Thanks to Hi Wa Mata Noboru for the new release.

Those first pages made me think about a person in a funeral, then the same person so immersed in their pain and grieve that they lost sight of what's happening around them, then one day feels like they wake and start to pay attention at what's happening around again and recognize all the people supporting and caring for them.

May this chapter starts a new phase in Umino-sensei life.

Leads me to believe that we're using sand as a theme for Shimada. Rei was drowning in the sea, Shouya was flying in the sky and Shimada is reaching to the sky by standing on sand.
In a way, Shimada is projecting his struggle towards his opponent. A situation where he has nothing to hold on as his foothold is disappearing bit by bit.

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!!! 💜💜💜

A short chapter, but the way it showed the terror of Shimada-kun from Rei's perspective was so gripping! Those two pages felt like a chapter in themselves. The "quiet resignation with something resembling anger" feels like it encapsulates so much of Shimada's life of stress and "not quite" success...
