   What about Hikaru no Go.  Who would have thought that a manga about a board   
   game could be so dynamic?  It's got great characters and plot.  The   
   characters include young kids and elderly adults.  Far from being static,   
   the authors bring a dynamic quality to the Go matches which are set against   
   a backdrop of compelling drama.

   What in the world kind of Go was that   
      
    - Hikaru no Go - Akira is looking at the final layout of the game between   
   Shindou and Yashiro.  He's talking to himself, amazed and puzzled.
