It looks lighthearted, but it's actually deep. And the characters are really lovely~! (The cats are hilarious!!) I can't help but to feel sad for some instances, but ultimately smile at the heartwarming scenes. It's just bittersweet. Gah!! My feelings... it's complicated.

I really hope to see more of this manga!!
cute drawings.
:3
It's funny that something with this quality has so few chapters compared to what was already released, and most generic ecchi stuff is given another treatment. It makes me sad.
Eatcake: That's not a big surprise, what with "Honey and Clover", which is godlike.
. . . I just hope the main character gets a happier resolution in this one.
<3 Akari, shes so strong
Call me shallow, but my most favorite characters are the cats :3
great, new chapter. i love this manga. thx
If you stay with this manga, it will has some of the best character development and storytelling you've ever read in any media
gatou looks like the crazy guy from baccano, amazong manga why has this not been made into an anime yet.....sigh
awesome...
poor man, he have serious issues
the chapters are just too short...
There are very few series as good as this.
simply breathtaking, the narration is really good, and the art matches the feelings trying to be transmited by the narrator. though it says this is about shougi, it's not. you can apply this story and the characters situation to any kind of world, be it competition or daily life or fantasy or sports. a really good story about life and the author succeeds completely in telling it.
