I like the subtle worldbuilding of having pro cards of characters from various Sakiverse series all together~

I like how much they're dwelling on this, how excruciating they're making it. It's gonna make it all the more tense when we see him on the links, trying to struggle past the pro test... we know what sort of hell he's returning to if he fails!

Another great chapter! I'm glad we're spending so much time on this game where his hockey technique is so wacky... presumably, by the time he plays again, he'll have learned the fundamentals (if he's interested...) Also really interested in his backstory, reminds me a bit of Sangatsu no Lion

Just like the original series, everything is building up to a big brawl as the climax. Can't wait to see Kurosawa kick this dude's ass! That page of him as a "true vagabond" is an instant classic.

Maybe when he shouted stop, he displayed some sort of rare quality that allows him to control the golems? Cause the ranking guy seemed surprised that the golem was stopped and he didn't seem to be able to restart it. Maybe some sort of kingly genetics? Really love the fight scene choreography...

I liked the very meditative scene with him seeing the chairman cloud, then seeing it drift way... so poetic

Oooh, thank you for the analysis, really good catch! Maybe it's also to put the direct hit mark on Nishikata? And then next round he's gonna have a devastating ron against him?

What a rare treat! Even though I read like 20 such 4koma slice of life series, there's none that quite capture the charm of HidaSketch <3

oh true, that's a good point. 90s or early 2000s, either way granny may not get what working on the internet means.

Big fan of the chairman, what a good dude. Nikaido will make him proud one day!!

Happy that our MC isn't just magically instantly good. Really focusing on how awkward it is to try to use figure skating techniques to play hockey is gonna make it all the more satisfying when he puts it all together.

Thank you for another lovely chapter! I love how this series doesn't just "one and done" its character developments. Nacchan decided she wanted to do meaningless things, but deciding you don't care isn't so simple. It's a lesson she really has to learn the hard way, maybe a couple times.

Not just 2600... what could they mean by that? Do they mean in terms of what it represents for their strategy, like Da Wan is holding all of their winning tiles or something? It does seem like Da Wan needed some time to settle into the game and get aligned to their strategy, plus the fact that...

Just as a quick note, on page 5, the Carnegie they're referring to is Dale Carnegie, the author of the famous book "How to Win Friends and Influence People", which is the one pictured on the desk. It's the type of book a sycophant like Ebitani would recommend.

Another interesting twist! Still don't know what to think of the rankings guy. At first he was seeming awfully sus, but then whatever the shadowy figures he represents said to Ouken convinced him that they were OK? So the whole rankings system is OK too? Is he just a neutral party seeking the...

Thanks for picking this up from this point! Crazy chapter. I love how radically this series can shift tone based on the theme of the game. Suddenly we were in the mode of Fukumoto or something.

Hiking in Japan is all about the gigantic flight of 300 stairs right at the end...

I know that the arc has to end with Yukishiro being absolved and the other two being exposed, but the fact that the author can only come up with this route to that end is very telling, I think.

I still feel like Koinosuke will weasel his way out of this too, somehow... "He was just acting like that to give you ladies permission to be concerned! He sacrificed his very dignity to give validity to your feelings!!!" or something. I just wanna see Kurosawa punch him right in the jaw.

Fun chapter! I like when they play with the format like this. The ending was so ominous too... after a fun comfy chapter we need to be reminded that Teiai doesn't mess around...
