Hikaru no Go Chapter 189 Discussion

This is the official last chapter of the manga. Chapters 190 & 191 are extras.

It was good, but the ending kinda sucked. It felt like it could contiue, bit it just didn't.  Overall though it was a good read and I really liked it!

----------------------------------------

                        That was a great phrase to end a great manga. 10/10, Hikaru no Go will be a manga that will stay in my heart forever.

I wish the author allowed Hikaru to win against strong opponents like Toya or Ko Yong Ha at least once. Sure Hikaru isn’t Sai and he will never be as strong as Sai but Hikaru is Sai’s only student.

after becoming a pro, Hikaru kept showing strong play and almost winning but never wins unless the player is weak or less experienced just in case of Yashiro.

And so what if he won against Hong Suyong!  He defeated him before becoming a pro. I guess winning doesn’t matter if you put a good show! Despite this disappointing outcome, the manga was fun read.

I do wish we got an ending that was bit more detailed. I would've liked to know more about Waya and Isumi.



Overall, this was a pretty good manga. I don't think it was perfect and it was pretty bland in the beginning but it gets really good when Hikaru starts playing on his own. Personally, the manga peaked during Toya Meijin v Sai but what came after was pretty good too. I do wish we got a definitive match between Akira and Hikaru again towards the end. 7/10.

The ending really felt anti-climatic for all the buildup I felt during those previous chapters, but overall, the series was awesome.why was it anticlimactic? It resolved all that was set up and made sense.

Just finished this manga. I loved reading it, but found the ending pretty disappointing. It feels like they planned to continue the manga at some point but then just didn't - it feels like it was cut short.



I think if I were to recommend this series to anyone I'd probably tell them to stop reading after Hikaru's dream about Sai, just like the anime. It just feels like a better end than what we ended up with, even if it isn't too conclusive either.

This chapter felt like it ended abruptly. All in all, Hikaru no Go was a great manga. 9/10 for the series overall.

Not exactly a phenomenal ending, but if what the rumor say is true, then I guess this is the best Yumi Hotta could do. That being said, the series really felt like it ended back in volume 17, kind of where the anime left off actually. Everything after feels like an extended epilogue, a glimpse into Hikaru's future. All in all this manga put me in a state hype few other's could do. The start of the match between Sai and Toya Mejin especially left with me with chills. A very well written story, with a fair bit of development for our main character, as well as the side characters around him. And told with a sort of subtle maturity you don't really see a lot of in Jump's line up of titles.
