously. This just hammered it home, for me.

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 165 - Path (5)

    I also thought basically the same when they showed the glimpse of Rei and Hina making the rice balls together- I thought 'holy shit, they look like a legit married couple'. She feels like she's showing the maturity more in that instance, as well, and I think back to somebody complaining she...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 164 - Path (4)

    Plot armor? He's descending into darkness. That's not plot armor, to me. He may have won, but he's psychologically losing himself again. When he realized he likes Hina? That's going back pretty far, you know. I mean, even with the Family chapters with the shit father, he made it clear he was...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 163 - Path (3)

    Your comment about immaturity makes me think how there's been a person to claim that the relationship between Rei and Hina is imbalanced in terms of that very thing because they see Hina as still very much childish. I don't entirely agree with that assessment, probably because I see her...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 162 - Path (2)

    But this is a tournament entry match, not a rank placement match. I think the two are mutually exclusive. Someone else pointed this out, but figured I'd reiterate. As someone else pointed out, Rei is a 6-dan. He was 4-dan when he first became a pro, but that's the entrypoint for all pros, if I...

    What are you talking about? He's been using a cellphone since the beginning, and getting messages from the Kawamoto sisters the whole time.

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 158 - Azusa Number 1 (3)

    This makes me think of that diagram that showed Rei was actually thinking of more than just Shogi due to his brain just spinning through multiple threads at once, and he'd have thought processes for solving family/friend problems while also strategizing the board in front of him.

    The writer of the Shogi columns and the author of the comic are two different people. The author is a woman named Umino (she actually had a cameo in her own comic earlier, as the owner of a cosmetics store that adopted Money-sama the 3rd and started having get-togethers with other old ladies of...

    March Comes in Like a Lion - Vol. 15 Ch. 155 - On the Night the Stars Fall Upon (2)

    The problem is, this would, in all likelihood, appear in a season four. Season three would only cover up through around volume 13 (that is, that speed tournament where Harunobu collapsed at the end, and the funeral home scenes with Namerikawa and his brother), based on how many chapters were...

    Also worth noting that, far as I could tell, he stopped being her crush and more of a guy to admire that was also coincidentally a childhood friend by the time he moved away. I'm pretty sure by then Rei had already surpassed him in Hina's heart.
