Description

[Machine Translation] My wife has created an essay manga with zero fictional content about the personal life of Mr. Watanabe, one of the most talented Shogi players in the world of Shogi. Shogi players are representatives of mankind! He makes his living by playing Shogi. He studies hard, plays about 50 games a year, laughs when he wins, and blames himself when he loses. The world is dominated by winning and losing. It is like a microcosm of life. What kind of people are professionals? What do they eat and how many hours do they sleep? The wife of a professional chess player has created a manga about the real life of a professional chess player, who is neither a winner nor a loser. It is non-fiction! Shogi players are a lonely profession. You win and lose dozens of times a year, and you have to accept every single one of them by yourself. You have to chew through hundreds of regrets in your life and the same amount of happiness, and keep running as fast as you can every day. That is why I am strongly attracted to the way of life of a Shogi player. My wife made a cartoon of such a professional chess player's daily life surrounded by stuffed animals.
