ok well you know the scene where Ogata's leaving his apartment and has a conversation with one of his ladies that is like
"Hey Seiji I am cheering you on." "Whatever bitch you don't even know what you're cheering for." "Whatever! You had fun, didn't you?" "I have more fun playing Go."
A few volumes later Hotta has one of those author talk pages and has that panel in it, and her note is something like (paraphrased):
"So when I was sending the script for this scene over, I asked my editor to tell Obata-sensei to please keep the visuals for it subtle, and it was okay if the viewers didn't understand what was going on here. Only then the book comes out, and I see that the editor has added this caption over the panel:
no subject
