Subsequently, after selection and soliciting opinions, the Japanese-Honki Chess Academy gave three female chess players who agreed to be the supervisors of the chess soul for the Hibiscus Society to choose. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at these three names, Miyahara didn't think about it, so he circled one of them, whose name was Yukari Umezawa.

Yukari Umezawa is a young female chess player, 25 years old this year, who entered the dan in '96, and at this time she had not yet qualified for the second dan.

Miyahara said before that there was no need to consider the rank of the supervisor, but it turned out that the chess academy really didn't consider the rank.

Aren't you afraid that a young chess player will be embarrassed by a mistake?

However, Yukari Umezawa is a chess player who has limited achievements, but I like this kind of thing more.

If you want to talk about mentorship, her teacher is Masao Kato, one of the famous super-first-class masters.

Kato Masao's strength at his peak does not need to be repeated, he has won titles such as "Honinbo", "Ten Dan", "Tengen", "Throne", "Crane Saint", "Qi Saint" in a single year, and he has won a total of 47 large and small titles in his life, ranking second in the history of Japan and Ben in terms of wins, which can be said to be a representative of "my career has no regrets".

However, with the Japanese-Ben Go training method, a strong master does not mean that the disciple is strong.

But it doesn't matter, Yukari Umezawa didn't choose Yukari Umezawa because of her chess strength, and Miyahara Jing's reason was relatively simple.

Because she was "originally" the supervisor of the chess soul.

After all, there are relatively few female chess players, and they can still find the original accessories, which is unexpected and reasonable.

In the future, although Yukari Umezawa obtained the qualification of the fifth dan, and usually served as a Go commentator on TV shows, she is considered a female chess player with a high appearance rate and is more familiar, but if you want to talk about her most important resume, there will always be such a one: the supervision of the manga chess soul.

It can be said that the work of Chess Soul became popular with the original Yumi Hotta, Ken Ohata who painted it, and Yukari Umezawa, and gave it to the Japanese... This game of Go brings a new twist.

With Yukari Umezawa joining, the chess soul can be said to be ready.

In late January, the Hibiscus Society announced in a high-profile manner in the weekly Shonen ME that a work had been selected for the new issue of the Hibiscus Society Manga Awards.

"Congratulations to Ms. Yumi Hotta for her work Chess Soul being selected for this issue of the Hibiscus Society Manga Awards."

This line of text is arranged in a circle, and in the circular area in the middle are the heads of Hikaru Shinto with a smile on his face and Sawei Fujiwara with a curious face huddled together.

And on the last page of this issue of ME, there is actually a color page of the chess soul, that is, the scene where Xiaoguang first met Zuowei.

For this painting, Ken Obata can be regarded as desperate, and 150% of his painting skills have been exerted, so the painting is also quite eye-catching.

Underneath the title of the chess soul, is the author's name, not to mention the original work and the supervisor, Shueisha's Kobata Ken's name actually appears here, which obviously explains a lot of things.

This time, the Hibiscus Society did not hide and choke, but directly gave a brief introduction:

In order to earn some pocket money, Hikaru Shinto, a sixth-grade elementary school student, went to his grandfather's house to hunt for treasures and accidentally turned out an old chessboard. The moment he touched the chessboard, the soul of Fujiwara Sawei, a Heian period chess player possessed on the chessboard, entered Hikaru Koko's body. Zuo Wei regards Go as his life, and under his influence, Xiaoguang gradually became interested in Go, and what kind of story will he encounter next? Juvenile manga chess soul, stay tuned. ”

This kind of fooling around is not unheard of before the story, and works that show themes such as shogi or Go also exist, but this is the first time that the two have been combined.

This kind of technical competition, coupled with the man-portable grandfather's flow routine, can be made into a hot-selling cool article with a strong style in the online literature industry.

In fact, it's the same in the comic world.,It's also very cool when Mao doesn't understand that Shinto Hikaru abuses genius children.,Fortunately, the original comic book knows how to stop in moderation.,Otherwise, it's not a juvenile comic.。

In any case, the Hibiscus Society Manga Award is a very well-known newcomer award, and now it has a home so quickly, which is bound to cause a round of discussion.

…………

TV Tokyo has an anime review program called "Let's Watch Anime", which is broadcast regularly every Saturday night, and the ratings are not bad, and many viewers who like anime watch it regularly.

There's a section called "Anime Manga New Work Preview", and Oda Shinna was also on this show before, and now it's the turn of the chess soul.

"Hello audience friends, now it's time for our new work review session, and the work we want to talk about in this issue is ......"

"I just won the 10 million prize money of the Hibiscus Society Manga Award, and it is rumored that the chess soul will start serialization soon!"

"Our guest commentator in this issue is Jun Motohashi."

The host of the show, Tetsuko Suzuki, is a young woman, and as for Jun Motohashi, she is a middle-aged man in his forties.

Motohashi waved to the audience and said hello with a smile.

There was sparse applause from the scene - this is something that cannot be helped, the audience is very limited, and no one can expect this kind of program to have such a high-end studio, and the audience capacity does not need to be pursued.

"Mr. Motohashi, first of all, what do you think of this chess soul that won the manga award?" Suzuki asked directly.

"Because of the bonus, although the Hibiscus Society Comic Award is a new award, it has always been a topic, as for this year's chess soul, from the current situation, it seems that the award is a little too fast...... 10 million was given, and the Hibiscus Society was also atmospheric. ”

"And I want to make it clear that this prize money is not for the entire work, but to be exact, for Ms. Yumi Hotta, who made the original work, which means that she won the grand prize just for the original work."

The bridge on the TV was talking, and at this time there was an exclamation from the audience.

I don't know if anyone was really surprised, or if it was the added post-production sound effects.

"Does that mean this chess soul story is of high quality?"

Suzuki asked, as he spoke.

Instead of answering the question head-on, Motohashi said, "It is said that this Ms. Hotta Yumi did not have any foundation in manga before the soul of chess, and she is indeed a complete newcomer, and judging from the current information, manga is a niche Go theme, and frankly I have doubts."

"Of course, we can only guess at the quality of the work."

Before he did the comic review, he was a cartoonist who hit the streets, and he didn't achieve much in his own job, so he didn't expect to shine in another career.

For many reviewers, comments are actually tantamount to methodical nonsense, and Motohashi has got the essence of it.

A wise person never makes assertive comments about things he has not seen, he may make tendentious judgments, but he will not bite the bullet, especially when he is in public.

Unless he's just a big eyeball, or he doesn't plan to mess around in this line at any time.

Of course, this is all under the premise that no one will give him money.

This time, the Hibiscus Society obviously didn't give Motohashi money, and no one else gave him sponsorship, so he didn't brag or black, and "euphemistically" said something.
