Serious angsting for Sai. And Hikaru only slightly notices!

Kurata always reminds me of a bufferfish, all filled with hot air. But i guess he serves a purpose in the plot.

Akira seems to playing the same record over and over, and not getting anywhere. I'm starting to think it's bad writing at this point, like Akira's been put on hold until his, hopefully at some point, game with Hikaru.
