Hikaru no go

roxs!!! wow...this is one of the best manga i have read till now.
this manga is about hikaru, a boy who found an old set of goben( the board where go is played) in his grandfather attic. he saw blood stains on the goban that no one else can see and then a ghost named sai appear and follows hikaru.(ok...i know this sounds corney but it is really great!) turns out that the ghost is furujiwa sai, a tutor to the emperor a thousand years again. during a match he played, the opponent cheated but accuses him and he lost. he couldn't take it and commited sucide and attaches himself to a goben, hoping he could come back and achieve the hand of god.
the story proceeds and hikaru who was reluctant to play go(think of it as chess) at first being to fall in love with it and the manga showed his path to becoming a professional player.
wah...i spent the last two days reading all 189 chapters of it with around 20 plus pages per chapter, it amounts to nearly 4000 pages of it. *faints
but i really have fun reading it even though i don't know anything about go at all. i think it is wei qi if i am not wrong...cool manga! sai is just so comical!pity i couldn't download the anime, the anime is 13 gig big, hd no place for it if not i would have downloaded it... anyway for people who know how to use bittorrent you can find it at box torrent. just google it
