There is a little twist for the trio of Shindo-Waya-Isumi.

Isumi's desperate face is so terrifying.

It seems that something unexpected has happened to them. Maybe there is a new challenge or obstacle that they have to overcome.

Their relationship might also be affected by this twist. Will they be able to work together and find a solution?

Only time will tell.

As for now, we can only wait and see how this story unfolds.

Perhaps this twist will bring out the best in each of them and lead to a more exciting and fulfilling adventure.

We can't help but be curious about what lies ahead for the trio of Shindo-Waya-Isumi.

In the protest, we have achieved some victories, and unfortunately, we have also suffered some losses. However, one positive aspect that has emerged is that people have started hyping up Hikaru.

Hikaru has become a topic of great interest and excitement among the protesters. Their actions and words have drawn attention to Hikaru, and this has led to a significant increase in the level of hype surrounding them.

Perhaps it is Hikaru's unique qualities or their role in the protest that has captured people's imaginations. Whatever the reason, the fact that they are being hyped up is a sign that they have made an impact and are being noticed.

As the protest continues, it will be interesting to see how the hype around Hikaru develops and whether it will have any further implications for the movement as a whole.

Awesome!


This is truly an amazing statement that reflects a sense of excitement and enthusiasm.


The mention of loving the detail implies a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of something. It shows that the person has taken the time to notice and value the intricacies.


And the fact that they now even want to start playing Go is really interesting. Go is a complex and strategic game that requires a great deal of skill and concentration.


This desire to start playing Go might have been sparked by the detailed description or the overall impression that was created.


It's wonderful to see such a positive reaction and the potential for a new interest or hobby to develop.


Perhaps this person will embark on a new journey of learning and discovery as they explore the world of Go.


Overall, it's a great example of how something can have a profound impact and inspire others.

In this tankobon, we accompany Hikaru Shindo as he navigates through the Pro Exam. It's an emotional roller coaster ride for him, with its share of ups, downs, and the occasional loop-de-loops. Surprisingly, the exam is not only tension-filled but also morally introspective, allowing us to witness Shindo's growth both on and off the goban.

Out of the twenty-seven games in the Pro Exam, this tankobon covers fifteen of them, bringing the grand total to twenty-one games (including six from the previous tankobon). Shindo has an impressive record of eighteen wins and three losses.

He lost his tenth game to Hiroshi Oshima, an outsider, due to not feeling well (this happened off screen). His thirteenth game was lost to fellow insei and friend, Yuta Fukui, as he couldn't move on from the previous game with Shinichiro Isumi. And he narrowly lost his seventeenth game to another fellow insei and friend, Toshinori Honda.

The other top four from the last tankobon have the following records: Isumi at 17-4, Yoshitaka Waya at 19-2, and Kousuke Ochi leading the board with 20-1, having only lost to Isumi. With just six more games to play and three pro spots up for grabs, it's too close to determine the victors.

Running parallel to the Pro Exam story is the one between Ochi and Akira Toya. Ochi's wealthy grandfather hired Toya to tutor Ochi, a common practice among Pro Go Players. Ochi admires Toya and hopes to be seen as a potential rival and equal, but he soon realizes that Toya's only concern is Shindo. Toya has an ulterior motive as well; he's using Ochi as a proxy to gauge Shindo's strength on the goban. Let's just say their relationship isn't exactly courteous or friendly.

To prove to Ochi that he should take Shindo seriously, despite what he's heard about Shindo's strength during the Pro Exam, Toya shows him Shindo's game with Hon Suyon (from tankobon 9). Toya's School Go Club Adviser witnessed the match and shared the kifu (record) with him. Later, to further emphasize that Ochi should be cautious of Shindo, Toya shows him the second game he played with Shindo (or rather Sai through Shindo), which really scares Ochi.

All in all, this tankobon is filled with dramatic tension, and there's a promise of more drama and pressure to come, as the very last match that Shindo has to play in his Pro Exam is against Ochi. I'm eagerly anticipating reading the next tankobon.

vol. 10

F HOT is an interesting topic. It could refer to a variety of things, such as a hot trend, a hot issue, or a hot product. The abbreviation "hng" might stand for something specific within the context of F HOT. Maybe it's the name of a company, a brand, or a concept. Volume 10 could indicate that this is the tenth installment or edition of something related to F HOT. It makes one wonder what kind of content or information is included in this volume. Is it filled with the latest news, analysis, or opinions about F HOT? Or perhaps it contains exclusive interviews, case studies, or practical tips. Without further context, it's difficult to say for sure, but it definitely piques the curiosity and makes one eager to learn more about F HOT and what volume 10 has to offer.

This story is like comfort food for me.

I just can't quite put my finger on what exactly it is that keeps me coming back to reread or rewatch it, along with the anime.

However, my interest in Go definitely plays a significant role.

The game of Go is so complex and fascinating, and it adds an extra layer of depth to the story.

Moreover, I really like that it's a generally positive story about the journey of getting good at something.

It shows the determination, hard work, and growth of the characters as they strive to improve their skills in Go.

This aspect of the story is truly inspiring and makes me believe that with perseverance, anyone can achieve great things.

Overall, this story and the anime have a special place in my heart, and I will continue to enjoy them for a long time to come.

Akira's psychological deviation is a concerning issue.

His actions and behaviors seem to be driven by an inner turmoil that is not easily understood.

Perhaps it is due to past experiences or unresolved conflicts that have led to this state of mind.

It is important to address this psychological imbalance before it causes more harm to himself and those around him.

Therapy and counseling could be beneficial in helping Akira understand his emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

With the right support and guidance, he may be able to overcome his psychological challenges and lead a more fulfilling life.

It is essential that we take notice of such signs and offer the necessary help to those who are in need.

By doing so, we can make a positive difference in their lives and prevent potential tragedies from occurring.

Let us not ignore the importance of mental health and work towards creating a more understanding and inclusive society.

I am getting really quite interested in the pro exam story arc once more.

There are certain aspects within it that remain truly captivating.

Some of the absolute best parts still have a connection to Sai's presence in Hikaru's life.

It is truly unfortunate that as Hikaru becomes stronger, there is a lot less of Sai.

However, the influence that Sai has had on Hikaru is still palpable.

Their relationship and the moments they shared have left a lasting impact.

Even with Sai's reduced appearance, his significance in the story cannot be overlooked.

The pro exam story arc continues to unfold, and I am eager to see how it all progresses.

Will there be more appearances from Sai?

Or will Hikaru have to rely solely on his own skills and growth?

These questions keep me engaged and excited to see what lies ahead.

I was fully prepared to rate this volume three stars. However, something occurred on page 86 that made my heart race.

Another aspect that I truly appreciate about this volume is the glimpse it provides into the financial circumstances of some of these players. For instance, some of them have to bear travel and hotel expenses, and even had to give up their jobs to be here for two months. Consequently, when some of them lose, it is truly heart-wrenching. One wishes that everyone could fulfill their dreams of becoming a professional go player, but unfortunately, that is not always feasible.

The story takes an unexpected turn on page 86, which adds an element of excitement and suspense. It makes the reader more engaged and eager to know what will happen next.

The details about the financial background of the players humanize them and make the reader empathize with their struggles. It shows that being a professional go player is not just about the game, but also about the sacrifices and challenges they face in their personal lives.

Overall, this volume has both its strengths and weaknesses. While the incident on page 86 is a major highlight, the insights into the players' financial situations add depth and complexity to the story. It makes the reader reflect on the harsh realities of pursuing a dream in a competitive field.
