Hikaru no Go

I've just picked it up, I'm at Chapter 26 or thereabouts.

Hikaru himself and Sai are pretty appealing, but I'm not impressed by the side-characters so far.

Touya is..... creepy. Intense, emo kid who looks more effiminate than some of the female characters. Seriously, why the heck does the artist have to make his hair blow in the wind with bits of leaf and such every single time we see him? Yes, we get it, he's a bishy. We're not morons. Touya's entire characterisation seems to be "OMG Hikaru is better than me, I'm gonna stalk him until I get to have hot buttsecks play a game of Go with him." Not that one-dimensional characterisation is such a bad thing in manga like these, it just has to be effective.

Mitani is not bad, but not excellent either. He reminds me too much of a kleptomaniac Near (whom I detest). Still it remains to be seen if there is more to him.

The one side-character which I'd like to have seen more of is Akari, but she seems to be playing nothing more than sidekick/lunch-provider at the moment. I assume that's going to change in future chapters.

Though overall, up till this point, I enjoyed the manga, so I'm gonna continue to see what develops.
