Hikaru participates in the preliminaries of the professional Go test. In this test, Inseis compete with each other to progress to the actual pro Go test.

Hikaru has to face opponents he has never played with before, including adults who are also attempting to pass the pro test.

Surprisingly, not even Hikaru's mother and grandfather fully understand what it means to be a professional Go player. It is interesting that in this volume, they express their astonishment upon learning that Hikaru aspires to become a professional Go player.

Hikaru is gradually taking one step after another, moving closer to finally standing in front of his opponent, 2 dan Toya Akira.

As he engages in these preliminary matches, Hikaru is constantly challenged and forced to adapt to different playing styles and strategies.

Each game is an opportunity for him to grow and improve, bringing him one step closer to achieving his dream of becoming a professional Go player.

Despite the difficulties and uncertainties that lie ahead, Hikaru remains determined and focused, ready to face whatever comes his way in the pursuit of his passion for Go.

や~~I also can't understand other people's strategies at all.

Go is a game. Just a game. Do people who play Go really use such a despicable strategy? I can't believe it. Destroying the opponent's spirit or shocking them, what kind of trick is that? Since I have a rather serious personality, I always do everything seriously. This way of doing things is strange.

As for other things... Doesn't Akira not look like when he was a child?

Pretty great board game manga!

It has a really good story that keeps you hooked from the very beginning. The plot is full of twists and turns, making it impossible to put down.

The art is also sweet and charming, bringing the characters and the board game world to life in a vivid way. The details in the illustrations are amazing, adding to the overall atmosphere of the manga.

Another awesome Shōnen so far! It combines the excitement of board games with the action and adventure of the Shōnen genre, creating a unique and engaging reading experience.

I highly recommend this manga to anyone who loves board games or Shōnen manga. It's definitely worth checking out!

The original article is not provided, so I can't rewrite and expand it specifically. However, I can give you a general example to show you how to do it.

**Original Article**: The cat is sleeping on the sofa. It looks very cute.

**Rewritten and Expanded Article**:
The little cat is peacefully sleeping on the soft sofa.

It is curled up in a ball, with its eyes closed tightly.

The fur on its body is smooth and shiny, and it seems to be enjoying the warmth and comfort of this moment.

Looking at it, one can't help but think how cute it is.

Its small nose twitches slightly from time to time, as if it is having a sweet dream.

It lies there motionless, like a little angel, bringing a touch of warmth and joy to the whole room.

F HOT
hng
vol. 8

This appears to be a rather cryptic and perhaps incomplete set of information. It could potentially refer to a specific issue or volume of a publication titled "F HOT" with the additional abbreviation "hng" and volume number 8.



However, without further context, it's difficult to provide a more detailed and comprehensive understanding. It might be related to a particular field, such as fashion, technology, or another area where such a title and volume system could be used.



Perhaps "hng" is an acronym or a code that has a specific meaning within the context of this publication. It could stand for a particular department, topic, or something else entirely.



In conclusion, while the given information provides some clues, more context is needed to fully understand the significance and content of "F HOT, hng, vol. 8".

The story now centers around the protest preliminaries. Hikaru must pass through the preliminaries, but he is astonished to find that he has to play against people older than him.

When he meets a terrifying guy who throws him off with some strange technique, he feels stressed. He is thrown off by this guy to such an extent that he loses two games in a row. Given that he has to win three out of five games, he is in a difficult situation.

This volume emphasizes the mental aspect of the game, which makes it more engaging. Although there is a side-story related to his mother (who is not very aware of what Hikaru does), most of the story focuses on how easily one's focus can be diverted and how the mental side of the game is as crucial as the skill. This aspect of the story was set up since the Honinbo title in the previous volume, but it is only now that we see it have an impact on Hikaru.

Sai becomes more or less a spectator. Although it is implied that Sai still trains Hikaru, this no longer seems significant. And while the growth of Hikaru is still not fully explained, it is fascinating to observe. I only wish I could witness those games he plays.

Hikaru discovers that there is not just one game being played at the go ban.

He realizes that there are other aspects and subtleties involved that he may not have fully grasped before.

It becomes clear to him that head games, which involve psychological tactics and mind games with opponents, are not his strong suit.

Hikaru starts to feel a bit out of his element as he faces this new realization.

He begins to wonder how he can improve in this area or if he should focus more on his own strengths and the traditional aspects of the game.

Despite this setback, Hikaru is determined to continue learning and growing as a go player, even if it means facing challenges that he may not be initially comfortable with.

He knows that in order to become a truly great player, he will have to overcome these obstacles and expand his understanding of the game.

Volume flows easily where nothing of significance happens:

The professional exam for young Insei is approaching and Hikaru must get used to playing against adults because he cannot afford to lose his calm and make blatant mistakes.

Hikaru, who has shown great potential in the world of Go, now faces a new challenge. The exam is a crucial step in his career, and he knows that he needs to perform at his best.

Playing against adults is not an easy task. They have more experience and a deeper understanding of the game. Hikaru has to learn to adapt to their playing styles and strategies.

To succeed in the exam, Hikaru must maintain his focus and composure. He cannot let the pressure get to him and make hasty decisions. He needs to think carefully before each move and analyze the situation on the board.

With hard work and determination, Hikaru is confident that he can pass the exam and take the next step in his journey as a Go player.

Hikaru takes part in the preliminaries of the professional Go test!

I am shocked that this has happened, and we are simply in the 8th volume of the series!

Hikaru plays against a ton of new opponents with a wide range of ages. Everyone has the same goal in mind: to get good enough to take and pass the pro test.

Hikaru starts to get a good look at what it means to be involved in the professional Go circuits and to be a pro!

This volume truly gives you both a taste of what it is to be a pro and also Hikaru's progression.

Kudos again to Yumi Hotta (writer), Takeshi Obata (artist) and Yukari Umezawa (pro advisor).

The preliminaries of the professional Go test are a crucial step for Hikaru. Facing a diverse group of opponents, he realizes the intensity and competitiveness of the professional Go world. Each game is a challenge, and Hikaru must constantly adapt and improve his skills. As he participates in these matches, he gains a deeper understanding of the strategies and techniques required to succeed as a professional Go player. The volume not only showcases Hikaru's growth but also provides readers with an exciting glimpse into the world of professional Go.
