it is a beautiful story and amazingly well done
the artist is the same artist who did Death Note
OH MY GOD YES
It was the main reason I bought Shonen Jump (before I was smart enough to get them by themselves in manga volumes). I loved Hikaru no Go from the start, although towards the end my attention started fading. The main disappointment was how little of a part Sai had towards the end, but I'm pretty sure that's purposefully like that, for a reason.
btw, Go is nothing like checkers, unless you count the fact that both use little round pieces that are either black or white. It's far more complicated than checkers and actually had some use outside of just gaming (I'm pretty sure war generals would use this game as a means of planning battle strategy).
On a side note, I've been told my hair looks like a mirror of Light's from Death Note at times
It freaked my friend out
