Great Expectations

Hikaru no Go, Vol. 21

Ken Yuen

I like Ochi as a villain (or as close to one in this story) but he's pretty admirable here too. I like the stuff going on in the background with Touya's father, but on a reread, why does it feel like this is a story that got dropped before the manga was cancelled?

My take on this reread, is that the secret to this serie's greatness is whenever Sai shows up. Whether it being the mystery of Sai in Hikaru or Sai vs Touya's father.
