Hikaru no Go is a manga centered around a young boy and Japanese game called Go. When a boy goes up to his grandfather's attic to try and find something to sell for money, he stumbles across an old Go board with blood stains on the top. Citing to his friend Akari that he found something, he shows he the board and than is confused when she says she can't see the blood marks that he is referring to. The voice of Sai, a Japanese noble than echos in the boy Hikaru's mind and tells him to let him join together.
Through this union in consicousness, Hikaru reluctantly begins to learn the game of go and learns of Sai's goals to play the "divine move." I really enjoyed this manga simply for the story, as the artwork is okay, but doesn't have the oomph! that the story does.
This manga was written by Yumi Hotta with the Art by Takeshi Obata and supervised by Yukari Umezawa, who is a 5 Dan in Go.
