Hoshizora no Karasu

[sedition]

According to mangaupdates, this manga has like 10 chapters already translated, I tried going to the tumblr page of the translation group and got auto directed to a virus page. Could anyone try to get the rest of the chapters?

@sedition Unless I found the wrong site ( http://papermoonwosagashite.tumblr.com/tagged/hoshizora-no%20karasu/chrono ), chapter 4-11 are in pdf format (and saved in dropbox)? I didn't get redirected, but I have adblock and script-block, so...

Edit: Träumerei Scans said they will release 4-11, thank you!

 

[sedition]

@Potkeny thank you for looking further into this, I'm looking forward to reading more.

This is quite interesting so far. Oh, sure, as manga about people playing board games go it's no 3-gatsu no Lion, but then that one is a work of staggering genius by the ludicrously talented Umino Chica so it's not really a fair comparison. This is nicely done; I like the girl, and it gives you a good illusion of getting what's going on in the game.

I can't stop comparing this to Hikaru no Go. I'm sure the manga is actually fine but...

Damn.

 

[saenahonce]

Reminds me of chihayafuru

 

[ichypa]

Wait, its already over?

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

Can't help but this reminds me of March Comes in Like a Lion. Is this as good as that?

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN No. But that's a reallllly high bar; it's pretty good.

@Purplelibraryguy I really have no idea how good the shogi is in 3-gatsu, but as a go player, this one seems a bit weird at times. Not crazy "I'm gonna steal third base and score a touchdown on the wicket" level of bullshit, but more like the author has a decent grasp on go (probably better than mine, tbh, I'm just a random 1 kyu) but forces symbolism way too hard, for example the whole "I'm gonna capture everything" vs. "no stone left behind". I mean, both tendencies exist, especially in young amateurs, and the author does justice to the individuality and expressiveness that go can have, but I never felt like 3-gatsu had to clobber you over the head with in-game metaphors to get the characters across.

With that in mind, though, as you said not everyone can be Umino Chica and this is still pretty good. And, I mean, I'm still reading crap like "Reincarnated at lvl1 as an omniscient loli garbage compactor", so it can only be a step up.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@veuvecolonelmachin Oo, omniscient loli garbage compactor, haven't seen that one yet--sounds better than average for the genre, I should hunt it up!

(Side note: Man, the emoji on Mangadex suck so bad I like the typed version better)

Always worth it to come to the comments. 😂
