Reading HikaGo was a religious experience. A story that's original and manages to take a strategy-heavy board game and turn it into gripping suspense and action. Character growth, gorgeous art, rivalry, tension, humor, and awe-inspiring skill in the delivery.
Forget Death Note. HikaGo is my fave Obata-sensei title. And if I ever meet Hotta-sensei, the writer, I will have to grovel in her presence.
DAMN but this is the type of story I want to tell. I don't mean in content, but in the reaction it can inspire. *shivers* I'm so moved I feel lost and don't know what to do.
Great, now I'm going to cry. <:| Tears of joy? Of frustration? Confusion? I don't know. It's probably a mix of all three.
Nrgh.
