Someone did a short summary of vol 2. Those on jcafe give plus karma to kuro-ame-neko

I think there are 5 volumes out right now and the manga covers the first volume of the novel. I read this series a while ago so I don't really remember what happens after but...
Spoiler

Spoiler for raw:

-Tokage goes the challenge Shirasagi
-The game sorta has some weird rules,and in the end he loses
-It's introduced that Tokage plays Othello in his free time (online) and is pretty good at it
-He gets kidnapped by some rich Othello player who is looking for ability users that play Othello to participate in a tournament so he can beat some other guy (they get alot of money as a reward)
-He bluffs that he has some power so they he isn't killed (The guy thought Tokage was definitely an ability user from his skill in online Othello...
-Makes contact with Shirasagi who has people stalking the car that kidnapped Tokage from the beginning through a phone call (to the kidnapper's house)
-Tokage and Shirasagi collaborate to trick the kidnapper rich guy (Shirasagi makes contact with him through telepathy this time)
-They end up at some Othello tournament through some series of events and Sugamo's dad is there too
-It's established somewhere that using [Repaint] sort of changes Tokage's psychological state so he changes his eyes to black to match the fact he's playing othello (sort of like placebo effect? like gives him more confidence etc,etc)
-hell breaks loose when a few more ability users decided to use the tournament as a battleground

.......and that's basically all i remember of vol 2.
However now that I have recalled the existence of this novel, i might go read from volume 2 onwards....I actually have it on the bookshelf but haven't read it yet...
