Manga Hikaru No Go

Thanks Izzy. I really wanted to find out after the last time I read it. It helps some.

Hitokiri, when did that happen? I kind of need to rejog my memory of this manga.

 

actually i was refering to the time when Kaga and Tsutsui and Hikaru take part in the Go Club Tounament against Kaio. Just before the match he knocks over some kids Goban. and the time your refering to is actually right after Hikaru and Sai beat Akira for the first time. he visits the childrens go tournament and when Sai points out a move Hikaru speaks up and ruins the kids game. he get yelled at for that incident.

 

That part was funny, Hey have any of you played GO before, or want to play?

 

Now that my memory is slowly coming back.

Hit. How do/did you read the manga?

Actually the one you are talking about where Hikaru messed up that game happened early on. It is after all in SJ. We have yet to read the full second match between Hikaru/Sai and Akira. I think it is Chapter 4 could be Chapter 3. Going by TY. Shonen Jump just completed Chapter 5 or is it on 5.

Izzy is right about Chapter 9. If I remember correctly.

I like Chapter 7 where Sai and Hikaru solve the Go problems that have yet to be solved. It helps them join the Go club. ^_^

As far as playing Go I would like to try. But I don't think I would be any good at it.

 

hmmm...i dont think so...cause i have the manga here in front of me... the singles tournament was before he entered the Go Tournament...

as for playing go...i started a go league at my school...and ive been studying the Asian Wall for a while. There is an american Go league but there considerably weaker compared to most of the world. a Kyuu Dan, in the american league is only about the level of Ni Dan in Japan. For a long time Japan, Korea, and China have been considered the Asian Wall. they are the best countries for Go in the world. considering that Igo is an ancient Chinese board game i suppose that comes as no suprise. in Japan, the Igo world is well represented in Hikaru No Go, so what your seeing is basicly what actually goes on there.

Korea is a considerably different world when it comes to Igo. when a person starts to study Igo they're usually in grade school, and usually drop out of school to study Igo, exclusivly.

There are a nuber of internet Igo programs out there. they all resemble the one that Hikaru and Sai use at the Internet parlor where Mitani's sister works. in Japan many title matches are replayed on te internet so that Igo fans can get a front row view of the matches as they happen.

heres something to think about...the current purse for the Kisei title is 42,000,000 Yen thats 413,000 dollars...thats a lot of money.

ill post the KoreanTitle holder later..

 

Were do you get your info from, and were wpuld be a good place to look on the internet for those Go programs?

 

Um, Izzy and I are going from Toriyama's World (TY or TW). When Hikaru spoke up at the childerns Go tournment either chapter 3 or 4. (Izzy can tell you which one) He got kicked out. It has already happened in Shonen Jump (SJ). It was either in the March Issue or Feb cannot remember which one of Shonen Jump.

After (chapter 9) the board is completely messed up and Hikaru fixed it. These are completely two different happenings. So yes it was before. But I am just pointing out two different happenings. Trust me Izzy probably can look at it whenever he wants too.

It puzzles me that Sai was also wondering why Hikaru could see the blood at the beginning. Now that I am starting to remember what happened via TY. It is all starting to make sense. hikaru never played Go before but now that he is it is all starting to become clearer.

Izzy maybe you can tell me something. I know that Sai is now teaching Hikaru to play Go. Does Hikaru ever play against anyone on his own after Sai started teaching him? One more thing, I remember when Hikaru sort of or did use Sai power does that happen again?

This is what you get for telling me about Hikaru no Go.

BTW, If you watch Inuyasha you could bug me all you want.

 

i get infor from all over the web...different sites and such,...there really isnt a main page that i use...anyway...
As for Igo programs...i know Yahoo has one...but there are a lot of japanese sites out there if your computer supports japanese text and you need to be able to read Hiragana Katakana and Kanji so...

If you can please tell how strong you are in either kyu or dan hitokiri.

 

i like this manga too, because ....,hic, i don't know what i should say, i can't speak english well, so i only said that ^ ^
but, i very like hikaru, like his trait

 

Yea, I follow Shonen Jump too. The series is pretty cool, but Naruto is still better in my opinion

 

I remember I started reading this when Hikaru no Go replaced Sandland in SJ. I thought it was so interesting. Me and my friends tried to learn how to play go, but I moved away, so I don't know whether they're still doing it or not. And when I was in Wal-mart, I saw this pocket game called Othello, when I started playing it I realized it was similar to go. Has anyone else seen that game?

 

yes, othello is like go but no where near as prestegious or as involved. if you read my previous posts you'll see what i mean.

 

For some reason the Go helper lady in SJ confuses the **** out of me. I understood Go a little but with her teachings. I was like wtf? I guess I'll have to look at it more before I understand it.

 

currently i'm trying to learn the game... My grandma has be TRYING to teach me. But so far i really love the game... it's a really chalenge and lets you use yoru brain.

As for the manga and anime, i was engulfed in it

 

Ah! I fell in love with Hikaru no Go ever since I read it in a Shounen Jump magazine! I now have the 1st volume and I'm waiting for Borders to restock so I can buy the 2nd one.

My favorite character is Akira! He was adorable when he was little. ^^ Sorry, if I'm scaring anyone.

I know how to hold my Go piece between my middle and index/ring. It's quite easy.
