Dad's comic life

"The comic "Chess Soul" is really good! Highly recommended!"

"Yeah, even though I can't play Go, I became very interested in it after watching "Soul of Go"."

"Zuo Wei is so handsome~ Zuo Wei will be my husband from now on!"

"I have to say that this comic is the best sports and competition comic in recent years!"

"You can actually draw Go with such enthusiasm. This porter is so awesome!"

"After reading this comic, I even bought a chessboard."

"I guess your chessboard was used for playing backgammon in the end, right?"

"……how do you know?"

"Because I'm just like you!"

"I want to learn Go recently."

"I think so too, Go looks cool!"

On various social platforms in Sakura Country, the work "Soul of Chess" is becoming more and more popular.

Many people are discussing this genius work from a Chinese cartoonist.

Some readers prefer "Soul of Chess" themselves.

After discovering that no one was discussing such a good work as "Go Soul", I immediately posted a long comment on the forum. Some people even deliberately wrote a related information post in order to attract people who didn't understand Go.

It includes Zuo Wei's identity, common sense in Go, and even interpretation of the game records to reduce reading difficulties as much as possible.

As the number of people discussing it increased, many readers who had stopped reading the work after reading the title also tried to read "The Soul of Chess", and ended up reading all the "Soul of Chess" that had been serialized so far in one go. I watched it once, and after watching it once, I quickly re-watched it a second time. It can be said that I couldn't stop at all.

Of course, in addition to readers who read this work because of the plot, everyone's discussion of the manga focuses more on the characters, especially Taya Ryo, Shindo Hikaru and Sawei. The three have distinct personalities and their work styles are very consistent with their own personalities. Characteristics, therefore, have their own fans.

Especially for the character of Zuo Wei, some girls in Sakura Country, after seeing Zuo Wei's appearance, immediately went back and read the comic again, and they all said that they would definitely buy it if it were not for Zuo Wei's peripherals.

The popularity of "Soul of Chess" also made some cartoonists think that the spring of sports and competitive comics has arrived. They felt that the market for sports and competitive works was a blank market, so some cartoonists started new comics.

It's a pity that none of their works have gained much popularity. Of course, this is all for another day.

Sakura Kokugi Academy at this time

Kuzuryuu Kudan was sitting in his office drinking tea at this moment, but his mind was thinking about the affairs of the Sakura Country Go community.

Although the current chess academy is an official chess academy, there is no need to worry about the financial difficulties that occurred back then.

But after all, the money is not spent casually. If the money spent on inviting manuscripts is wasted, it will be criticized by some people.

"Dong dong."

At this moment, the door of his office knocked, and with Kuzuryuu Kudan's "Please come in", Tian Song Kudan walked in.

"Chairman! What a good thing!"

As soon as Tian Song Jiudan came in, he couldn't wait to wave the document in his hand, with a smile as big as a chrysanthemum on his face.

"Huh? What a good thing?"

Seeing Tian Song's 9th dan eager look, Kuzuryu 9th dan raised his eyebrows.

"Look!"

Tian Song 9th Dan said this and handed the document in his hand to Kuzuryuu 9th Dan.

After Jiuduan Kuzuryu took the document, when the words in the document came into view, his pupils shrank, and then he opened his mouth slightly, his face full of astonishment.

It took him a while before he spoke, with a slight trembling in his tone: "This... is this true?"

"Yes!" Tian Song Jiudaan suppressed his excitement and said: "I didn't believe it at first, but after repeated confirmations, I finally confirmed that my proposal was successful! Although it has only been in the past two months, it has already been That explains the problem!”

"This is really... great!"

Kuzuryuu Jiudan's lips trembled twice.

You must know that the Chess Academy has been facing a problem before.

That's why the Go population is declining year by year, and the popularity is also decreasing.

However, from the documents given by Tian Song Jiuduan, it can be seen that the number of children signing up to study in chess academy branches in various regions has actually increased!

And according to the survey, the reason why these children come to participate in Go is either because they think Go is very interesting after watching "Soul of Go", or because their parents find Go very interesting after watching "Soul of Go", so they come to sign up. of!

“Share this good news with everyone!”

Kuzuryuu Jiuda took a deep breath, and his face returned to a calm look.

Such an expression made Tian Song Jiudan couldn't help but admire him.

Take a look, what is this? This is the person who does great things. I was only excited when I saw such good news at first, but I recovered so quickly.

Maybe in his opinion, this is just a small step for the chess academy, right?

"That... Chairman..."

Tian Song Jiuduan did not go out directly, but hesitated for a moment as if he had something to say.

"Tian Songsang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Jiuduan Kuzuryuu said in a pleasant tone.

After all, it’s Tian Songsang’s way of getting along with him. Maybe the other party has a better way to increase the popularity of Go?

Sure enough, the ideas of young people are the future of Go!

"Is such that."

After receiving the consent of Kuzuryu Kudan, Tian Songjiudan thought for a while and then continued: "Actually, there is a discussion room on the Internet that many readers like to discuss the most, and that is the question of chess players in the old era and chess players in the new era. Who is stronger, who is more powerful, I think we can use this aspect to increase the popularity of our Go game again!”

"Oh? Really?" Jiu Dulong Jiu Duan heard this and nodded: "Then just do what you want."

With that said, he stood up, came to Tian Song Jiuduan and patted his shoulder: "The future of Go still depends on you young people!"

"yes!"

After receiving the consent of Kuzuryuu 9th Dan, Tian Song 9th Dan walked out, preparing to inform other people in the chess academy about this matter.

And the moment he closed the door.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Kuzuryuu 9th Dan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, his hands involuntarily slapping his thighs.

outside the door.

Tian Song Jiuduan, who had just walked not far away, hesitated slightly and raised his brows slightly.

He seemed to hear someone laughing?

Subconsciously I looked around, but found no one.

Is he overthinking it?

Shrugging his shoulders, he started walking again.

As for the suspicion that Kuzuryuu Kudan is laughing?

That is impossible! How could someone as serious as Kuzuryuu Kudan laugh in the chess academy?
