Chihayafuru – 124/125

February 26, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedChihayafuru, Manga, reviews
Comments (5)

Let the games begin. It’s a double release of Chihayafuru this week – in translated form anyway.  And the form the story itself takes should be very familiar to viewers of the anime’s second season, because these chapters take place almost entirely in tournament mode.  As always with the Queen/Meijin […] Read more

“That’s My Brother” So the last chapter was titled “My Brother” and this one “That’s My Brother”.  Is Adachi getting lazy in his middle age?  If the title of 20 is “Are We Really Going to Masadora?” we’ll have a pretty good idea. The translations of Mix are coming fast […] Read more

“My Brother” Baseball must have drama, Radishes gotta be from Nerima, And Saury’s gotta be from Meguro. Thank you kindly for your attention. It seems to me as if Adachi-sensei’s fourth-wall breaking – always a staple – is on the upswing of late.  That passage was how he justified Touma […] Read more

Otoyomegatari – 35

“Report” Every time NoitaminA announces a new series that isn’t Otoyomegatari, I grieve a little – especially when it’s a manga adaptation.  I’m prepared for the obvious possibility that this series will never be adapted – there are major difficulties any producer would have to face, plus the near-certainty that […] Read more

What a long, strange trip it’s been. Sometimes in our anime lives, we have our own fated meetings, just like the characters do – meetings that are destined to change our lives together.  This was the first paragraph I wrote about the Chihayafuru anime, back in 2011: It’s always a […] Read more

“Shield at Your Back” So all that stuff I said a couple of days ago?  That. Seriously, this is the problem with monthly manga (actually it’s even worse with Otoyomegatari, as Harta is only published 10 times a year) – the waits between chapters are brutal.  And that’s under the […] Read more

“Azel”s Offensive” If the question was, “Could Mori Kaoru draw a battle manga?” I think the answer is a conclusive “yes”. It would hard to overstate just how much of a departure the last few chapters of Otoyomegatari have been from earlier chapters in the series, and indeed from anything […] Read more

A Thank You Haiku For Rita

Rita was the first patron to commission a work, so Rita – here’s your haiku.  Thanks again for your support. Rita requested any sports anime/manga as the theme, so I went global… “It’s All About the Pairings” Sports fans do exist, But if it’s sales you want Aim for fujoshi Read more

Baby Steps Anime Announced (Updated 11/14)

Updated info below the fold. Update: It’s Pierrot, 25 episodes.  Of most interest to me was this quote: “Katsuki is collaborating on the creation of episodes with original stories not told in the manga.” My initial reaction to this is pretty negative, to be honest.  Pierrot has access to some […] Read more

“Hehe ♥“ This was pretty much Adachi at his most shameless.  No, I took no liberties with the chapter title – that’s it, complete with the little heart.  He starts with a reflection on windy days and uplifted skirts, and ends with “In this country, from times past, though there […] Read more
