Chihayafuru – 132

In which Suetsugu Yuki displays an unprecedented level of sadism. In my last Chihayafuru post I alluded to the 2009 British Open as a model for what was playing out.  For those of you not sports fans, that was the event in which Tom Watson was one hole – one […] Read more

Tom Watson.  Turnberry.  2009. There was quite a bit of lingering doubt in my mind going into this chapter about how I’d feel when the moment of truth came – such is the brilliance of Suetsugu-sensei’s humanization of Suou-meijin.  But when those final cards were being read, despite all that […] Read more

You gotta love sports! In the midst of the most sports-heavy schedule in recent anime history (certainly at the top of the quality spectrum at least) Chihayafuru weighs in with what I’d call a “straight sports” chapter, a reminder that it can tackle this material with the best of them […] Read more

“Sister-Bride” It seems an odd thing to say about any Mori Kaoru chapter – especially one with so many curves – but as I was reading “Sister-Bride” it struck me that the art wasn’t quite up to Mori-sensei’s usual standard.  Or at least that it was different, somehow.  Maybe it’s […] Read more

This series has certainly taken a surprising and intriguing turn. Without a doubt, one of the most appealing aspects of Chihayafuru is that it can entertain, enlighten and emotionally engage in so many ways.  One might say that is both a great strength and a great weakness, and further that […] Read more

“I Feel a Little Sorry For Them” I’ve mentioned this before, but reading a baseball manga monthly is tough.  Especially an Adachi manga.  I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find myself getting a bit impatient with the rate of development.  As a result a chapter like this one, […] Read more

This Time it’s Real – Hunter X Hunter Returns (Updated 4/23/14)

HE IS BACK Update: the official return date is the 6/2 issue of WSJ.  The tagline: “What is being aimed for is darkness. What is being hunted is hope. What blocks the way is endless despair.” Hunter X Hunter is returning to Weekly Shounen Jump, starting in June.  This time […] Read more

In the immortal words of Azuma Yuhei, this is getting complicated. Life with Chihayafuru was certainly easier when Suou was someone we knew little about and were given no real reason to like, and we could unabashedly root for Harada-sensei with a clean conscience.  But as any fan of Hunter […] Read more

“Now That’s Huge” I confess I hadn’t realized that the translated version of this chapter has been out there for a while, so my apologies for that.  It happens to be a pretty eventful one, too, with the best and most important on-field action of the series so far – […] Read more

“In Her Garden” Mori-sensei + cat = win. I must say that narratively speaking I found this new chapter to be a bit of a snoozer, though I suppose it’s only natural since I have no connection with this new bride.  But the art was so beautiful you can’t help […] Read more
