This entire MLB offseason is just a constant feeling of low grade dread that Shohei Ohtani will sign somewhere I don't want to root for, and that's just my entire life since the Texas Rangers, the only Major League Baseball team without a pride night, won the World Series.

This episode, we're talking about Yumi Hotta (story), Takeshi Obata (art), and Yukari Umezawa (5 Dan) (Go supervisor) Hikaru no Go published by Viz and Misaki Takamatsu's Skip and Loafer published by Seven Seas.
