SHIMADAAAAAAAAAAA

Aaaaaaaah truly he’s my favorite character. So glad to have been spoiled with so many chapter from his POV.

Thank you to the scanlators for the beautiful work as always, the introspective monologues are always so easy to read while remaining wonderfully atmospheric ^^ Not to mention the way the sound effects are so perfectly done, ahh the redraws are so crisp and seamless even though they’ve gotta be a pain!! Thanks for your hard work, it’s truly appreciated!!!!

"a quiet demon that was throwing his life onto the board like it was nothing" / "the lyrics are quite sad, aren't they?" she said.

That would be around the end of chapter 16 when she first appears "physically"

dawg this is gonna kill me i love both of them so much but only one of them can win and there's no way a draw is going to happen...

 

[Ivanexo]

A new chapter so soon? I guess Chika wants to end this match fast

Love stuff about Shimada's hometown resurfacing at this moment, those were some of the most moving parts of the series for me. I wish him the best, but I feel like he's throwing up so many "lose flags" at this point. Going for the killing blow right when Kiriyama feels like he's freed up his position? That seems like a bad combination for our guy...

I agree, but remember Shimida has a time penalty for being late. He's probably running out of time to win.

Good point, I do think that will have to pay some sort of role... at the same time, I'd be sad if Shimada just lost due to time, it wouldn't feel as satisfying for Kiriyama.

There was a photo from the recent chess world championship where Ivanchuk and Naroditsky were clutching their heads in shame because Ivanchuk had lost due to running out the clock despite being in the winning position. I don't think most pros ever feel good by winning on time.

Ce manga est un pure bijou

Isn't this why the site tracks which chapters we've viewed and which ones we haven't? So we can find our place even after taking a long break? Just have to make sure you're signed into the actual mangadex site, I would imagine (the forums use a separate login).

Anyway, I agree with one of the others- just restart. That's so close to the start of the story, it's kind of moot, and might as well get better acquainted with the context by reading back several chapters.

---

Continuing with my 'PSA announcements', Volume 18 (whenever it will come) will change the numbering of these 'no volume' chapters at the end, just as has happened with prior Volumes. The overlap is around 7 chapters. People can double-check this by looking at the last 7 chapters of Volume 17 and comparing them to the first 7 'No Volume' chapters after Volume 17 as of this posting. The content should be repeated. Come Volume 18, the content of this chapter will shift to where it belongs in Volume 18, while the entry for this chapter will shift to whatever will belong in this chapter for Volume 18. The comments will not change, so they will be associated with the wrong chapter content come that time, sadly.

I've been feeling like the reason why we haven't had Kiriyama's perspective up until now is that he has actually been far more in control than he seemed from outside. And, to be honest, I kinda think this sudden peek into his psyche here kinda reinforces that perspective. It's like he can see Shimada is overextending himself to strike a desperate win, in my eyes, but nobody else can see it. Because nobody else is as gifted as Rei.

I fear that Shimada fooled himself into thinking he could beat Rei by thinking he was 'a normal human' he can beat when the boy left his house after the last study group session.
