Full-time comic artist

Takasugi: "Miyagi Ryota performed exceptionally well!"

Yi Jiang: "I was talking about 'The Bizarre Detective Agency'!"

Tugen: "I've read this work. I never expected that the roar in the middle of the night was snoring. The author's ingenious idea really surprised me."

Yi Jiang: "It feels like a very promising work."

Otaku: "I also quite like this work. But do you guys know an anime called 'Gag Manga Biyori'?"

Yi Jiang: "What?"

Tugen: "I don't know."

Otaku: "It's an incredibly exciting short anime! You'll regret it if you don't watch it! Especially the latest episode, where a meteorite falls from the sky and Earth is about to be destroyed. People are starting to reveal their hidden sides."

He appeared completely naked on the show; he's a legendary figure in the world of perverted singing.

She usually maintains a cute and innocent image as a youthful idol singer, but what she reveals is a 25-year-old woman who smokes and has a bunch of bad habits.

And then there are ventriloquists who are torturing dolls they once considered companions!

In his excitement, A Zhai typed out a long string of words in paragraphs, demonstrating his deep affection for the work.

He continued typing: "A former magician, a superhuman, who deflected a meteorite and saved the world."

Yi Jiang: "Eh! I'm more curious about what happens next!"

Tugen: "Where can I watch it? It looks really interesting!"

Otaku: "Asahi's late-night slot, at 1 a.m. on Tuesdays."

Yi Jiang: "Yes, yes! I'll go see it!"

Otaku: "Not only that, but more importantly, the original work of this anime is actually by Tori Akino Mirai-sensei."

"!"

"!"

"!"

The other three people all typed exclamation marks.

"It's true!" In the dimly lit room, Tsuchikata typed, "The scriptwriter is Akino-sensei, the author of 'Hikaru no Go' and 'Slam Dunk.' Go check it out, you definitely won't regret it!"

……

Kazuya Takasugi stared at the screen in surprise. "An anime written by Akino Toriyama? I've never heard of it before?"

He decided to stay up three hours later tonight so he could see the five characters "Tori Akino Mirai" with his own eyes.

As dawn broke through the window, Kazuya Takasugi put on his workout clothes, stepped out of his room, took a couple of breaths of fresh air to stretch his body, and then began his morning run.

An hour later, he stopped, just in front of a convenience store.

"Jump has been released."

He walked into the convenience store and bought Jump in a prominent position. He glanced at the cover and was stunned.

"This is!"

……

"This is!" Odagiri stared in astonishment at the color cover of Jump's magazine. On a whim, he had unexpectedly stumbled upon unbelievable content.

The cover features two people. One has long, dark green hair and a determined look, with half of his face visible. Without even thinking, Odagiri recognized him as Akira Touya!

The other person, needless to say, was Hikaru Shindo, dressed in a suit, holding a folding fan, and with a pensive expression!

"New content for Hikaru no Go!"

He was beaming with joy, his mouth agape, even happier than when he was promoted to the second rank.

"Although their personas have changed, they are definitely still the same people!"

The two, now grown up and mature, felt completely familiar to Odagiri, as if he were reuniting with a good friend.

It was still early, and there weren't many customers in the supermarket. Odagiri stood there, eagerly flipping to the short story in "Hikaru no Go," titled "The Great Reform of Go."

……

The story begins on a Chinese Go website, where an online Go player named master dominates the game, defeating many top players, while master remains undefeated.

“This is Sai!” Odagiri’s eyes widened as he recognized the familiar scent.

Fujiwara Sai also went by the alias "sai" and stirred up a storm on the internet.

The website design in the comic is simpler than the current internet. In the game of Go, Odagiri is surprised to find that "Master" has a unique style, using powerful computing power and very extreme moves.

It's the kind of strange operation that's very easy to target, yet still manages to maintain a perfect record.

"This kind of move definitely isn't 'sai'!"

Odagiri, a professional Go player, noticed this and became curious: who exactly is this top Go player?

Chapter 170 Strange Method of Descending

The story of "The Great Revolution in Go" is set in 2016, 20 years after Hikaru Shindo became a professional Go player.

The once spirited young men have now become handsome middle-aged men.

Upon hearing "Master," Hikaru naturally recalled his past with Sai.

He still misses that teacher.

Although he carries on Sai's Go tradition and pursues the "God's Move," Hikaru still feels a lump in his throat every night.

Sai, I really miss you.

I want to tell my opponent about my current honors and the variations in Go.

Touya became a "celebrity."

"Isumi-senpai is now Isumi 9-dan."

"As for me, I defeated Touya in the Honinbo title match and successfully defended my Honinbo title."

“Sai…”

Looking at Hikaru like this, Odagiri was transported back to 1995, to the moment Sai disappeared, and his eyes welled up with tears.

“Tori Akino-sensei is really going too far,” Odagiri wiped his eyes with his suit sleeve and continued reading.

Long-haired, seeing that Akira Touya had ripened, ran to Hikaru's house.

Could it be Sai?

The soul of an ancient Go player who once possessed Hikaru Shindo!

The goal I pursue!

Akira is now a holder of the titles of "Meijin", "Judan" and "Kisei", but he still lacks confidence in defeating Sai.

So at this moment, he was especially excited!

Perhaps we can finally challenge "Sai".

While I still have a clear head, at my peak!

Hikaru Shindo shook his head. The way he said "Master" was unfamiliar, and he couldn't see Sai's figure.

But he did not give up on this clue and used the account "Hikaru Shindo" (a ninth-dan player) to challenge "Master" to a duel.

The other party accepted.

In an instant, the Go world was in turmoil.

Hikaru Shindo was a former world Go champion and one of the top players in the Go world.

Just like Touya Kouyo before.

Japan's international achievements in Go are largely attributed to Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya.

His duel with "Master" at this moment has truly attracted the attention of many people.

Moreover, many people remember "sai," like the fleeting legend of the epiphyllum blooming.

Odagiri watched nervously.

The atmosphere created at the beginning of the comic made him very much looking forward to the outcome, and he also wanted to know how this game of chess was played. He was very curious about the different styles of chess!

Unfortunately, the 30-page manuscript ends here; we can only look forward to next week's content.

Odagiri sighed, and under the shop owner's watchful eye, he took the manga magazine and went to the counter to pay.

……

"What kind of move is this?"

Shinoda, a fourth-dan player, frowned as he looked at the manga Odagiri had brought him.

"Tori Akino is a professional Go player, so why was the game designed this way?"

Since there were no specific steps, Shinoda could only remain puzzled.

"Master has abandoned the air defense, even the Baron Nashor, focusing instead on initiating skirmishes and engaging in direct combat."

Shinoda, a fourth-dan player, couldn't understand this unique yet sharp approach.

“Let’s give it a try,” he said to Odagiri.

“Yes,” Odagiri nodded.

Just one hour later, Odagiri, who had used the Master's move, was defeated.

At first, he focused on provoking conflict without setting up any defenses. As the game progressed, his mind became increasingly inadequate, and he was quickly defeated by Shinoda in one fell swoop.

“If it were someone else’s manga, I would think the chess notation in the manga was just drawn randomly, but this is Tori Akino Mirai…” Shinoda shook his head, puzzled, “I really don’t understand.”

Odagiri put down his chess piece. "I can only look forward to next week's episode."

Hikaru Shindo playing against "Master" must be very interesting.

In the countryside.
