What a throwback. I loved manga as a teen, and I really like revisiting these classics. I mean, Hikaru no go? A 6th grader being lowkey possessed by a ghost and becoming a wicked go player, I love it.

This was the 1st anime TV series I ever watched. That show started me on my journey in pursuit of the best stories in the world 20 years ago. Now I'm a ghostwriter...

I Read this book while on holiday in America. I loved it yet had only borrowed it from the library. I was sad to place it back. I rapidly devoured the many volumes, the drawing and storyline was amazing.

I was at BookExpo a few years ago and stopped to talk to the representative at the Shonen Jump booth. I asked what Manga series they would recommend for a person, well, like me. This was the series she recommended. This is my fourth Manga series. (I would recommend DeathNote to anyone who wanted to give it a try.)
The premise: an ancient Go Master's spirit decides to tag along with a contemporary sixth grader in hopes that in teaching his host how to play the game of Go he will get to eventually play the game of Go's most masterful move.
I wanted more story from this first book. I probably wanted enough more that I will go pick up volume two. I won't review any more of these unless the next few volumes get really interesting. I'm guessing it will feel a lot like The Karate Kid just with Go instead of martial arts.

I read the entire series. I read most of it, but never got to the International Tournament at the end. I love this story, esp the internet Sai part. It's not as exciting when Hikaru becomes a Pro, but his character is consistant with the willful and moody behavior. I love the anime too.
