Latest News (Spoilers Ahead)

July 16th,

Well, the page I posted below is now deffunct, though maybe it will come back, so I guess i'll leave it there. I have found translations for the weekly Shounen Jump Hikaru no Go at:

And after searching around alot I managed to find scans (though not the best) of chapter 150-156, if anyone who can't afford to buy Weekly Shounen Jump (i.e: living outside japan, or has no local store that sells it ^_^) wants them feel free to e-mail me at info@manga.kaijuu.net

Here's a site that has scans for the weekly releases of Hikaru no Go, though the quality is poor, and the updates come out 3-7 days after the release of that weeks' issue of Jump. It has some of the side stories, and chapters 149-153 so far/

The new series started today in Japan! Chapter 149 was published in Weekly Jump. DaveSigaty

April 2002

As reported in the new characters guide, volume 17 of the manga will be published June 4th. Still no news on when the new series will begin. DaveSigaty

January 28, 2002

The part I of the series (the 'Sai' segment) has just ended at 148 chapters, after the match between Akira & Hikaru. I don't know what the author has in store for part II. Very likely a young Korean pro, who was earlier beaten by Hikaru while both were insei, will reappear.

Feel free to update any news.

DaveSigaty: The first series indeed ends with chapter 148 published today in the weekly comic. According to the information at the end, from February 19th there will be a number of individual short pieces on popular characters in the series. The first will be about Akira before he meets Hikaru and the second about Kaga. Others to be covered will be Mitani, Nase, and Sai among others. Sometime in the spring of 2002 a new series/story will start with chapter 149.

Mike_no_Go- The story from 149 on will likely involve a event Amano-san and others were discussing while the Hikaru-Akira match was going on. The event will be a Japan-China-Korea Jr. Tournament for Pros 18-and-under. It's unclear how many will participate from each country, but it's likely Akira, Hikaru, and Ochi will represent Japan...Hon Suyon will be part of the Korean team...and (wild guess) Rei Pin (Waya-look-alike) will be part of the Chinese team.


Holigor's spoiler (and discussion) from Junkie:

So, a Spoiler. There will be no serious go games in volume 6 anymore. Hikaru will play Akari though giving her 25 stone handicap. That's insolent, if you ask me. There will be a triple ko position in another game, but that's rather funny than seriouss. In volumes 7-11 Hikaru will play a lot of go. Too much I think. Just imagine that a "puro shiken" game is played with 3 hours to each of the players + byoyomi. This makes 7 hours per game and there will be 27 of those! Even playing each day this will take almost a month. Of course, Hikaru will not go to school during this month. (DaveSigaty: Actually they only play 3 days a week: Sunday, Tuesday, and Saturday. The whole thing takes more than 2 months as a result. Hikaru has to go to school on his days off.) From what I can understand, Hikaru will cheat in a game against Waya-kun. He will ask Sai to help him. It is that Cho Chikun's game. (Dave: He doesn't cheat, it is something quite different :-)

Guess, who's gonna initiate Hiraku in the pro world? Books 12-14 will tell about adventures of a young pro. From what I understand Toya meijin will hint Hikaru that he would like to play against Sai. So they will play. Well, that's pretty much what's gonna happen. Oh, yes. That voleyball girl in the Haze school is gonna kick Mitani's ass, as far as I can guess.


With regard to the Cho Chikun's game, I can confirm that Hikaru indeed came up with the move by himself. But Sai helped in a certain way. Also, It wasn't Meijin who hinted to Hikaru that he would like to play Sai - it was Hikaru who tried to get a game between them when he found that the Meijin had started playing Internet Go.
