Hikaru no Go
ヒカルの碁
Akira Toya already plays Go like a pro, so losing to a sixth grader who does not care about the game shakes him badly. The sixth grader is Hikaru Shindo. The real player is Fujiwara-no-Sai, a Heian-era Go master who has been a ghost for centuries. Sai haunted an old board in the attic of Hikaru's grandfather. When Hikaru found it, the ghost settled into his mind. Nobody else can see Sai, so his moves pass for Hikaru's own. Sai still dreams of the Divine Move. Akira becomes fixated on the strange boy who beat him, and that rivalry slowly pulls Hikaru into the game for real. Takeshi Obata draws it. A professional player oversaw the games. This is the manga that got a generation of young people in Japan playing Go, and rivalry fans will see why.
