Ablaze dives into the world of competitive chess with his latest manga series, Blitzout September 14 in local comics and bookstores on September 27. Written by Cédric Biscay And Harumo Sanazaki with artwork by Daitaro Nishihara, Blitz will tell the story of Tom, a young high school student in love with classmate Harmony.
When Tom learns of his love of chess, he immediately joins the chess club where he must quickly learn the game to impress his love. He soon discovers a virtual reality machine that helps him analyze the most famous Grandmaster and World Chess Champion chess games. Garry Kasparov. Soon, with an unexpected twist, Tom will be granted access to the highest levels of the chess world.
This manga seems aimed at a very niche audience, one who not only really enjoys playing chess, but also reading about playing chess. This is going to be a tough step on my part, not only is this a game I don’t particularly like, but it looks like it will contain one of my least favorite tropes of a guy who knows nothing about a thing he wants to impress a girl who really is. taken and good at it, and instantly becomes the greatest of all time without training. I have a hard time imagining this continuing as a series for a long time. Maybe I am missing only something of the charm of this story, does it seem interesting to you?
