You’re in for a treat if you’re a huge fan of “Hikaru no Go” and would want to enjoy it uniquely!
As Hikaru Shindou searches through his grandfather’s attic, he finds an antique go-board. When he touches it, an enigmatic voice greets him, and he quickly passes out.
As he comes, he finds that the voice is still there and that it is the ghost of an old go specialist named Sai Fujiwara no.
Sai, who taught to the Japanese Emperor during the Heian Period, has an enthusiasm for the game that surpasses space and time, enabling him to carry on playing it as a ghostly presence.
Sai plays the board game through Hikaru in an attempt to reach his ultimate aim of mastering a heavenly go method that no player has yet to grasp.
