Hikaru Shindo, upon discovering a possessed Go board, finds himself befriending the spirit of wronged Go master of the heian period. Sai's spirit has remained with the board until he can accomplish his life's work and play the ultimate Go move. Unfortunately for Sai, Hikaru discovers his own desire to master Go and in Volume 11, Hikaru has become a professional. Sai's dream is pushed aside to allow Hikaru develop his own abilities and pursue his own dream. The characters are likeable, the art is appealing and the level of intensity in the story is engaging. At the end of each volume of "Hikaru no Go" you *want* to know what will happen. This is a great Shounen Jump title, suitable for boys and girls alike.
