It sure looks like it, a small one for drinks or something. Is that normal for a Japanese middle schooler, I wonder? How much time does he spend in that room?
All his time. He is a Japanese boy. They sleep, go to school & after school classes and they study, nothing else. It really suchs to be a Japanese kid.
Manga & anime make kids's lives look fun; they're not.
So he has a fridge in his bedroom, 'cause material things are easy enough to get (if your dad's a 'saleryman'). Time you don't have, because if you don't do well in school, you won't get into a good collage, and if you don't get into a good collage you won't get a decent job. And then we're will you be?
One of the reason that some of the 'outsiders' want to be pro players is job security. If you're a pro you can teach and the Go institute will get you customers. You are payed to play. Even if you never win a title or even ever rise a Dan-level; you have job security.
