the ending.. argh i totally thought that he would.. well.. *sigh*

yeah it's not the same after Sai..

it's really hard to talk about this series withouth spoiling anything =[

but it's a good read anyways; it leaves things unexplained.. but alas, we don't always get what we want in life.

I love Hikaru no Go! The artwork is great. The storyline is cool, and keeps the story interesting the whole time.

Hopefully there is a new season for this.But maybe it's already too old so i highly doubt that.Only if a miracle could happen though.Really nice anime/manga for me.I got bored of anime and it surprise me in the first few episodes for a board game which have a very good drama.Hope there is a 2nd season and anime.

Amazing, amazing series. Except for the ending. (As, like, 99.9% of all other readers have said). Just read until you get to the ending and skip it, as several others have suggested. The description of this series sounds so stupid (a game about chinese chess) but my goodness can the mangaka make it exciting! The art rules so much, and the growth of the characters throughout the series is incredible.

I am disappointed with Sai's disappearing too. He was the main character in the series not Hikaru!! I would like to see Sai playing with Touya Meijin at least one more time. Afterall, he disappeared without making the divine move. That is unfair!

It was a really great anime/manga. Honest. I really liked it. I wish there was more closure to the ending...
It was a truly well paced manga. Heck, even in the anime Hikaru actually gets taller and less childish... and I didn't even notice this until the end when I re-watched the beginning episodes.

i just love it one of my favs !! it a cool story. I never get tired of reading it over and over again

I read 23 volumes of this manga spend whole days reading and then this crap at the end. I don't care about if it is more realistic this way and blabla I want ah decent ending, so it feels like I have wasted all the time reading it.

I was rearranging my "small library" full of old mangas the other day, it brought back so much fine memories. Especially when I re-read this one. I still remember how my classmates and me trying figure out how to play Go from this manga and anime. I still remember the hype when the anime launched the very first episode and from that on, we bought the manga, some of my classmates rented the manga and they only read hype mangas, such as Bleach, Naruto, etc. It was so good, really good. I can feel young Hikaru who was a little brat growing up to be more passionate for his dream. Of course, all of this thanks to Sai. I also can feel the rivalry between him and Akira and together they grow to become stronger not only as rivals, but also friends. That was soooooo good, until
yet I don't blame Hikaru. He was a noisy brat after all. I mean it's what we will do as a brat but what makes me dislike him even more is he doesn't grow to become a better person and still hanging to his bratty selfish personality even though he had been through so much. For example:

Honestly, the real favorite character in this manga is Sai. I love him, my classmates love him, everyone loves him, who doesn't? He's not only the teacher for Hikaru, Akira and other characters on that manga's universe, he's our teacher too in this real world. He makes Go well known for other people from all around the world.Yet, the author decided to make him just like that without giving any conclusion. I don't know about others, but it left me dissatisfy. Sure by making him Hikaru learn how to grow, yes he did FOR A WHILE. Then he reverted to his old selfish personality. I felt so disappointed that I dropped the manga, but after years I dropped it, I heard it has already ended. So I decided to re-read it, I skipped so many chapters because it became so boring then just jumped into the last volume of the manga... Ho, boy.... I shouldn't have to put my hope high. The ending is so terrible and it feels so rushed. Hikaru still a miserable brat who can't learn anything despite so many thing that he has been through And what about his friends? Those poor poor side characters... they don't get any development. They just in there to make me hate Hikaru even more. Look at how he did to Akari Fujisaki and Sai. What makes me bitter is how the author treated Sai. Yes, yes, I love Sai because he's so cute and funny, but I just want to know if Sai could rest in peace or he go back to the Goban again? Seriously, poor him. He just want to play Go until he achieved Hand of God. It seemed impossible to achieve, but that selfish brat is just too selfish. Oh, how I wish the author kept making it so I can see the REAL conclusion of this series. Instead I get that terrible ending...
