A Souya chapter!? and with little talking which makes perfect sense given what we know about him. Assuming that is his mom, housekeeper & her son? That final grimace when it starts raining after the song explanation thou lol.
I loved this chapter. Like always with this mangaka, she masterfully used imagery to indicate how the character was experiencing things. When he was not able to hear, there were ripplings rings in water, like he is sinking into a quiet pond. But the morning after returning home, his hearing was functioning again, so the first page of that shows piano notes and bird tweets. A beautifully constructed chapter.
Souya was not a used with the raindrops 😂. What a nice silent chapter, not that I would like to have it in any other way. Finally, we get to see Souya out of his shogi persona and he seems to be lovely.
March comes in like a lion 169 came out in Japan today, so expect the chapter sometime this month or the beginning of April.
Also wanted to say keep up the amazing work to the scan team, you guys are beyond awesome👍
