This series is amazing. Why no team has picked up this series yet!?

no chapters yet T_T waiting for at least a year now...

Yep its a tragedy that no one has picked this up :< the manga is at like chapter 100

no chapters yet T_T waiting for at least a year now...

Frustration!  This a manga with a fine story. It needs to be continued.

This is a damn good manga. All of those naysayers that proclaim that manga can't possibly be art, I direct you to this title.

 

It is not art due to the art style, but the story telling. It's deep and possesses a beautiful flow, much like the river mentioned several times in this story.

Oh my, this is seriously great. 

 

Please, somebody pick it up, PLEASE.

I really hope that this continues.

 

The current group is inactive, though... Some other group will have to pick it up if they remain as such. >.<

I really hope that this continues.

I really want to see more of Kyoko and Rei's relationship. It's interesting, to say the least. She probably has the most influence on him at this point.

I just want to see them two bang each other. There's no need for relationship LOL.

wow, I've read several shogi stories and this one takes the cake by far.  Glad to have found it.

This manga is like avant-garde Suprematist painting.
god damn, I'm glad I held back when it was first released, soooooo good with uchuu too, dat feel :3
Thanks, Be With You Scans. I really enjoyed this chapter. You guys rock for being able to translate what is some really complicated dialogue (not as straight forward as a shoujo romance or an action manga). Really great job in getting the emotions and thought processes of the characters across.
Weird. This chapter (32) seems slight, like nothing much happened, and then if I look at it from a slightly different angle, a whole lot happened. Like, he made a huge breakthrough, but not for any especially huge reason--I guess he was ready to?
The more I read, the less I understand, where the plot is heading to and what is actually happening there.
I wouldn't say Rei leaving Kouda's home now makes more sense, per se...

Spoiler
Ahhhh! The romantic plot has finally truly reared its head! And suddenly Rei's decision to move out on his on makes more sense!
Its like everything is coming together at once! :'D Awesome! This series is awesome!
Y'know, I'm thinking I need to go back and read from the beginning again.
double release?? Sweet
@Jeanjake: Wait till you see this one chapter that comes up in a future volume. =P
This is a pleasant read . Nice for a change of pace … I love it . The feelings of loneliness and being helpless , and being able to live through all of that . This is deep … real deep .
… Follow .
14 pages ... wut?
Gotta shout out to Be With You Scans "Thanks for bringing us 3 Gatsu no Lion!"

He already has a relationship with his sister. He loves her, but at the same time hes acutely aware that her only goal is to make him miserable. Her two speak, even her relationships, she uses them as a weapon to attack. Despite all that, he knows that he can't not think about her and thats why he ran away. Its not a healthy relationship but it is the one hes in. He hates gotah for instance not because hes bad for her, but because she says she likes him thus hes jealous of him. Even though he already knows she only likes him to hurt him. >>>> Fun story.
