The Totally Epic HikaGo Reread - Vol. 1


Happy Wednesday, everyone!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HIKARU NO GO?

Yes? Excellent. Let's get this party started - to the comments with your thoughts, observations, revelations, etc!

(A reminder - there are several people who are reading the series for the first time, let's try to keep spoilers to a minimum.)



A question - how did the one volume/week work for you? Was it doable, difficult, ridiculously easy? Do we want to stay with it or kick it up to two volumes a week (or down to chapters a week)?

D'awww, Hikaru is the exact character archetype I'm going to like, I can tell! He's so little and cute and tooootally uninterested in this pretty ghost showing up to make him play Go. And eeew, projectile vomiting, omg, I laughed so hard at that last guy who was covered and was like "eww, Hikaru vomit :( :( :(".

Sai is very pretty! I love how he kind of hovers over Hikaru. It's awesome - those scenes are beautiful. And he really loves Go. That guy who cheated was a total douchebag. :|

Akira is very cute! But I really haven't seen enough of her to make a real impression. *G*

<3 <3 <3 Hikaru is a doll, he really is, and watching him grow into himself is one of the best parts of the manga.

Sai just gets prettier - it'd be ridiculous if it weren't so... pretty. And yeah, his death sucked. A lot.

And speaking of pretty boys, Akira's one! And he also gets prettier with age, heh. Watching him grow into himself is another one of the series' joys.

Oh yay, I can't wait! I might, uh, end up reading ahead a little bit! XD But then I will read it as we go along and it will actually be a reread for me! So, yeah.

And uh, by Akira, I meant Akari, hahaha. Letters are fun! But yes, Akira is quite pretty too. *G*
