Hikaru and Akira are extremely selfish individuals!

Hikaru, in particular, must come to terms with what he should be doing at present and where he truly stands. He is overly focused on only the things that he desires to do. At this crucial moment, his首要任务 should be to enter the tournament first!

His self-centered attitude is causing great frustration and anger. He fails to consider the bigger picture and the implications of his actions. It is essential for him to wake up and realize that his choices have consequences not only for himself but also for those around him.

Both Hikaru and Akira need to take a step back and reassess their priorities. They should learn to be more selfless and consider the needs and feelings of others. Only then can they hope to achieve true success and growth in their respective endeavors.

Hikaru's Go skills witness a remarkable progress in this volume.

This is largely due to the one-on-one games he has with Fujiwara-sai. The intense competition and the guidance from Fujiwara-sai have significantly enhanced Hikaru's understanding and proficiency in Go.

Moreover, I am extremely delighted by the return of Tetsuo Kaga from the Shogi I club. As someone who has a passion for playing Shogi I myself, his presence adds a new dimension to the story.

Tetsuo Kaga's skills and experience in Shogi I are bound to have an impact on the overall dynamics of the narrative.

His return not only enriches the plot but also provides an opportunity for interesting interactions and developments among the characters.

Overall, this volume is filled with excitement and anticipation, both in terms of Hikaru's Go journey and the return of Tetsuo Kaga.

There is a rather delicate transition in this volume regarding Obata-sensei's art.


The initial four volumes had a somewhat cartoony touch to them, which was quite fitting considering that Hikaru and his friends were younger at that time. However, as Hikaru grows and takes his very first steps into the professional world of go by becoming an insei, the line art has undergone a significant transformation. It has become much more refined and adheres much closer to a far more realistic style that the artist is renowned for in his later works. This evolution in the art style not only reflects the growth and development of the main character but also adds a new layer of depth and authenticity to the overall narrative. It allows the readers to better immerse themselves in the story and experience the journey of Hikaru along with him.

Another one done. This was about getting serious.

It was Hikaru's thinking that he would gradually improve while playing and someday reach Akira's level. However, he was informed that this pace was too slow.

As a result, Hikaru is now getting serious and has applied for a junior pro test.

He realizes that in order to achieve his goal, he needs to step up his game and prove himself.

The junior pro test will be a challenging opportunity for him to showcase his skills and determination.

Hikaru is fully aware of the difficulties ahead, but he is ready to face them head-on.

He has been training hard and studying different strategies to enhance his performance.

With his newfound seriousness and dedication, he hopes to pass the test and take a significant step forward in his Go-playing career.

I truly hope he wins and achieves the success he desires.

Hikaru's increasing motivation to play Go for his own sake rather than simply to avoid the punishment of Sai's sadness is truly remarkable in terms of character development. After all, one can only tolerate a reluctant hero for so long. However, it still gives the impression that these volumes are leading towards something significant.

The Sai/Akira match is excellent!!! Although it is small in scale, it contains so much of that wonderful element where, "even though we are playing an anonymous game on the internet and have only played twice before, I KNOW YOU, I KNOW YOUR STYLE," which I absolutely love.

Also, we are bidding farewell to the Go Team (and YOU GO AKARI, GET THAT GIRLS TEAM GOING, BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIKARU). So, it seems that all of my Yuki feelings stem from nothing more than the brief time we spent with my favorite little scammer. Bless and keep him.

So much fun~

Hikaru discovers a lot about Insei in this volume. It's like a whole new world opening up for him. He realizes the intensity and competitiveness of this path. This newfound knowledge makes him even more determined. He decides that there's no more room for taking it slow. He wants to catch up with Akira as quickly as possible.

Hikaru is filled with a sense of urgency. He understands that to reach Akira's level, he has to put in a lot of effort and hard work. Every moment becomes precious to him as he focuses on improving his skills.

He is no longer content with just casually playing Go. He is ready to face the challenges head-on and push himself to the limit. With this new determination, Hikaru embarks on a journey to become a better Go player and ultimately, to catch up with his idol, Akira.

Finally, I checked online to see if volume five, which my library does not have and seems intent on never acquiring, was available. And voila! I've read it now, and I'm excited to be back on board with this manga.

Volume five delves into the aftermath of Akira's online go game with Sai and the impact of his passing the pro-test on Hikaru. Hikaru encounters Kaio's captain and is lectured on his commitment. He is told that if Akira is his goal, then he had better get serious. This volume marks a new level of commitment by Hikaru to both Go and his pursuit of Akira.

There are some nice character moments in this volume, especially among the Go club members as Hikaru's decisions have an impact on the club. Some new characters are introduced as well. I found Kaga to be quite intriguing, and I hope they do more with his character in the future. It will be interesting to see how Hikaru's journey continues and how his relationships with the other characters develop.

I'm looking forward to reading the next volume and seeing what adventures await Hikaru in the world of Go.

Hikaru's captivating go journey persists as he witnesses Sai engage in a fierce battle against Akira Toya. During this encounter, Hikaru gains valuable insights into the steps Akira is taking to pursue his dream of becoming a professional go player.

I am particularly fond of the moment when Hikaru boldly stands up to Akira and essentially declares his rivalry. While Akira is completely absorbed in his thoughts about "Sai", Hikaru is setting his determined sights on Akira and is unwaveringly pushing forward.

This volume is a bit slower-paced as it lays the foundation for the remainder of the series. However, even in terms of the art, it feels like a significant change. The creators are beginning to zero in on their vision for what they want Hikaru no Go to become, and are smoothly shifting gears to adapt and bring that vision to life.

It's truly fascinating to see how the story is evolving and how the characters are developing, making me eagerly anticipate what lies ahead in this exciting go adventure.

Growth is indeed a beautiful and bittersweet experience.

At times, we find ourselves in a situation where we have no other option but to part ways with the people we have outgrown.

There is a higher calling that tugs at our souls, causing an ache within us as we strive to reach for something greater.

Currently, I am rooting for Hikaru's triumph in his insei journey.

I truly hope he achieves great success and reaches the heights he desires.

However, there is also a part of me that is low-key wishing Haze's go club were with him during that arc.

Their presence would have added an extra layer of support and perhaps made the journey even more meaningful for Hikaru.

It's interesting how our desires and emotions can be so complex when it comes to the growth and development of our favorite characters.

We want them to succeed, but we also long for the familiar and the comforting.

Nonetheless, we must trust that they will find their way and that growth will lead them to new and wonderful places.
