Chapter 36 "Soul of Chess" Serialization

Chapter 36 "Soul of Chess" Serialization

After signing the contract, Higashino returned to the dormitory.

Originally thinking of continuing to draw manga, Sasaki asked him to stop and observe the readers' feedback.

And I can take a break during the Chinese New Year, and I will be busy afterwards.

So he could only go home again, and had a great time reading.

I didn't return to the dormitory until school started on the [-]th.

Before leaving, Higashino Xi called him aside, covered his face and said something shyly.

"That...that..."

"Please speak up." Higashino wanted to laugh.

"Well," Shio Higashino narrowed his eyes in embarrassment, "The creator of "Tokyo Love Story" is your colleague, can you get me an autograph? I like this TV series very much."

"It's a magazine owned by a different company..." Hibiki Higashino wanted to say that, but he nodded his head seeing his mother's expectant look.

"Well, I will. Teacher Caimenwen, I have long wanted to visit."

……

January 15th, the new year is not long.

In the first issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump", "Soul of Chess" began to be serialized.

It is the first new manga to be published after the serial meeting on December 12th.

It can be seen that the editorial department attaches great importance to "Soul of Chess".

Others were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, and some couldn't wait to buy "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Serial masterpiece of high school students!"

"The Tezuka Prize-selected work "Soul of Chess" debuts!"

"A talented manga artist who is rare in ten years, Akino Mirai Tori!"

Starting from October 25th, jump will start to accumulate power.

Newspapers and media are all doing propaganda, and the name "Soul of Chess" suddenly became popular.

It would be too wasteful not to use the name of a manga artist serialized by a high school student.

After paying homage to the temple, Nishimura had been curious about "Soul of Chess" for a long time, so he bought a copy and read it with great anticipation.

Hikaru Shinto and his childhood sweetheart Akira Fujisaki came to the attic of his grandfather's house, where there was a chessboard, which seemed quite valuable.

Right here, Hikari Shinto saw the blood on the Go board, but Akira Fujisaki didn't find anything.

Let the soul attached to the chessboard be moved to the point of tears.

He was a shogi player in the Heian period, 1000 years ago.

In order to pursue the hand of God, it has always existed in the world.

Longing for someone to see him and let him continue playing chess.

The previous person was Honinbo Shusaku from Innoshima, and the modern person is a sixth grader with a fleshy face——Shinto Hikari!

"O omnipotent god, thank you very much, I... I... I am now back in this world again!"

Nishimura watched Fujiwara Sakumi appear, he put on a cloth, held a folding fan, with a gentle and compassionate expression on his face, he couldn't help being touched.

"It's so handsome, no, it shouldn't be called handsome, but gentle and elegant, with extraordinary appearance."

He muttered to himself: "No wonder Mr. Akino Niao can serialize, the paintings are so good."

Being moved by a painting was beyond his expectation.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. After reading too many comics, the threshold is constantly increasing.

"It's also a high school student, so it's too strong!" He couldn't help but be speechless.

……

At the same time, in the chess academy, Shinoda was reading manga.

It's the Chinese New Year, and it's rare for the students in the academy to have time to rest. In the entire chess academy, he is the only one who still doesn't want to be here.

Occasionally, I will look at the chess records.

But this time, the manga he had been curious about for a long time was finally serialized, so what he read was manga.

If you want to know the effect of comics on Go promotion, you have to read it yourself.

It would be great if even myself, who usually doesn't read comics, is fascinated by "Soul of Chess".

He had never read comics at first, and he was not used to it.

I don't know the word order of the sentences, and I am overwhelmed by the complicated information of the comics, and I don't know where to start.

Fortunately, there are not many lines in "Soul of Chess", which made his reading threshold lower.

He watched Shinto Hikaru enter a go club, which looked familiar, similar to the one he often went to.

Most of the people in this club are middle-aged and elderly people, which is the same as the real situation.

However, there is one thing that is not in reality.

In this clubhouse, there is a middle-aged child who is also in the sixth grade, but he seems very mature.

The face is exquisite and cute, and Shinoda has been elusive. Is the child named Ryo Toya a boy or a girl?

But this is not important, what is important is the subsequent chess game.

Hikari Shinto and Ryo Toya started playing chess.

He picked up a chess piece and saw tears dripping down.

That was Sakui Fujiwara, 140 years after Torajiro passed away, he finally played chess again.

Seeing Fujiwara sobbing to hide his face, Shinoda felt sorry for him.

Although it was disgusting to see Go for a while, but if he can't play Go for a long time, it would be better to kill him decisively.

For him, or for Fujiwara Sawai, Go is already life.

Without Go, there would be no current Shinoda.

"It's a very emotional cartoon," he sighed.

The game plot that I was most worried about before is the most exciting part of the whole story.

Obviously, the content should be boring and boring, but in the switching of shots and the description of inner language, it seems so passionate and exciting, which makes people's blood boil.

Taya Ryo and Zuo Wei are obsessed with Go, readers will be moved by this feeling, right?

I can't wait to play a game myself and enjoy the joy of being addicted to Go.

"There is no exaggeration, everything is very real, and it can be performed so interestingly and vividly. Is this a comic?"

He immediately became serious.

"If there is no problem, there must be no problem."

Even he, a middle-aged man who has lost his blood, was moved. Children can also feel the romance of Go, right?
……

Koharu, Yamamura Morido, Kitamoto, Yoshii Yamahisa, Minami Chiharu...

Everyone Higashino knew, who knew or didn't know his identity, all saw this new work on the powerful platform of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

The name is a bit strange, "Soul of Chess", which describes Go.

At 3:40 pm on Monday, Higashino returned to the dormitory.

The president of Yanyan High School Go Club heard that he was learning Go, so he came to invite him to join the Go Club, which made him tireless.

After a dozen times of tugging, Higashino's resolute attitude disappointed the president.

"The Go club has only three members, and I will graduate in two more months. The Go club will also be abolished..."

His last lost soliloquy.

"I have always liked Go, but now it is a declining sport..."

Even so, Higashino did not let go.

He still has his own work to do. Although he likes Go very much, Go is just entertainment.

I need to draw manga, and I don't have free time at all.

"Yoshihara-so", all the roommates are there.

Haven't had time to go to work yet.

They sat together, discussing the "Sun Killing Incident" that will be published in the next issue of Jump.
