I don’t understand shogi, and I’m a very bad chess player, I never played a game with other people, but when I played against computer, I only win by luck or using undo option. So I don’t really know Umino Chika’s style as mangaka until 3-gatsu no Lion.ĭifferent from H&C, 3-gatsu no Lion actually gave me not-so-good first impression. And before I forget, I have to say I never read Honey and Clover. I mean, love is a strong word, but it wasn’t actually that strong that it could control you without you let it first. However I do think it suffered quite a bit by being too dramatic at the worst of time. Honey and Clover did a good job telling a slice of life kind of story.

But I know I have high respect for Umino Chika, and more after I began to read 3-gatsu no Lion. Well, maybe I should say “like”, since love is a strong word and my feeling doesn’t seem to compare to that.
