Ok, Ok, so I admit it: I got the manga comic book of Hikaru No Go from my local library. This was volume one of the series. It contains games 1-7.
Game 1 - Descent of the Go Master
Game 2 - From a Level Beyond
Game 3 - Matters of Life and Death
Game 4 - Inexcusable
Game 5 - Akira Bares His Fangs
Game 6 - A Decisive Blow
Game 7 - Three Problems of Life and Death
The series is the story of a 6th grader who is inhabited by a spirit from the Heian Period of Japan who teached him to play Go and helps him do well in social studies. Believe it or not, its actually a decent story. OK, so I'm a huge nerd. The comic does a good job of explaining the game and gives life and death problems for the reader to solve along with the characters. It also gives some historical background on the game.
Well worth the read if you have some free time before bed. Which is all the time I have nowadays. I'll try to do better.
