"Ghostly board game enthusiast inspires aimless schoolboy."
It isn't a secret that Hikaru no Go is one of my favorite series. I only just started collecting the volumes despite devouring the anime and manga back when I was barely a teenager. I rewatched the anime less than a year ago and while I wouldn't necessarily say it gets better with each watch, I still love it with the same fervor. I won't bother reviewing the anime, but beyond rearranging or omitting a couple of scenes, the animated series faithfully adapts the first part of its source material. If you watch the anime and want to know what occurs after, start reading from volume 19. You can watch the anime on Hulu.
I wanted to avoid diving into the first volume without explaining a couple of things, so anticipate much shorter reviews for volume two onward. The first couple of paragraphs will cover part of chapter one, which you can check out for free on Viz's site.
You can buy print copies volume one on sites such as Amazon or Right Stuf.
