Yumi Hotta (堀田 由美 Hotta Yumi, most often written as ほった ゆみ) is a Japanese mangaka, best known as the author of the best-selling manga and anime series Hikaru no Go, about the game of go that is widely credited for the recent boom of the game in Japan. The idea behind Hikaru no Go began when Yumi Hotta played a pick-up game of go with her father-in-law. She thought that it might be fun to create a manga based on this traditional board game, and began the work under the title of Nine Stars (九つの星 Kokonotsu no Hoshi), named for the nine "star points" on a go board. She later worked with Takeshi Obata (the illustrator) and Yukari Umezawa (5-Dan, the supervisor) in the creation of Hikaru no Go. She won the 2000 Shogakukan Manga Award and the 2003 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Hikaru no Go.

At last, the long-awaited battle between Shindo and Touya has arrived.

The anticipation in the air is palpable as the two opponents stand face to face, ready to showcase their skills and determination.

Shindo, with his unique playing style and unwavering focus, is determined to prove himself.

Touya, on the other hand, is a formidable adversary, known for his strategic thinking and precise moves.

As the game begins, the tension builds with each passing moment.

Both players are cautious at first, sizing each other up and looking for an opening.

But as the game progresses, the pace quickens, and the competition becomes fierce.

The audience watches in awe as Shindo and Touya exchange blows, each one striving to gain the upper hand.

Will Shindo be able to overcome Touya's defenses and emerge victorious? Or will Touya's experience and skill prove to be too much for his opponent?

Only time will tell as the battle between Shindo and Touya unfolds before our eyes.

This is truly getting better and better.

It has everything that one could ever hope for from a series.

Gah! Watching Hikaru and Akira play was so intense.

The moment when Akira sensed who Sai was gave me goosebumps.

It was truly thrilling.

And Hikaru's dream in the end was equally amazing.

Actually, that one almost made me cry.

It was so touching and beautiful.

This series is full of such wonderful stuff that keeps pulling me in and making me eager to watch more.

It's like a magical world that I can't get enough of.

Every episode brings new surprises and emotions, and I'm completely hooked.

I can't wait to see what else this series has in store for me.

This is probably the point in the series,

where the phrase "Too bad it didn't end here" seems to be the most apt.

It's here where all the major threads of this series seem to resolve itself nicely: Sai's disappearance, Shindo's maturity, and Shindo's rivalry with Toya.

But I guess, in the end, if a series were to end at their natural potential, then publishers wouldn't be able to sell as many volumes as they'd like.

Unfortunately, it's as if this volume was filled with unnecessary 'padding', that really had nothing to do with the main plot of the series.

Most were of the same theme of "the next generation" which segued to the buildup for the next (and final) arc of the series, the Junior Cup.

It's a shame really, because up until this point, the story had been so engaging and well-developed.

The characters had grown and changed in such interesting ways, and the plot had been full of twists and turns.

But now, it feels like the author is just trying to stretch out the story for the sake of selling more volumes.

I hope that the final arc of the series will be able to bring everything together in a satisfying way and not disappoint fans who have been following the story for so long.

**Title: 4 Stars**

The concept of 4 stars holds significant meaning in various aspects of our lives. In the world of reviews and ratings, 4 stars is often considered a very good score. It indicates that a product, service, or experience has met a high standard and has many positive qualities. For example, a 4-star hotel offers comfortable accommodations, excellent service, and a range of amenities. A 4-star restaurant serves delicious food, has a pleasant atmosphere, and provides good value for money.



However, 4 stars is not perfect. It leaves room for improvement and shows that there are still some areas that could be enhanced. This could be something as small as a minor flaw in a product or a slight delay in service. But overall, a 4-star rating is a great achievement and something to be proud of.



In conclusion, 4 stars is a symbol of quality and excellence. It represents a balance between meeting expectations and having the potential for further growth and development. Whether it's a business striving for a high rating or a consumer looking for a great experience, 4 stars is a goal worth aiming for.

Oof! Hotta-Sensei is truly not holding back in the last volumes.

It's amazing how deeply I feel connected to these characters.

I'm extremely proud of Hikaru for summoning the courage within himself to start playing again.

And it makes me so happy that finally, after all this time, everyone is acknowledging him as Akira's rival.

Even though I still have a little ways to go in reading, I just can't help but wonder how this manga will come to an end.

Will there be a final showdown between Hikaru and Akira?

Or will there be some unexpected twists and turns that I haven't even imagined?

The anticipation is killing me!

I can't wait to see how the story unfolds and what the future holds for these beloved characters.

No matter what happens, I'm sure it's going to be an unforgettable ending.

Hikaru's comeback and his big duel with Touya is truly a remarkable event.

It seems as if this could potentially be the ending of the story. The anticipation and excitement surrounding this encounter are palpable.

Hikaru has worked hard to reach this point, and his determination is evident.

Touya, on the other hand, is a formidable opponent, known for his skill and strategic thinking.

The outcome of this duel is anyone's guess, and it will surely have a significant impact on both of their lives.

However, despite the excitement of this moment, the stuff with Sai still leaves a bitter taste.

Sai's departure was a difficult pill to swallow for many fans, and his presence is still deeply missed.

Nonetheless, Hikaru's journey continues, and this duel with Touya is just another chapter in his story.

We can only wait and see what the future holds for Hikaru and how he will fare in this crucial battle.

EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. IN. CHAPTER 148. MAKES. ME. CRY.


The go you play is your everything.


It will never change, and that's okay.


Maybe I'll talk to you about it someday.


When it disappears, what kind of feeling will it be? It would be nice if you were smiling.


QAQ


I CAN'T SPEAK JAPANESE BUT U BET UR ASS I CAN RECITE HIKARU NO GO CHAPTER 148 TO YOU WORD FOR WORD.


This chapter holds such deep emotions that it brings tears to my eyes with each word. The connection between the character and the game of go is so profound, as if it defines their very essence. The idea that something can be so important and unchanging in a person's life is both beautiful and bittersweet. The thought of one day losing that connection and wondering how it will feel adds an extra layer of poignancy. And although I don't understand Japanese, my ability to recite this chapter word for word shows just how much it has touched me.
