Hikaru no Go: Volume 21


by Yumi Hotta (story) and Takeshi Obata (art), 189 pages

As Hikaru and the others prepare for the Hokuto Cup, an international youth competition, proud Ochi puts his place on the team on the line to prove a point, one of the players on the Korean team insults Japan's go heritage (according to the inexpert interpreter, at least), and star Akira's dad surprises everyone by retiring from the pros...so he can play in international amateur tournaments?

Who knew reading about a bunch of kids playing a traditional strategy game could be so interesting?
