* What is it with Go players and poking each other with (verbal) sticks?
* Not one of these boys is wearing a suit that fits him properly.
* It's interesting how the author continues to use the Chinese and Korean players to comment on the state of Japan's go. I'm trying to think of another sports/game/competition themed manga that gives it's international players such depth and characterization, but nothing's coming to mind.
* I also like all the translation problems they've got going on.
* I love Kiyoharu and his 'everybody just chill' and also his face. He makes great faces.
* Yay, Momma Shindo (and Grandpa) turned up! I don't remember, is this the first of Hikaru's games she's watched?
* I will never, ever get tired of all these DYNAMIC! ACTION! GO! panels.
* Drawing all those go stones must be a pain the ass.
* Oh, Akira. Be more besotted, I dare you.
* The face Hikaru makes after Akira tells him not to screw up is pretty great too.
