Hikaru no Go by Leshem Escoffery

Title - Hikaru no Go
Author - Yumi Hotta
Art - Takeshi Obata

Story - This story is based around a spirit of an old Go player from the Edo period. He has possessed a boy named Hikaru. At first it seems like the boy has no talents at all, but after two years he becomes a force to be reckoned with. It took a long journey to get him to his goals, but he gets there to everyone's surprise. When he becomes a pro, he starts out undefeated, but the spirit Sai leaves him because his time is up. He has fulfilled his will. It was time for him to pass over. At first, Hikaru was depressed and stopped playing, but he regained his will to play and came back.

My Analysis - I like this story because the game of Go seems interesting and I would like to play it. Also, being a Japanese anime, they exaggerate everything, which makes it interesting. Last but not least, is the suspense of the next book.
