Ughhh, loved seeing Shimada-dan from Rei’s POV—such an interesting analysis of his playstyle!! Truly the hard worker type 😍 I get why he’s the kind of player other shogi players admire and respect. 💯💙
Seeing him like this, I really feel the influence he’s had on Rei, but also the ways that Rei has grown!! Even if he’s also still keeping up that ‘thinks about shogi so hard he goes into a fugue state’ mode 🤣 Glad he’s got a place to go and a way to snap out of it now 💖
Wonder what the fam has got planned, they’re being waaaay too suspicious 👀👀
Thanks for another great translation, Hi Wa Mata Noboru!!! 💜💜💜
