Hikaru Shindo is like any sixth-grader in Japan: a pretty normal school boy with a two-tone head of hair and a penchant for antics. One day, he finds an old bloodstained GO board in his grandfather's attic-and that's when things get really interesting. Trapped inside the GO board is Fujiwara-no-Sai, the ghost of an ancient GO master who taught the strategically complex board game to the Emperor of Japan many centuries ago. In one fateful moment, Sai becomes a part of Hikaru's consciousness and together, through thick and thin, they make an unstoppable GO-playing team. Will they be able to defeat GO players who have dedicated their lives to the game? Will Sai achieve the "Divine Move" so he'll finally be able to rest in peace? Begin your journey with Hikaru and Sai in this first volume of HIKARU NO GO.

Hikaru no Go, Volume 7
The tankobon opens with Hikaru Shindo waiting for Yoshitaka Waya to bring him to his study group. While waiting, Seiji Ogata, a student of Toya Meijin and the person that sponsored Shindo for an insei, crosses his path and invites him to attend the study group of Toya Meijin, alongside Akira Toya, Shindo's rival. Breaking Sai's heart, Shindo refuses, because he doesn't want to study with Toya, he wants to beat him. With his parting words, Ogata tells Shindo about the Young Lions Tournament.
The Young Lions Tournament is a Pro-Am Tournament, where the amateur component consists of the top sixteen students of Group A - the problem? Shindo is still on the bottom of Group B. With a new goal in mind, Shindo works hard and eventually get into Group A. Shindo eventually rose in rank and made it to sixteenth position in time for the Young Lions Tournament, but failed to pass the first round to play Toya in the second.
Meanwhile, the Go Club at Shindo's school tries to conscripts Yuki Mitani to play as First Board, so the Boys could play in the upcoming tournament and perhaps beat their rival school that Toya Akira goes to. Surprisingly, they managed to coax Mitani to come, but also managed to keep him there - a beautiful ending to a Go Club that started with a hope and dream.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this tankobon and seeing Shindo grow in strength at an astronomical rate. Having Shindo move from the bottom of Group B to Group A and then to the Young Lions Tournament, just being a round away in playing Toya. With the Pro Examination around the bend, I can't wait to read the next tankobon in the series. I can't wait to see Shindo and Toya both being professionals and playing a game.
