the writing remains exceptionally strong. conceptualizing shogi as a desperate ticket for human interaction reframes his childhood isolation brilliantly. merging the afterburner and shogi clubs provides a highly logical narrative solution for his socialization.

i just want to jump through the screen and give young rei the biggest hug, no child deserves to feel that alone. his metaphor about shogi being a ticket to tomorrow was so incredibly beautiful but heartbreaking.
