Hikaru no Go is a manga series, a coming of age story based on the board game
Go written by
Yumi Hotta and illustrated by
Takeshi Obata with an anime adaptation.
The same basic storyline is followed by the manga and anime, with a few small changes between the versions. While exploring his grandfather's shed, Hikaru stumbles across a
Go board haunted by the spirit of
Fujiwara-no-Sai, a fictional
Go player from the
Heian era. Sai wishes to play
Go again, having not been able to since the late Edo period, when his ghost appeared to
Honinbō Shūsaku, an actual
Go player of that period. Sai's greatest desire is to attain the
Kami-no-Itte "Divine Move", or the "Hand of God" – a perfect game. Because Hikaru is apparently the only person who can perceive him, Sai inhabits a part of Hikaru's mind as a separate personality, coexisting, although not always comfortably, with the child.
This is a good example of cosplay for Shindou Hikaru. Not too cute like other crossdressing, although too much pretty for Sai. Was found from Faya's gallery.
