The Totally Epic HikaGo Reread - Vol. 1

[effex]

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HIKARU NO GO?

Yes? Excellent. Let's get this party started - to the comments with your thoughts, observations, revelations, etc!

(A reminder - there are several people who are reading the series for the first time, let's try to keep spoilers to a minimum.)

A question - how did the one volume/week work for you? Was it doable, difficult, ridiculously easy? Do we want to stay with it or kick it up to two volumes a week (or down to chapters a week)?

I agree about Ogata. He's one of my favourite characters, and whenever I re-read the first couple of manga, I have to squint a little so I don't have to see him clearly.

Maybe Sai the excruciatingly pretty wasn't filling their handsome dudes needs? And the boys were all too young.

'cause seriously, the change is pretty drastic.

[dancing_serpent]

The boys may be a bit young at first, but later...I think a lot of them turned out very beautiful. Even Hikaru. *g*

[zanzando]

Sai is beautiful, but I suppose they needed a "cool" type older character. See also: Touya Koyo looking younger every time we see him.

[effex]

[nods] Yeah, I was just thinking that.

[zanzando]

I think Obata might have put in a bit more effort too when Ogata became a more important character *and* his own skill improved?

[dancing_serpent]

Well, I'm glad they decided so. ♥ Ogata - and yeah, you're right about Touya Kouyou, too. Looking forward to that...

[zanzando]

So am I. ♥

[dancing_serpent]

Oh yeah. I keep trying to substitute early-volume-Ogata with glinty-glasses-anime-Ogata to get over the *shudders*

[zanzando]

LOL I keep the pages where Ogata watches "that one game" online and takes off his glasses for a second nearby to cleanse the palate, so to say.
