Outstanding, thanks a lot SCS!!!
Super awesome, thanks a lot for the new chapter Supreme Cream!!!
They're about to explode!
lol that grin looks a lot like chibimaruko style
But i dont think this is a comedy its not that significant. The drama tag covers it
Seriously, thanks much to Supreme Cream Scanlations for picking this up. It's a great series.
You think we can add a comedy tag? it does have comedic parts too it but I know it isn't an overall theme of it but still?
like so...
its got other parts like this is just one scene that jumped out to me
Tradition is one part of it, but those gender differences can be exploited, too. After all, a match is fought not only on the board, but between the players themselves. Now imagine you're playing a woman and want to throw her off balance. All you need to do is complain to somebody on the side about how she slyly chose her attire so that her boobs distract you but it's not obvious to anyone (from what I understood, you're allowed to talk during a match; at least nobody complained about talking), or even directly to her.
You know I've always wondered this but why is there gender separation in shogi. I mean i can understand separating genders in physical sports because of the physical differences between male and females but there should be no need in mental sports like shogi. The only reason I can think of is because of tradition.
Holy shit! Thanks a lot!
An UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! An update! Thank you Supreme Cream
woot new chapter!!!
