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)?

If it was "only about a board game" I wouldn't have fallen in love with HnG. Because I'm someone who hates board games and doesn't really care for "sport manga" . So, I actually came to HnG via painless_js enthusiastic rec - I don't think I would have touched it otherwise. And boy, I would have missed out on something awesome.

Yes! There's this disconnect. Because *obviously* it's not just about a board game, but playing a board game by itself is not just about the game.

A big part of the greatness of HikaGo is that it makes people see that.

Any human activity, and any social activity especially is always more than just the thing itself.
