ヒカルの碁 [Hikaru no Go] #20

Three young Go players—rendered in Obata Takeshi's fluid, expressive style—dominate this volume's cover, their determined faces and school uniforms capturing the intense rivalry at the heart of Yumi Hotta's beloved series. A black Go stone is prominently held in the foreground, anchoring the image in the game that drives everything. Volume 20 of Hikaru no Go promises high-stakes competition as these characters press forward on their paths through the professional Go world.
