Excelente manga! La historia nos ha enganchado a todos, tanto a los mayores como a los peques de la casa. Además hay que sumar un diseño totalmente espectacular. Recomendado para aquellos que quieran empezar a leer en inglés. Cinco estrellas.

Hikaru No Go is a very accomplished manga. It boasts first-rate artwork by Takeshi Obata and an equally strong script by Yumi Hotta.Hotta never stretches your credulity beyond breaking point, and nor does she pull cheap and dodgy plot moves of the sort that set your alarm bells ringing. Instead, she writes thoughtful stories which feature strong characters, and which develop at a fairly relaxed pace - more closely mirroring reality than is the case with many other mangas. The plot is rooted in the competetive world of the traditional Japanese board-game, Go. This may sound like an undramatic premise, but in fact Hikaru No Go is one of the most intense and entertaining mangas that I have read. The intensity rests primarily in the developing relationships and rivalries between the different characters, who are are all brought together - at different points in the series - by their shared obsession with the game.Hikaru No Go also touches upon reincarnation and past lives, as well as highlighting the influence of one particular spirit from the past - Fujiwara no Sai - upon the present life of the main protagonist, Hikaru Shindo.I think it's a great manga.

My absolute favourite manga. Well worth it!
