Chapter Summary
It is the season of the games, the different teams are made up of different students from different grades and sections. Urushi and Tanaka are on the same team, white, and when they want to win they will see opposition from each other, she is not athletic and he is very good at sports. Despite the clumsiness and slowness, Tanaka promises to recover all the distance she lost and in the final test that must be faced: “to give something tender”, he decides to go for her and together they win the games. However, the Shogi Club has yet to be recognized and must have two more members, which Tanaka asks Takeru to join, which he accepts on the condition that he is a ghost and that is fine , that both boys have their reasons for attending. without going Urushi is happy.
Chapter Opinion
Diabetes is creeping into me too. The whole chapter seemed sweet and tender to me, even Takeru’s romantic interest, which is Sakuraku (too broken a character for these power scales, I’d say). I still have the same position on the opening and the ended, in the long run I will definitely appreciate the former. The animation still seems regular to me, not that they need it that much either, I find it works, although I would like to see a slightly clearer, more cheerful color palette, because what they show I think there is something bad. going to happen. I don’t know if it was on my mobile phone or the player where I saw the chapter or the chapter itself, but there was a sudden animation where no movement was visible, just a kind of teleportation, but as I say, I can’t’ I don’t know if he was on my side. all the rest Okay.

Games and gambling
Since they are in high school, there are many other activities that they can be involved in, since we only saw one game of shogi and in the field and almost at the end. The competitions are taken, which is rare because in some animes this comes later. They are going with everything and it seems good to me, because we already know that they like each other and they will probably talk in the long run about why Tanaka likes Urushi and why Urushi likes him a lot with him. shogiis the second thing I want to see.
Going to the games, Urushi’s clumsiness is clearly shown, even when they did the “three legs” they both fell on their faces, which I laughed and then I felt too cute. There is the type of cliché character in the anime, and it can work or not depending on how you work with her and I see in the case of Urushi it works well, her clumsiness is not hateful, it makes her more tender . .
A cute thing
In the last review I said I would talk more about Tanaka and here it comes. He is cold and serious, but for this reason it is impossible to know or be sure if what he says is serious or a joke, like those “jokes” Urushi. He is very athletic, he was in kendo for many years and decided to leave, but I wonder if it is all 100% for the Senpai. In the end I would say that he is very transparent, however I think he keeps secrets, especially from the past. And I say it is transparent precisely because of what was expressed in the chapter, “he gives something tender” and he hardly doubts, he immediately goes to Urushi, cuts her and they go to the line finished together. That felt like: I like you, you’re cute, you and I can win (in everything). Too cute that scene, although in the end Urushi wondered if it is something.

Ghost Member
It seems that Takeru is already more detailed, which was seen in the last chapter but without much significance. He stops by the library twice a week and has to be like Tanaka’s case, to be with the girl he likes. Sakuraku is such a girl, cute, half quiet, speaks softly and seems to be very pampered, using hypnosis without going through the Manga and forcing? Takeru to feed him in his mouth. In my head I’m with “ALREADY MARRIED!”. And well, he is a new member of Club Conradh na Gaeilge shōgi and former competitor Tanaka.
Tanaka tells Urushi and she is happy and seeing her happy made him happy. I understand that feeling well. Anyway, I hope my glucose doesn’t rise so much watching this anime.
