Synopsis

Hikaru Shindo discovers an old Go board and encounters the spirit of Fujiwara no Sai, a player whose passion for the game has never faded. Their meeting introduces Hikaru to an unfamiliar world and brings him face to face with the gifted, intensely serious Akira Toya.

Through early matches and school-club friendships, Hikaru begins to discover the game’s appeal for himself. What started as a way to satisfy Sai gradually becomes the beginning of his own passion and rivalry.
