i'm so happy to find an active HnG fic! this is great so far! keep it up!

Akira betting?! Awesome! Mitani in for a surprise.

Ah, I'm remembering the first time Mitani was introduced. I felt like punching him back then, and now that feeling's coming back to me. I really he'll redeem himself, but right now, I'm cheering for Akira. Anyways, good luck writing your next chapter.

You go Akira! Woot!

Loved this new part! *grins*

Oh, man, Akira is pissed. Not a good thing and just wait when they find out Mitani is cheating. Can't wait for the next update.

Hikaru's tightfistedness is funny! I bet he's excellent at haggling, too. ;o)

Oh I can't wait to see what you have next :)

19 chapters avoiding Hikaru playing Go !" Congratulations!"

I look forward to seeing Akira/Hikaru's unfolding friendship and how Hikaru's soccer affects his story. Thanks for writing!

Awww this is so sweet! Akira is really excited that Hikaru wants to be his friend! XD
I'm glad Hikaru wants to hang out with him :)
jaja yes the kid was very lame!

Thanks for update man. Love the interaction between Akira and Hikaru

NOOOOOO! I mean come on, Akira is just replaying/revisting go games by himself during this time. Why can't Hikaru play go games with him until the club ends for the day. It's so sad,poor Akira who never had any friends before. Can't wait to read more about the day Akira and Hikura hangs out and bond. Thanks for the update.

He has not played a go game yet,

I still find that the chapters are too short but if that what it takes to have you constantly deliver a chapter every Saturday then I can't complain much.

Now that most of the character introductions are done for a while this fanfic is starting to get interesting. I get the sense that your writing is improving with each chapter.

Keep it up.
